Games like this show you why you always try to build around your star bigman (not saying that we have one). JV is impacting the game on every level right now.
This may have been true, but I don't see that happening again in the future. The league figured him out pretty easily, all you have to do is bounce a breaking ball and it's a guaranteed swing.
It's the f***ing Celtics, if we're truly a competitive team then this should be an easy win and DD should be allowed to rest, whether it's because of the injury or he doesn't feel ready. If we lose it's not his fault.
Can you stop with this? The last time you called him soft you looked like a fool. If he's still feeling pain there's no reason for him to be playing against weak opponents and potentially aggravating the injury. DeRozan is the last guy you should question about competitiveness.
