Sort of surprising this team has been as bad as it has been. They got some decent wing talent and a good enough lead creator that you think they'd be better.

This is a trap game. Boston coming off a B2B with travel, 3rd game in 4 nights, end of long road trip with a big home game against the bucks Wednesday. The Hornets meanwhile normal rest no travel at home. Pretty big rest disadvantage.

Yeah, they also just got the domestic abuser back recently too.

Play everyone tonight, with perhaps Al being the only outlier given his age and Queta being back. Only Jrue played more than 35 minutes last night, and even Al only played 22z

Also, we’ve got some rest and a long 7 game home stand coming up starting this weekend, so we’ll be able to catch up on rest then.

Hopefully Hayward plays. He’s been getting triple singles the last 3 games.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

TRAP game, our bench can take this team.

I am not sure the Maine Celtics couldn't beat this CHA team.

The NBA is tough.  Monday night in CHA, second night of a back to back, against a "nothing to lose" team, I can understand that it is hard to maintain that top level intensity.

I think the idea of playing more bench earlier is probably a good strategy, and see how things look at half time.   Bring the starters out to start the second half of course but get the bench in early and often.

It appears Al (rest) and White (personal) are both out tonight now.

Might as well have rested Tatum too

Hope it's nothing serious with White and his family. I know his second child was born recently which he missed a game for

That's not actually a 7 game home stand. There's a gap there for the IST.

Jordan Walsh and JD Davidson were called up for tonight's game. It would be great to see some Walsh minutes tonight
