Walsh and Minott mainly and Brown and Queta have basically wrecked my hopes at a top 3 pick. Which I still really want. But truth is, I am and have always been the number promoter of letting young talented guys play. Tatum's injury has forced a Coach that rarely likes to play young players into doing so. And the results have been far better than even I have imagined. This season, regardless of finish is becoming and should remain one of the more "fun" seasons in a long while.

Also thinking ahead, When Tatum does in fact return, I also would love to see Walsh or Minott, stay as a starter and have a lineup of Queta?? Tatum-Walsh-Brown-White. And PP goes back to 6th man. Our starters will have some nice switch-ability and no weakness on defense. Honestly both Walsh and Minott can guard the opposition's best offensive player all while knocking down enough 3s to keep the Jays from getting clogged up.

If Boston does indeed get another quality center (without giving up 2 firsts) then Boston can in fact be real contenders again.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Was hoping for a late lottery pick as well rather than a playoff early exit, but glad Hugo Minott Walsh are exceeding expectations. Hopefully the trio is going to be here for years unlike Nesmith, can't have enough POA defenders

Raps 3rd in East but only a half-game ahead of 5th place Boston. And just lost to the Lakers team we smashed.

Celtics could be #3 tomorrow with a win, depending on what Heat and Magic do this weekend.

Fingers crossed we are able to have Drew and Scal commentary on our streams/tv or this is going on mute (The Raptors commentators are really biased and annoying lol)

Hoping for a big game from Lawnmower and Jordan Walsh to finally get a game where he is not unfairly punished by the refs for his outstanding physical defence.

Lets go C's !!!!

Celtics are 4th seed.
Though, 3rd seed and 9th seed are separated by a Game and a half.

Let the Good Times roll!!!

Just win as many games as they can. Maybe we can snatch a really good big by the deadline, just in time to scare teams in the east when JT does return healthy this season.

Winning this game would be great for our place in the standings. TO be honest, I'm not scared of anyone in the east.

Tatum had Deuce when he was 11;)

I am not going to look at any media that tells me how old Larry is today. Oh ****, and now I have to avoid doing the math because I do know the year he was born! :)

Ron Harper Jr, went OUT in the first half.
I think that it was a knee-to-knee injury?

With everyone asking for an upgrade at center, Fine, If we can.. But shouldn't Amari be getting a good look in the Big leagues as Queta's backup first?? Not saying he is good or ready, but does anyone really have any idea?? No..

I mean shouldn't Jordan Walsh prove as a perfect example for us. When JW played sparingly and got many DNPs, he was terrible when he did get his small chance. As it turns out, JW could never get in the groove, develop any individual and/or team rhythm and definitely not any real confidence and comfort.

And I am not asking for major minutes, but even a steady every game 8-10 min stretch in the first half of games can do wonders. If there is a game he is struggling a bit, fine, no 2nd half minutes. But If he does indeed play OK-good, then it is a win win IMO.

Danny was always good at understanding this. Used to stress how much opportunity could be the needed, well, opportunity for many guys to make it in the league.
