C's blew this game when the bench came in as usual. Pray for a Kyrie miracle.

Too many guys on this roster who can't shoot.

Bingo

Can the C's really make it back to the ECF with this bench?

He will do none of that. It's not about this year. Don't let the early hot start change your expectations for the season.

No.

This team is maddening now.  Settling for jump shots all night (just like last night).  And Rozier has been a huge pile of stinking trash.  Time to move on from this guy.  He can't shoot and can't finish at the rim.  Need some offensive firepower coming off the bench.

Kyrie making no attempt to run a ball movement offense - just dribble and jack

Maybe but they will be blown out.

Ainge will have to decide whether to play for this season (which means swinging a deal to get some veteran bench help here) or suck it up with what he's got and just live with the results.  As constituted this roster will struggle in the playoffs against a good team that can play defense - because they don't shoot it well enough.

[lrybrd]

Can someone remind Irving that he has Ron Baker on him!

[SCeltic34]

Well, it's understandable if we lose this game given how shorthanded we are and having played last night.  But the loss to Miami was completely unacceptable.

[jpotter33]

We have a ton of injuries tonight. We're on the second night of a back to back, and we're in a really tough stretch of a bunch of games.

However, this poor rotation management and gameplan by Brad is inexcusable. Tatum having one shot in the first half is unbelievable, and this whole bench rotation issue has just killed us in so many games all year long, though granted it was more difficult to manage tonight.
