The Pritchard situation:

[Kernewek]

I'm not a Pritchard guy but it's seven games into the season and you just signed him to a four-year extension -- you have to keep playing him and hope he sorts himself out over time. You're about 40 games away from giving up on him and benching him.

Agreed with this.

7 games into the season in early November is such a small sample size. It's also why I don't put much stock in people freaking out over our 2 losses. As if we were going 82-0.

Things tend to revert to the median.

Nice to see Pritchard be more aggressive last night but he needs to hit more of those open 3s still.

He will. He didn’t forget how to shoot. Pritchard will regain the confidence and get back to 40%.

He's got the right attitude: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/payton-pritchard-talks-critical-boston-084938693.html

I like what he has to say about his shooting problems.  He is becoming a better all around player.  I still like our bulldog!

I agree.  We all know PP can shoot and he will regain his stroke.  The worry a lot of us had was the rest of his game.  He's proving he's more then a floor spacer.  He's playing aggressive D, rebounding and dropping some nice dimes.  Very pleased with his development.

Trade him for Steph Curry

Have you seen Steph's contract? It will be immovable. They would have to give us a few picks.

I was going to throw Puke Kornet in too …..deal of a lifetime for GS.

at some point Pritchard will regain his stroke. the guy is averaging 20% so far on the year but he's never averaged less than 36% from 3 which was last year.

Hauser seems to have regained his stroke. we look alot better when he's hitting open 3's off the bench. now if Horford can also regain his stroke our bench suddenly doesn't look so bad.

I wonder if Horford is just adjusting to his bench role. he shot 44% from 3 last year. averaging 24% thus far.

Hope the game against the hornets was a start for pritchard. If he, Horford and Hauser can all hit their last season average from 3 this bench actually starts to look decent.

We do really need those bench guys hitting shots. I really like it when Joe expands the rotation.

The inconsistency of the bench from game-to-game is killing them right now. Horford finds the fountain of youth, then loses it the next game. Hauser looks great and Pritchard can't buy a shot. Next game, they change places with Hauser clanking shots and Pritchard looking superb.....I guess most teams have inconsistent benches.

This is actually the answer.  And the teams that don’t usually have weak starting lineups.

Yes.  Particularly on the road with the benches.
