After reading all the responses, it seems like the general consensus is, give it time or wait and see. I by all means don't want a panic response to our record etc.. But I really don't care how many games we win or lose early. I rather focus on the bigger picture. Are we better than last year?
We were quite close to the Finals. We could have and some say, should have, made it there. Since then in our offseason we had 4 draft picks and GH to either sign, trade or in this case S+T.
We managed to lose GH, not trade him, all while being razor thin on talent/depth. We had 4 draft picks, managed to get 2 hopeful talents, while the other 2 we basically wasted. On a team that has some absolute holes and needs on our roster.
Ainge/Stevens have decided to "stick with" our younger players and try to develop them. Grant Williams, Romeo, C Edwards, Tremont Waters, J Green and Tacko. As well as keep Theis and Semi O playing in the Rotations.
Ainge managed to get 2 pretty decent veterans with Teague and TT. both needed, but neither makes up the difference for what should be our ultimate goal.

And Yes I know we still have a TPE.
So the big question I ask again. Are we better than last year? I guess the fairest answer is, time will tell.
But along the way, it still appears to be painfully obvious that a bench relying on Grant Williams, Semi, Ja Green, C Edwards, T Waters and never show a sign of shooting ability Romeo Langford with 2 rookies seem to be far off what a good supporting cast Boston has to be a real contender.
Are you guys OK with another good but nothing special season. Are you OK with the potential "treadmill" of making it to the final 4 or less? Is standing "Pat" now the status Quo?
Not saying Boston should Go All in (Harden) but the constant just let things ride out has knarred my insides out. We are NOT far off, but something has to change. Watching the same limited or even bad players over and over again, year after year, while NOT doing anything, yet justifying it somehow is as BIG a problem as anything else.
What is the definition of insanity? You know, Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
Basically this is just how I feel.
