Vuc to have surgery on his broken ring finger tomorrow.  He'll be out for one month.

If he comes back in a month, there will be 4 games left until the playoffs.

Not ideal for a guy who is still settling in.

Won't be surprised if at that point we just stick with Garza for the limited backup big minutes. I honestly don't think there's that big if any of a gap between them at this point.

Yeah, honestly he had not really caught up to what Garza had been giving us.  I assumed he would by the end of the season with that additional familiarity, but now I wonder if Garza reclaims the #2 role for the rest of the season.

Jinx!

Although I do think that Queta is substantially better enough on defense to have a gap between the other two.

Vucevic is better at everything. This is why they traded for him. He just needs to get familiar with this Celtics team.

Problem is that opportunity to get familiar is now lost.  Luka was very serviceable heading into the trade, and his understanding of what to do made up for most deficiencies in ability.  I guess the bright side is we had a quality 3rd-string center.
