1.  I don’t love Brad Stevens’ allotment of minutes and substitution patterns.  He doesn’t tend to ride the hot hand and stays pretty consistent with the minutes.  I don’t think he has Tatum, Brown and Kemba on the floor together enough.

2.  Kemba shows flashes but he is a shadow of himself right now, shooting horribly and not 100%, not even close I fear.  It is heartbreaking.

3.  These recent games show how valuable Marcus Smart is.

4.  The offense is really stagnant much of the time and the number of 3s that Grant Williams and Theis take especially early frustrating.

5.  Robert Williams is frustrating but I think he needs to play more, super athletic and really our only post defender against true big men.  i like Theis and he can be effective at times but not for a whole game and Grant Williams is an excellent defender but too small.  I have been disappointed in Thompson’s D and defensive rebounding.

6. Teague is cuttable. I like Pritchard though.

Brad seems to be struggling with the substitution patterns and minute allocations with this team, too many similar players.  But who knows how much better this group would be if Kemba were Kemba?
