I'd accuse the Pels of tanking but they already traded their 1st round pick. Plus it's Zion...he's always hurt.

Tankers are going to be very disappointed. Look at our lineup when we were actually tanking back in 2014

G - Jordan Crawford
G - Avery Bradley
F - Brandon Bass
F - Jared Sullinger
F - Jeff Green
6 - Kris Humphries

That is how you tank. Right now we have a top 20, top 30, and probably another top 100 player in the rotation. Will we lose more than we win? Kind of seems like it. Will we be a true 20-30 win tanker, definitely not

Just win one, then tank. Embarassing if we end up starting 0-8,0-9. That’s when the pressure to win one starts to get in their heads. Look like JB is playing

I'm just extremely grateful I can actually watch a game live for the first time this season.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

We also had Brad Stevens as the coach. He was probably good for 15 wins by himself. Mazzula, not so much. Funny how much I rooted for Crawford and Humphries. I wanted wins back then. This season seems a little different for me for some reason.

Herb Jones or Saddiq Bey is the starting center for New Orleans. If the Celtics can’t rebound tonight then they never will.

We winning this thing!!!

I love Minott in the starting lineup. Great call. His individual stats to start the year have been good, but his lineup groupings have been prett wonky, let's start him with the starters and see how it looks, I like that call

Joe is going to play Lego til he finds the right fit, the funny thing is, we started GREAT! At least it’s Minott. Only want to see young guys do their thing.

Who knows, maybe Mazzulla will remember who Jordan Walsh is tonight.

Minott Starting is great for me since he is my new binkie. But I would hope and expect to see at least 20 minutes from Hugo tonight as well and I would also hope that they play together Often.

and Baylor Scheierman!

For Scheierman, how many games before the team has to make a decision on his 3rd year contract option? What, two more games, before end of Oct??

Man, Baylor really needs to get in the game tonight and DO SOMETHING

I like Minott Starting. Boucher would have been good, as well.
Not sure how this Rotation is going to go, this year.

As long as Joe doesn't go with a small and soft lineup, Cs will always have a shot at winning, especially with JB and White playing.

It has to be Queta and Boucher or Queta and Mynot for most of the game.

Going with JB at the PF spot and 3 small or soft players will result in the Cs always losing the rebounding battle.
