That is such a fucking putrid call, I can't even begin. Seriously, that's as bad as it gets. Unbelievable.

3 home losses in a row means something needs fixed. They played well the 2nd half of this game.

But they need all their guys healthy and play smart, engaged basketball for full games.
Agreed, but this happens to even the best teams every year, more than once. I'm not worried about a 3 game losing streak after a long west coast trip in the middle of December

So Rob didn't magically fix the defense. CJM has some work to do to earn that extension.
I think if Smart had played tonight Haliburton would not have quite as big a night but who knows. Tough stretch for Boston but if they are going to underperform December is not a bad time to do it.

One Lakers choke job away from 6 straight L’s. Never would have guessed it. This team is pure trash right now.

Maybe so, but Christmas Day against the Bucks will be big-boy time.

You know where I stand. White is a lot to give up and its not clear that stapling any C's draft assets to him will get it done. But I will be shocked if they don't even have a conversation.
If this team isn’t going to commit to playing defense, might as well get the better scorer/shooter.

I will say they haven’t had a full squad in a bunch of these iffy games and are trying to work TL back in. But there’s a lot of shit to figure out right now. They are stuck in “we can just flip the switch whenever” mode and it’s not flying against good teams or bad teams that are big game hunting.

I’m going to play sports psychologist here and suggest that the Dubs ruined their mojo. They need to find a way to get it back.

Agreed. They were stomping teams when White was on his hot streak but he's just so inconsistent.

Stevens is seeing what we are and I suspect the C's always knew the first ~30 games were a bit illusory. That said, given how the C's operate, they probably have someone else entirely lined up for a trade and we have no clue. But I will be shocked if they don't get one more piece.

There are scenarios where they can get more offense without giving up too much defensively but they are likely going to have to make a tough choice. There aren't any easy ones left unfortunately.
