I get the concerns about the offense, at the same time... They're getting a shitload of open shots. Grant and Hauser have both missed two wide open threes a piece. White has missed at least one open three. All of those guys going cold at once sucks, but it happens.

They need more firepower. If Brown's shot isn't falling, the gameplan is for Tatum to wear all their finest defenders. I am not concerned about defense once the playoffs start. I am deeply concerned that they don't have the ancillary shotmakers to make opposing teams pay.

I don't really get it, tbh. Browns a 25 point a game scorer, he's pretty consistently great. Their problem this last stretch is that EVERYONE went cold at once, not just Brown. I think Brogdon is a pretty huge upgrade over what they had last year, and they're still working him in. Their offense was historically great absent this last stretch.

I'm open to hearing more I guess. I'm not sure how they can really add more firepower though.

No debate here about any of those attributes. I've just seen enough of "washed" wings who come into the playoffs and all of a sudden rediscover their defense. But you almost never see good shooters instantly become much better in the playoffs. In fact, its quite the contrary as everyone has a defender inside their chest cavity. Who besides Tatum and Brown can get their shot when that's happening? Brogdon maybe. Not Smart and not White.

Yeah... but I think very few teams have more than even one of those guys! The Bucks are the best team in the league and they only have Giannis and Middleton! The Suns have really only got two of those guys. The Warriors? Curry and Thompsom and maybe Poole?

I believe both of those teams have more dependable scorers down their rotation than Boston. At this point, Hauser needs to be considered an illusion. White's early season too. Do you really want this team's fortunes to depend on one of those guys or Smart getting hot? IMO, they need to do the Wu Tang strategy and diversify their potfolio.

Wu Tang are financial advisors? Can they advise on a 401K rollover?

If you're a Wolves fan you must be really happy you gave up 4 first round picks for Gobert and you play better when he's on the bench.

White's playing pretty well tonight despite the three point struggles!

Horford, Smart, and Grant Williams are eight for 16 from three. Everybody else is 0 for 17 from three.
