Rockets are 7-4 since they started to play Garrison Mathews. Shame we couldn’t give him a roster spot that wasn’t a two way deal

I doesn’t matter. IME won’t play him here. No player development at all for this coach.

Gotta try an pump up those win numbers dont ya know.

We have like at peast 1 more win on the season because of playing the vets instead of youth.

I doubt we would have the glowing record we have right now if we played young guys 25-30 mins a game.

yeah he only turned Grant Williams from a guy that 90% of celtics fans wanted off the team to a 50/40/90 guy in less than 1/4 of a season but you're right, he doesn't know how to develop players :roll:

Isn't this the non-celtics thread, though?

KD might score 80+ w/ basically everyone out except Griffin, Mills, Claxton, and Cam Thomas.

Nick Nurse could have other plans though.

I'm relieved Curry isn't going to break the record at our expense on Friday.

Durant has a strong triple double going. And somehow the Nets are dominating the 4th quarter so far.

And much of the team had him breathe in their faces.

Steve Nash is going to run Durant into the ground for a win against the Raptors.

Golden State is a better passing team than Rick Adelman's Sacramento teams, and the Kings were very, very good.

No one dominates the ball. But it's not just the passing. They don't stop moving until they find an opening. Everyone cuts into open spaces. Fun to watch.

So sad and yet so true. we did have him, could have kept him, If Ime really wanted him, he could have had him. Did he even play in preseason?? G Mathews was in that same revolving door that Max Struss and D Bane was in.. "thanks for showing up" now get out!!

I would love to see Ainge get another "treasure chest" of draft picks.. and see what he does this time..
