Is Boucher worse than Garza??

Minott is taking all of Boucher mins at PF. Garza is playing C. They both suck, though.

Minott definitely does not suck...

I agree, which is why I said he?s taking Bouchers mins. Boucher and Garza suck.

Suggs reminds me of D-White so much.

Good fight from the team after being down 16 in the 1st

Garza better be glued to the bench the rest of the game

JB is Michael Jordan from mid-range if he just focuses on that and not jacking up 3s

I'd love to get Queta's conditioning to the point where he can give us 30 minutes per game without gassing.  He's on pace for about that in this game and he kinda looks like he's dying out there, lol.

Sorry, I miss read your post.

Hauser, Simmons and Garza have really looked off. Just easily letting the magic score on them. I just want to watch the young wings in Minot, Walsh and Hugo work hard and try to learn to be effective on offense.

I'm willing to be patient with Hauser because he's always at 40%+ in the end.  Done it his whole life.  He's a bit exposed on defense with this roster because our interior defense is so dodgy but I still think we need to play him. 

Simons drives me nuts.  I don't think Garza is off so much as he's just a very limited player.  I at least see the rationale with most of Stevens' moves but that one is strange to me.

Feels like the Celtics have outplayed the Magic, but the Magic are +15 from three which is what's keeping them ahead.

13-29 for the magic, 8-28 for the Celtics. Its REALLY hard to overcome that sort of disparity from three.

Crazy thing is, we're hanging with the Magic and outside of the Rockets game I do feel we've actually been competitive in every game so far this season despite the lack of talent and no frontcourt. Tatum coming back would just change so much and elevate things.

[Atzar]

Queta has rolled open into the paint numerous times tonight and our ball handlers are doing a poor job of seeing him.  Need to be better about that.

Good to see Simons hit two.  Tie game.

Hugo and Walsh combining on a pure effort offensive rebound.

All they need is Tatum back at 100% and one more decent center (not even a star, just a solid guy) to platoon with Queta and I feel like they could compete with anybody in the East at least.

I owe Walsh this.  Last week I thought he should be cut.  Last game I acknowledged that he played well but hedged because it was the Wizards.  Now he's playing a respectable team and still contributing positively.  Good for him.  Keep playing hard, kid.
