well hes probably our future PG

I'm fine with that, so as long as we improve in other areas. Maybe someone will call us and make a move for Rondo, even though I doubt it.

Surprisingly good game. No one looked that bad out there. I don't hate rondo but when there's not a pass to make he's pretty useless. If they run a p&r and the roll is covered that play is pretty much dead. But I think he's ok for what this team has going on

Good. Very good, IMO. Considering it's the 1st game against a good team, I loved the fight and intensity they brought all game. Chemistry looks real good after 1 game.

I wasn't that impressed when we went out and got Wade but I feel like he has made a huge difference off the court and that may translate to the court. He is a good dude and a well respected leader, something this team needed.

If anybody can reign in Rondo and Butler to a less extent, it's Wade because he commands that respect.

Feed Taj inside. I'd like to see more Portis too. Niko had a nice game, but I don't think he should be playing more minutes than Taj. Fred has a ton of lineup options, that's for sure.

First game of the season. Chemistry for a team with this many fresh faces wont be there. But like I said, we did have good flow with MCW. The minute he came in for Rondo, the rest of the team had an idea where to be on both sides of the court. Now if we could have more shooting accuracy. Something about 3P% being higher than 2P% indicates a lot of panic shots on collapse.

Part of MCW helping a lot, has to deal with Boston's small backcourt. The next game against the pacers will be an entirely different story.

What I didn't like was how long Niko and Doug were on the court together. During that time Boston made their big run because our defense has been terrible!

Taj looks lean and good again. Also helps next to a power center, with good offensive spacing.

I wonder if the plan is to play the best lineup, or to showcase him and trade him. Either way, he took his off-season seriously you can see that. I expect a freak power dunk to be unleashed soon.

If there's a player to trade, it's Niko!

Portis is a better defender, provides much more hustle and can shoot the three as well.
Bobby maked Niko expandable in my eyes.

Taj also gained some weight. He was listed at 222 last season and 236 this season.

Wade was bouncing around out there like a kid against Boston. I hope they are mindful of his minutes to keep him somewhat fresh. That game was pretty damn entertaining. Nice start...

I think Niko played too long down the stretch. I know he's there for floor spacing, but he shouldn't be closing out games or playing that many extended minutes in a row. Fred keeps trying to fit him in that role and it's a bad idea, IMO.
