Wake the f up Brad, its game 2

Beal is such a shaky ballhandler still.

And think about this, gents. This bench is an *IMPROVEMENT* over the one we started the season with.

Wall leaves and Beal leads the team....and the lead evaporated on queue...

[Meliorus]

Need a new bench. We think we're cool and revolutionary having a small forward guard IT. The rest of the league thinks we're cuckoo.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

Smh Beal is useless out there. Don't even get me started on Ernie's bench .

[pineappleheadindc]

Scott Brooks to Wall: How about you play 47 minutes tonight?

In the meantime the Post has already written two pieces since the regular season finished on what an amaazing job Grunfail has done building this team.

Can't trust our bench for anything.

Not all the bench's fault. Beal and Gortat have been in there.

[CobraCommander]

Wall has rested enough....get him back Brooks...

But of course NOW wall will start forcing it on the way to 6 turn overs....

Why Jennings so bad

[miller31time]

So from my observations, our bench doesn't need to play well because that would be absurd. It just won't happen so let's move on to what the bench CAN do....

1. Not turn the ball over.
2. Play really, really slow. Like, use at least 20 seconds of the shot clock each time.
3. Have Jennings initiate all offense but never shoot. All offense should be Beal off-ball.
4. Only let Beal push the ball in transition. No one else does or they have to do suicides after the game, High School style.

The goal isn't to play well. It's to survive long enough to give Wall a breather.

[NatP4]

This hurts my eyes.

[Meliorus]

This is not an unsolvable problem. We know this bench lineup doesn't work and will never work. Change the damn rotation.

Is Brooks just going to accept that we're going to be destroyed every-time the bench goes in? We're not even getting destroyed at a normal rate. We give up 10 points in like 3 minutes. That's like getting destroyed on steroids.

[dangermouse]

Brooks: "how's your wrist John?"
Wall: "I think its broken in 3 places"
Brooks: "Damn ok, we'll only play you 45 minutes today instead of 48 ok?"

Gortat not getting the ball with Kelly and Beal playing like rooty pooh

[Shanghai Kid]

If we lose this game in the same way as game 1 that would be unbelievable.

[80sballboy]

Need a new bench. We think we're cool and revolutionary having a small forward guard IT. The rest of the league thinks we're cuckoo.

Beal and Wall can't guard him either. So you want Jennings to defend him?

[The Fax]

If only we had a 60 million dollar rim protector to bolster the bench...

[queridiculo]

Boston has the ugliest crowd in the league, by far.
