Victory Cigar!!! BOS 107, HOU 97 (1-2)

[BostonCouchGM]

I've been very disappointed in Nesmith. He's seemingly regressed under Ime. I wonder if it's the sting of believing he earned more minutes or a starting role but still getting sporadic minutes or it's Ime. He's off and it's probably for the best that he and Pritchard are moved for the betterment of their respective careers to somewhere they can get more minutes and better coaching.

Schroeder as backup pg is going to be a nice luxury this year.

Richardson looks less impressive but serviceable.

I am curious how glued to the bench Kanter is? Will he get more minutes against teams with more size? You would think so. I guess a part of it is Grant looking so good that he is taking Kanter's minutes. Not a bad thing. I just hope we continue to use lineups of Grant + a center not a lineup where Grant is the center.

Kanter can't be pleased. Every time he comes here, he gets less minutes. Every time he plays for another team, he gets many more minutes.

Kanter loves it here.Isn't just about PT. It is about situation, life, a bunch more. He could have siugned many places for the minimum. He chose here for a reason.

Nobody was happy on the Knicks a couple of years ago. Totally different situation.
Kanter chose to come here. It's not like we promised him anything. He is our break-the-glass C behind Rob, Al, and Grant, and that should have been very clear to him from the day he signed.
