Unfortunately, Bogey, House and Dok are still listed OUT. For the Celtics, Smart and Reggie Williams are listed as green, likely GTD. Celtics are favored by 4.5 in the early betting.

God I hate Snyder. In a game that we were never competitive in Snyder still managed to only find 5 minutes for NAW, Butler and Jauncho. I'm so ready for this Snyder era to end. We may have to waive Forrest just so he can't be played over Butler and NAW.

Jazz weren't supposed to win tonight, but I would have liked to see more resilience than that. Getting Bogdanovic and House back will help.

If it were up to me, Forrest would be out of the playoff rotation. He just can't do anything at this level.

That was a pretty big beatdown. The game must have been hard for Ainge to watch considering it is pretty much his guys that are finally putting it together and have a shot to come out of the east. Their three lengthy, switchable wings of Tatum, Brown and Smart, who are performing on both ends of the floor, are a problem for the undersized Jazz. Probably have to give significant credit to new coach Udoka too, who has them sharing the ball and playing for each other. Boston had a whopping 37 assists last night, including 13 from Smart. Wish we had drafted Smart over Exum.
