Reality setting in to some degree, especially for Garza and Walsh. SAS is a good team. This BOS team is going to lose to good teams sometimes. BOS had a really good stretch, now they are probably going to come back down to earth some.
As to the game, Garza was -14 and Walsh -12. Ouch. These guys had been +/- darlings during the good stretch. Walsh was shooting out of his mind. I am still waiting to see what is steady state for these guys. Somewhere in the middle I expect/hope. And Scheierman had a great game. 10 points and +4 in 26 minutes. Very efficient shooting. Didn't see that coming.
It should not be a surprise that this team has ups and downs. It is a flawed roster with a lot of players being asked to do things they have never done before. But this team is better than I thought.
I do think part of the reason for the +/- being the way it was in this game was Wemby coming off the bench. And specifically with Garza basically matching Wembys minutes that is going to have a very negative impact on him.
With that being said I do think Walsh has sadly come back to earth. Similar to Minott in a way. Joe has Hugo Walsh Minott and Baylor all playing sporadically so we will likely see more of that although will be interesting to see how that all shakes out when Tatum comes back.
