BOS is going to lose to MIN tonight, with both teams missing multiple key players. MIN is without their Big 3, and BOS is missing Smart and Tatum, but they do have Brown.

Boston lost to a flea fur team with some just signed folks playing big minutes. And Boston still had not just Brown but Horford and both Williams boys, and also Juan Hernangomez and Jabari Parker and recent ish picks Pritchard and Langford. Away game in Minny but still had a 9 FTs edge…. Has to be a bit concerning.

Don't they still need 2 negative tests before they're able to play?

And Kevin Love is a hell of a 10th man. Nice to have to have a starting championship big man just step in when people are out with covid who can easily throw up 22 & 9 on 12 shots.

And Allen should be an all-star this season IMO.

If the East takes two centers, surely he's the second. I don't see any other Eastern candidates after Embiid.

Looks like DJJ is questionable for Wed...getting him back would be great!

I did a Satoransky stat check with a 10 game sample size, now 29 games.

2.8 PPG, 30.9 FG%, 15% 3PT.

Nice to see Alizé get signed and get some burn

What happened to him? Is it a lack of playing time that keeps him from getting into a rhythm? On the Bulls I thought he was a conservative player, but okay (and much better than those stats above).

With those percentages I'm sure it's more than just lack of minutes, hell it's probably why he doesn't get more playing time.

Sato seemed very upset when he was traded, maybe being in NOLA broke him?

It's possible that he just lost interest in the NBA. Maybe he goes to Europe after this?

Possible, he may just want out of NOLA, I could see Sato being a buy out candidate.

The Wizards sure fell off after their fast start. Starting to think a Bradley Beal trade is on the horizon.

Boston's had a down year. I don't know if it's the new coach, or the pandemic or something else. I'm sure they're hoping their young players step up (Pritchard, Lanford and Nesmith), but it seems like their development has been slow.

Rubio went down with a non-contact injury tonight. It could be season ending. It's a big loss for them as he was playing 28 minutes a game and usually in their closing line-up.

That sucks... Hope it's not too serious he was having a great season in a great role on that Cavs team. You'd almost rather have a positive Covid Test at the point vs an actual injury.

That sucks indeed, one of the guys I hope to see succeed in the NBA. An awesome Pro, got traded many times but always play his heart out for every team he plays for. Hopefully nothing too serious.
