If Brook stays healthy this season, is it safe to say that he'll have his best rebounding season? Looks like a completely different rebounder than in the past.

But shooting comes and goes, so whatever. It's really obvious that Deron/JJ/Wallace/Lopez are still trying to figure out what they need to do.

They need to get the inside/outside game going. They're still figuring out who's going to be taking the shots. I feel like I'm watching the Heat play in 2010 right after Lebron and Bosh signed... everyone is passing the ball and no one is stepping up right away. It will get better, people will learn their roles on the team.

I hope this game is a wake up call to them and they take defense seriously starting Nov 1st.

id like to see us turn some of these uncontested layups into hard fouls or even a goaltending. this stand there and watch thing is crap.

I'm completely against hard fouls here. This isn't the 90s. I'd rather our players not risk getting suspended or get hurt on a retaliation.

Joe botching the alley oop to Wallce sums up this entire game. Good lord.

I just noticed Boston has 4 free throws...to our 26...Definitely says something about this game.

Deron's shooting looks like the beginning of last season's...atrocious.

You could wish all you want about Kevin Love, but will it happen? Our luck says no.

I was just joking, but hey, you never know!

LOL at them not being able to finish a tip in. Wow.

tell that to Boston. They are treating it as a real regular season game. We are not. It's unacceptable.

it doesnt need to be a flagrant, just enough to make sure its nto a 3 point play and let him earn it at the line.

either way, standing there watching with your hands at your side is just embarassing
