Deep bench made up for the past two losses somehow. They made me smile. Thank you.

Great basketball by the 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Not even a question for me. Springer stays next year.

Yes. But still holding out hope they let him play-make a bit at the 2/3.

That will happen in due time.

Walsh has the luxury of time because this is not an old team.

Someone a few weeks back when discussing how Springer is limited offensively, mentioned he can't make pocket passes out of the PnR.

Well, he just did.

Nice read, and dish to Queta for the dunk.

Solid game tonight on both ends of the floor for Springer.

I like Springer, the player, but his contract is a different story.

Next season Springer will be 4m x 1.50 or 1.75m.

That's 6m or 7m, depending on how much over the cap the Cs are.

Hard to justify paying that much money to a 14th man.

Springer has the potential to be a very good player.

It's his contract that will become a problem.

If he's a 2m guy, I definitely want to keep him.

He's going to be better than Thybulle.

Yeah, we get it. You've said the same thing like 20x over the past couple days, in various threads.

Yeah, we get it. You've said the same thing like 12x over the past couple days, in various threads.

But I'm still nowhere close to how many times Joe gets blamed for every Celtic loss, right? :lol:
