Celtics have 20 fast break points...Woves with just 3...that's been an issue. That's like 3 straight possessions where Celtics scored in transition

This has been a game of runs. I feel like these teams are pretty equal so far, and whoever has a run at the end will win.

After having watched enough games this season, it is pretty clear that the Gobert trade is a massive failure even though KAT is out right now. This will set back this franchise big time, with DLo, Reid and Nowell potentially leaving next off-season.
Seriously, I don't understand the positive value Gobert puts on the table within our roster. Just terribly, terribly bad especially bidding against themselves.
Extremely frustrating after last season, but nothing new as a MIN fan...

That's a wrap. Close game for a while but Boston blew it open. This team needs to find rebounders in the future, we can't board to save our lives outside of Rudy.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Sad that we actually rebounded really well with Rudy out.

Rudy back … two straight losses. TC has a lot of work to do to pull off done value from a horrible trade.

Yup. For the first time in a decade, I’ve stopped watching. We’ve decimated our future. I don’t see how we climb out of this. Gobert is listed as one of the worst contracts in the league and we gave up a crazy amount of useful players plus our future drafts. Our team just doesn’t work.

I’d have been much more interested if we had this record with no trade bc I’d still see a future. Heck, we could have probably gotten Turner now for a couple of protected firsts and salary. Turner plus our role players back makes us a much better team than current fly constructed. Plus we’d have future picks back.

Ugh. After being a fan going back to the dome year, I can’t believe this is what has broken my fandom.

At least our emotional leader will be back at some point, right?
Who would have thought that missing the playoffs and even the play-in seems to be a realistic option after pulling off this trade?!

Dlo took 8 shots in 1st half and was Ballin 1st half and only 5 shots in 2nd half..was he doubled or guarded by Smart or sth. Edwards took alot of shots even though he's shooting 50%. Novell too.

Time to fire Finch.. He's overrated. Best we can be is. 500 even with a healthy roster.

This roster isn’t even close to healthy.

I would also look at the option of firing Finch, because we need a system, not this garbage.
While some of you might disagree, in Europe (especially in soccer) it is a very common procedure as it is usually much harder to make effective changes in the roster.

Honestly that’s the next move for the new owners. It’s on Finch to make it work or be gone.

It’s just the reality of the situation.
