The reason Brad Stevens might not be the coach you think he is.

Top seven without Pritchard?

Yeah I would include PP in that group.

Kemba, Smart, Tatum, Brown, TT

Pritchard, Fournier, Timelord


On paper that's a serviceable top 8 if you have all of those guys reasonably healthy and able to play.

But as mentioned this has basically never been the case this season.

If our top 8 are fully healthy, we can still be an effective team in the playoffs.   Could see us competitive with the Bucks at least. To beat the Sixers or Nets would require some luck (i.e. injury to key players on their side).

That is my ray of sunshine this evening.  I still think we have a base 8 that is pretty decent if they get their act together.
