    We need cut 10 to 12 points by the 4th to give us a chance. We need take the corners by staying out on them to take that option away from them. But see what adjustment Stotts comes up with. But I am not holding my breath though.

    I think we might unfortunately get a heavy does of Wenyen, Nas and Ant in the second half of the fourth quarter. I hope I'm wrong though.

    We’ll be up 4-5 points at end of third. Boston won’t know what hit them.

    Stotts gonna Stotts.

    When will we stop being surprised by the porous and unacceptable results?

    Almost 10 years as a coach. Completely unheard of in the NBA with no championship or even a finals appearance for a team

    Dame has played fine other than his shot is off. He's not the only one. Only Nurk is hitting shots consistently. It happens. It's not the defense either. Boston couldn't hit the broadside last game, today they can't miss, even on many contested shots. Dame will get his shot back. This always happens when he returns from time off. We've gotten plenty of good, open looks. Just not falling. Refs need to be more consistent too. Not saying we haven't fouled, because we have, but Boston is getting away with a lot of body.

    I criticize Stotts as much as anyone. Not sure how you blame him here. CJ and Dame have been non existent. Rotations were fine aside from Whiteside coming in too early, Stotts didn’t really have a choice though.

    I like how Dame is taking the challenge of guarding Tatum.

    “Dame has played fine other than not doing the thing we need him to do the most”
