Walsh and Springer are doing some good things. It was nice to see Springer's 3 go down because his D is energetic and effective.

If Walsh can crack the rotation the C’s pipeline development through Maine will show it’s better than Miami’s overhyped development.

I think that they're looking really good.
Especially, with Horford and Porzingis Out.

Barring injuries the only team that can beat the Boston Celtics in a 7 game series is the Boston Celtics.

Any word on why Horford is not playing?
He didn't even warm up.

Maybe. I do think a Celtics/Thunder final this year would be epic.

38?
Horford seems like he could have played. He's in sweats.

By-the-way, I don't even see Porzingis on the Bench; anyone else?

Knee jerk reaction id keep Walsh with the big club all year and have Rico and Watson develop in Maine. Let him learn how to be a pro now everyday.

Only thing is, Walsh will never see the floor here.
I say, switch him back and forth? Bring him up for insurance, and when he might get a chance to play.
