Coby doesn't have it. Don't have enough scoring to stay in this.

Coby needs to clean up these brain-dead drives.

I hate Boston. They are the only team that is going to challenge an out of bounds play up 24.

Even Billy would have let that go.

EDIT: Serves him right we got the call anyway.

Celtics challenging up 24 in the third at home.

I'm glad to see Matas is getting a decent amount of playing time today.

Coby's going to end up with a high point stat this game but he runs an UGLY offense. It's painful to watch when's on-ball & creating (he's fine off-ball & just shooting).

Vuc regressing back to the norm before our eyes. I would sit him til the deadline before his value keeps tanking like Nvidia.

I agree. His final stats aren't going to tell the whole story about how he played today.

That was a pretty pass by PWill. Too bad Smith didnt finish.

Did Stacey King say that Matas is going to bulk up? I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly. My two cents is that Matas doesn't need to. He just needs to get stronger and develop over time.

What changed for him? Is he healthier or just being more aggressive?

I think it just makes sense to keep PWill off the bench. Its clearly obvious that he plays differently off the bench. He has been night and day better the last two gsames.

Mindset.

He does believe he deserves it. Low self esteem is hard to fix.

Matas showed a few new moves with his slightly bigger role tonight. I'm not a fan of Billy running these three guard lineups just to keep Matas on the bench, hopefully that ends after the deadline moves.

Team has no plan. Matas should be playing 30+ minutes a night. Who cares if it causes extra losses?
