    It’s really obvious that RoCo and DJJ can’t both be out of the game.

    I didn't really want Melo back and every time I see him, I'm reminded of why. He has turned into a complete Iso machine. The offense just STOPS when he touches the ball.

    We are getting out play right there shooting 50 percent from the 3 and there controlling the boards.

    Looks like a typical Stotts team. We don't believe in cutters despite our athleticism.

    Stotts is already parking his wings in the corner.

    WHAT A FUCKING WASTE.

    Too many double teams leads to wide open totally uncontested 3s. A hot shooter can quickly put portland down by double digits.

    It’s just hard to have more than one defensive liability on the floor at the same time, and we have one playing 36 mpg and getting paid 30 million.

    Good reminder of why Boston would not play Kanter.

    This second unit plays zero defense. It’s a glimpse back to last season. This second unit won’t work. Period.
