Not a great performance by any means, but a win is a win.  Good job C's.

I thought Garza was a slow stiff early in the season. I was dead wrong. He?s a quality backup big.

A Queta/Vucevic/Garza front court is pretty good and looks a lot better than the outlook we had before this season began

It has become quite a deep Center rotation.

Nice win !!

Why, all of a sudden, after some excellent contribution, is Jordan Walsh wracking up consecutive DNP's ?

Tatum is back and they're trying to bring him along. Baylor is playing great on both ends. Hugo is a better prospect and there's only space to give developmental minutes to one.

Baylor is playing really well. I thought the move back to the bench would hurt him but apparently not. His rebounding has been huge.

Queta had 12pts and 11rebs in 18 mins of play.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:
Quote
At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Have there been any stories about Jaylen Brown putting extra work in at the free throw line during the summer ?
He has been amazing. Brown was never a bad FT shooter, just shaky at times, but has been rock solid this season.

Garza is such a selfless team first player. He sits for days at a time but is always ready when called upon. Joe deserves a lot of credit for these guys all being ready, being selfless, and not being b!tchy about minutes, and when they play they know their role and positioning exactly.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

And Brad deserves credit for getting rid of the players that don't have the right mindset (Boucher and Miinott)
