I normally don't listen with sound, but did tonight. The Sacramento fans sounded pretty loud. I'm not a huge believer in their team, but I'm glad they finally have something to cheer for.

We've played so many close games this year. It's been fun, but feels like everything is just evening out. Early in the season everything was going our way, now we are getting some tough bounces.
 
meh 3 point shooting night, and still only lost by single digit. This team is not at all bad enough to convince Ainge to sell vets just to sell. I am not sold myself that he should be a buyer either, but it wouldn't surprise me, if he is, given the Wolves pick is looking pretty great for us, and a play in first round experience,w/ potential to play spoiler etc. is a strong draw.

I do believe Mike will not play tomorrow on B2B, Sexton will start and NAW will play near 30 min. Hope this is the reason why he did not play today.

You do realize that would be an idiotic reason not play him last night?

What will make Ainge want to sell vets is seeing Hardy not focus on developing the younger guys.

NAW isn't a 3rd pg. He is simply a wing and our best defensive wing that fits extremely well with Sexton and Beasley.

That is your opinion. But obviously by watching how and when he is/was used hardy thinks he is a point guard.

We need to start resting dudes. Mike should not play tomorrow but I bet he does. We need some dnp recovery if we aren’t trading dudes.

Minny needs to lose tomorrow… would be very helpful.

Mike especially shouldnt play tomorrow to allow NAW to get good run. He might be our point guard of the future. Dude was balling out while we were dealing with injuries.

Vanderbilt does some really nice things, but man. It's difficult because he can't play with Kessler for obvious reasons on offense, which means he has to be paired with a floor spacing big. And when that big is Kelly Olynyk, it's an absolute defensive disaster.

I just don't think he works as a starter on this particular team.

Agreed. Kessler should have been starting a long time ago. Its really hard to earn a starting job without someone getting hurt once rotations are set. Coaches are extremely rigid with rotations, lineups, and substitution patterns.

if you think Hardy has the keys to the castle I think you are wrong. He is using who he has, many things regarding minutes are salary based, not much else, which is GM directed

Hardy 100% has the keys to the castle. To think otherwise is laughable.

Hardy is promising young coach and his future is bright.
But even Hardy needs to pay his learning moneys to become better coach.
Even Pope Popovich has been young basketball coach once and look at him now.
Hardy will be very good or really good coach some day into future but it won't happen immeaditely.
