Liam,

Tatum for Brown who says no.

Jaylen for Brown!

[liam]

Did TPs rain?

Just a sprinkle...

[liam]

Ime says he doesn't like to take players out too quickly... I'm not a fan of Ime.

I'm all for letting them play. Get some toughness into these punks. Too many lazy plays. Ride them. Hard. Until they know what work is.

Ime says he felt good about the Bulls game? WHAT?

Al's 35 and Tatum looks gassed. It was a blow out. When are those bench guys going to get time?

See this is the tricky part.

I agree with the comment about Al.

But also, I think this is fine for game 8 or whatever it was.

If this continues past game 25+, I'ma be more worried.

If we wanna win a title, in games vs opponents like the Wiz, our starters should blow them out by 30+ points in the first half.

We, did not.

So until we blow out the Magic by 30+ points in the first half, I'm okay with riding these starters until they do.

I like that Marcus floatery drive thing. He's been doing that a bit here and there I feel.

I prefer it over his 3s at this point :x Sorry Marcus.

.edit: also fits well with his lil alley-oop games with our bigs. I think Marcus is pretty decent at finding them under the basket when they cut.

He's a big guard, that's hard to stop and a good look most of the time.

Ime worried already!

We saw the end of bench crowd in the last two minutes of the game and except for a Nesmith 3, they were pathetic. When Payton got in earlier in the game his defense was truly awful.

I understand fans wanting to see guys that aren't playing when the regulars aren't playing well, but end of bench guys are usually at the end of the bench for a reason.

Just because fans haven't seen them in practice and pregame workouts doesn't mean the coaches haven't seen them and designated them in the rotation properly. How many times do we have to hear about

Free Patrick O'Bryant
Free Fred Steimsma
Free Jarvis Varnado
Free James Young
Free RJ Hunter
Free Yabusele
Free Carsen Edwards

Before we maybe put a little trust that the coaches know why they aren't playing these scrubs.

But sure

Free Juancho
Free Bruno
Free Kanter

Cause they're going to make a difference

Except I've seen Pritchard, Nesmith, Kanter, Juancho and Romeo play. These aren't guys who've never played.

We need another big behind Al/Rob ...... or maybe not, maybe just play a wing at the 4 behind them. And so frustrating how Nesmith still seems so lost.

On the plus side, Romeo is becoming a pretty good rotational player.

Romeo moves the rock, hits open shots, is decisive and plays tough D. Play him!

Wow the Celtics actually won tonight

[Silas]

Missed the live game and just finished my recording.  Glad we won but it looked to me it was more Magic losing than Cs winning.  Al is amazing.  What is up with Tatum?
