Tacko looks better than Bamba lol

Tacko played 3 minutes, Mo played the whole game I'm pretty sure he was gassed. Loved the block he had on Tatum though.

He played 5.3 minutes. Know your facts !

No seriously, Fall looked like he was on slow-motion on offense. He was so slow that it was deceptive. I guess that is kind of an offensive strategy. Bore your defender ???

Bamba had 0 FGM in first half. Bamba scored all field goals after game went into garbage time, with 8 min left in 3rd quater and Celtics being up by 23. Most hilarious part about that is fact that Celtics centers lineup was made of : Robert Williams starting ( guy is hardly 6'8), Luke Kornet and Taco Fall, yet Bamba was still incapable fo doing anything during part of game where semi competitive basketball was played.
He opened 1st quater, with 4 inches adventage over Williams, by taking 3 threes. He didn't have FGA in second quater but went to FT line 3 times ( 5/6 FTs).
After game went to garbage time ( basically in first 3 min of second half) he did his portion of box score stuffing. Ended up with 19 points & 15 rebounds. Mostly due scoring 7 points late in 4th quater where he was only rotation player left on the both teams. Celtics menaged to play some guy Waters and some person i thought was water boy when i saw him on bench( guy is like 5'7 ) .

Only objective question left about Bamba is : will he get more than 1 year contract from anybody next year.

You look at Birch and his performances with Raptors and it gets very obvious why Clifford played him over Bamba.

He makes 35% of his 3's and was 0-4 in the first half. It could of easily been 2-4 or 3-4, he shot just wasn't falling. Nothing they did.

I think everyone can agree that Bamba can potentially have 30/15 or 30/20 games, but that still doesn't mean he's playing winning basketball. If he ever got stronger he could lead the league in rebounds and blocks.

I just thought the +/- was the end all stat. I guess it only applies to certain players.

It certainly isn't the end all stat but especially not when we're actively tanking. Harris started the game hot last game and didn't get to play anymore

I’m personally just content with seeing Bamba get consistent minutes and have a defined role on this team.

My stance on him really hasn’t changed much. I don’t see him ever becoming a impactful starter on a playoff team. I’m not sure I even see him being a impactful role player. Even outside of the injury concerns I just don’t think he’s a good basketball player.

However, as long as he’s on this roster he needs to be playing.
