As far as the center rotation, don't rule out Tatum at 5 stints. There's a few matchups where that will make some sense.

Yeah I agree. I think there will be some times where teams are hurting us in the pick and roll and trying to switch everything will be our way to give a different look.

I would go Baylor.

Queta is very very close, and he has probably been the most improved overall and is a legit starting center. But Baylor has shocked me, he's ended up looking even better than Hauser already and is capable of starting on this team. That's a crazy turnaround from how it looked before December. Plus in the past month, he's had some big games against teams like OKC and NY. That's incredible, and a good sign going forward.

Queta. He turned into a legitimate starting caliber center. I always liked him, but thought he?d be more of a backup. Then I?d probably go with JB. Turned into a top 10 player in the NBA.

I noticed you didn?t list Joe as an option.  :laugh:

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.

Posted it in the NBA Season thread as well, but Celtics open up Game 1 next Sunday at 1 PM

Kind of surprised the C's get an ABC primetime game to start
