He's forcing it. Just like Pritchard. Mazzulla may wake up one day, and Start Simons = He's a natural scorer.


I don't know how much that will help. It might, but it just feels like the ball movement is minimal and chucking up shots. Just isn't the answer no matter who starts.

This team is just so hard to watch. If it were up to me, this is a throwaway season. Get the highest pick possible and regroup in the summer. Frontcourt is a priority. Neemy isn't as promising as people make him out to be. I don't see I'm as a starter on a contender. White is unable to elevate his play along with his new role. And there's too many holes in the roster that can't all be fixed by the return of Tatum.

And yeah, Mazzulla is no Brad Stevens.

Naw. It's the loss of Jrue, next to White, in no small part. Jrue made everything look easy.
White is forced to step it up. As does Pritchard. Pritch does spectacular running the 2nd Unit.

Gotta Agree with all of that. Except the Tank.

Looking much better. It’s more hustle than we saw all night. Bumbling and fumbling but still doing in the right direction.

Nice having Simons in there

One thing I like about Garza is that he consistently finds a body to block out

Simons would've made that heave, we'd be tied up.
Gotta stop chasing the Game. We've never led.

While shooting isn't their strength. I do like seeing Walsh and Minot play Together. Just for that length and athleticism.
