Celtics (2-0) at Wizards (1-1) Game #3 10/30/23

[SparzWizard]

Well, good news is that our top 6 took care of business, and got to take the last quarter off. The challenge for Brad will be filling this bench out, whether that's through a trade or through the buyout market.

Go search for the buyout market. Look for any ring-chasing vets. Make it happen BRAD!!

Kornet cannot be on this team. And the Celtics still need a reliable scorer off the bench

Played 11 mins.. 0pts and 1reb. Wow

I don't think I've been this excited since...the start of the 2007-2008 season folks.

Yeah , it kinda feels like that for sure.

Silas should go to every game....

Kareem could do better than that now from a wheel chair

Our bench is awful. We need a reliable PF and wing off the bench so that we don't waste this potential special season with this top 6 core. The Wizards scrubs were schooling our bench tonight. It was embarrassing.

Late TPs for win #3!

Robinson-Earle or even Frank Kaminsky would be nice to add to this bench?

I think we have enough wings to figure that part out. I'm most concerned about the third guard and third center spots.

I went to the game tonight. It was great seeing how effortless the starters dominated the Wizards. Once they got up 30+ early, they just eased up (Tatum most of the game). Jaylen with 32 minutes tonight was too much, but at least they weren't grueling minutes.

But, my god, the bench was just abysmal. I am going to assume PP will bounce back and Hauser should find his stroke again at some point. Kornet is just not an NBA player (I've been saying this for years). I wonder what he has on Brad to keep him on the team year after year. We need a back-up big or at least need to keep Queta active on the roster to see what we have in him. I'd like to see more of Lamar and don't mind injecting Svi in there to see if he is hot.

As long as we are healthy going into the playoffs, it's not too concerning, but wow, we got to see just how large the gap is between our top 6 and the rest of the roster.

I 2nd that

Just got home.  I third that.  The first 3 quarters were great, our 6 starters all looked good.  The bench really sucked, especially Kornet and Banton.  PP missed all his shots but played hard and had 7 reb and 6 assists.  Not great but ok.  Sam played strong defense and had 8 rebs.  Both Sam and Payton will eventually make their 3s but they didn't tonight.  All in all it was a great 3 quarters to watch in person.  The Cs are one hell of a strong team.  Just need some work on the bench.

I thought so too before the season started but the first three games have eroded my confidence in our bench wings.

How did Gallinari look?

[Celtics Mike]

Chalk up another win. The starters played well.  they are beginning to gel. Pray that they stay healthy.
