In all likelihood, yep.

Too many massive holes in his game offensively.

How do you let Joe **** Ingles be the jazz best rebounder and get outrebounded? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET ANGRY ON THAT LOCKER ROOM.

Fortunately, I have enough going on in my life right now that I can avoid taking a long hard look at this team, and just hope they get things sorted out by the new year.

Smart is actually very consistently bad on offense.

At least Hoods on my fantasy team, otherwise **** this game.

Agree. This is a worse loss than Chicago. At least with that one you could blame the schedule, the road, no Kyrie, yada yada.

Anthony Davis anyone!?!? This start was deceiving, we’re not deep enough to make a Championship run.

Strongly agree on this, he moves so slowly and makes bad decisions with the ball... no handle.

To be fair, the team was supposed to have Hayward and Morris.


But it doesn’t anymore.

Time for Danny to get to work. You’ve got the DPE. Use it.

Morris has become too much of a gamble, at this point.
We're not sure of the duration of his injury.

I say Trade him, and get some scoring on the Bench.

I’ll settle for a backup guard that can actually shoot higher than 35%.

I love Tatum, and think he will be a star. But I'd consider starting Smart and bringing Tatum off rhe bnech for now. You will be able to hide Smarts shooting and let him create for others. And then bring Tatum off the bench to give the 2nd unit some legit offense.

I'd rather move Brown to the bench than Tatum, but I can't see him as an efficient scorer off the bench.

Got to cut the ties with Nader and get somebody that can actually play. We have nobody that can score at SF or SG consistently. Brown, Rozier, Tatum and Smart are still all '20 points today 4 points tomorrow type of guys'.

Trade for now. We still have 3 months for the DPE.

People are gonna ride out to hot take city tonight but this lack of depth and experience was the cost of acquiring Hayward and Kyrie and unfortunately, GOrdo's injury put us in a bind from the git. This type of play was bound to happen eventually, amazing it took this long.

Seriously. It was puzzling when he actually made the team to begin with. Now it’s just nonsense.

Celtics have been very average since the streak.
