I think both CBS and Ainge deserve some of the blame with their sticking to small ball all the time. There are quite a few teams that really match up well with us and give us problems because of their size. Small should be a tactical option not a team's sole strategy.
The bench is thin and injury or not, the Hayward signing is not panning out as he is not playing like a max player. I hope he proves me wrong. I think our draft hurt us as well Langford is oft injured, Grant who is over hyped by folks here and the team is woefully undersized and under equiped to play small ball center unless it is certain matchups.
Last year's team we had a superstar.
We lack shooting. There are only a few guys that I don't cringe when they shoot threes. Tatum, Brown, Hayward and Walker.
That being said, this is my team and I support it, but surely folks can admit we have some flaws. I root for us to win every game.
Lately though, there are nights when you can tell we are going to lose from the get go in terms of our effort and attitude. That should not be happening. We are not good enough to pick up at the end and win every game. Play with effort the whole game!
