I think he will. It's surprising Kyrie's shot has been so rough but you're right, he's also recovering from a major surgery. We'll be fine. I'm pumped to see Hayward get back out there.

Ainge said on 98.5 after the opener that both Gordon/Kyrie are rusty too due to missed preseason/practices in general. He praised Gordon though being into the defensive end and just helping the team win.

He also suggested that coaches and everyone WANT Kyrie to take a lot of shots to get out of his funk since they want him to make the ones he normally makes.

It's nice to knowing you have a good enough squad to let a guy just shoot out of funk during games lmao

Nobody has lost faith in Kyrie. But even Kyrie said after the opener a few of those shots he thought were money and they didn't somehow go in. lmao.

Also with the issue of certain guys not being out there at the end of games or rotations, I guess starters can be benched due to matchups per Ainge or someone else having a hotter hand that night.

Key matchup tonight: Horford vs. Vucevic
A. Sherrod Blakely | NBC Sports Boston | Oct 22, 2018, 5:11 PM

https://sports.yahoo.com/key-matchup-tonight-horford-vs-211119773.html
Vucevic, coming off a 27-point, 13-rebound, 12-assist performance in a Saturday night loss to Philadelphia, will lead the Magic into the TD Garden to take on Horford and the Celtics.

Like so many big men who came into the NBA as back-to-the-basket centers, Vucevic has had to expand his game to include the 3-point shot.

In his first six seasons, Vucevic only had 30 made 3's.

Last season, he more than doubled that total (64), and so far this season has been flawless on 3-point shooting while making each of his four attempts.

Horford hasn't been quite that efficient, but he has shown the propensity to connect from beyond the 3-point line as well.

Tatum has played great but I’ve noticed him pass up several good looks at 3’s for difficult or long 2’s or a 1-2 dribble/pass that I’d like him to catch and shoot in rhythm. He’s so good but he could be downright ridiculous.
Hey Man, nice shot!

If they win by less than 10, they dont go to the finals.

If they lose. They dont make the ECF and my expectations drop.







I kid ;)

This should be competitive, like the start of last year. Gotta shake off the rust. Though, I see a 5-10 point win.

Is Gordon playing?
