We have two starters and a key bench player that have been injured but we should be playing better than we have.  These next 5 are all winnable games so who knows.  We are 3-3 which is fine but I don't see us breaking out just yet.  I just feel like we are going to hover around 0.500 for a bit before we make a run.

Maybe this year we underachieve in the regular season but overachieve in the playoffs (opposite of last season).

I wouldn't be too mad about that, to be honest. At the end of the day, the regular season doesn't mean very much if you can't do anything in the playoffs. A third straight year of losing in the first round would be horrible. If it takes the entire [dang] season to sharpen our skills, but we're in top form in the playoffs, so be it.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.

Noel will be our Christmas Present and we should have all we need to make 5 game runs common place.

It's early in the season.  Don't stress some struggles.   Horford is 10x better than Zeller.  Crowder is 10x better than Jaylen.  Both are extremely important to our defense and spacing.  Once we get those two stars back, we'll start rattling off wins.

Health is everything .


Few teams can afford to miss three of their best players , have others playing sore and not struggle some.

These minor accidents like Horford , Crowder and Smart are killing us.

No Progress for Horford   :-[
"Celtics big man Al Horford (concussion) did not practice Monday. Coach Brad Stevens said Horford has not progressed in concussion protocol."

But i am still positive. , 4:1 will be OK.
