I expected us to win in Boston, and we should've, but we can still go 4-5 in this brutal stretch. Hopefully our best defensive players return to the line-up from injury, and the other guys don't lose confidence despite the losing streek. Melo and JR seem to have reacquired their jumpshots, which bodes well for us going into the future. Harrelson is showing a lot of hustle and effort. I think he has earned his way back into the rotation. Shumpert in the starting line-up is the right move. Against SA, I don't think we started the first quarter flat and we actually did will in the third quarter.

Put Shumpert on Jennings and hopefully we can hold an opposing PG to subpar numbers for once. Jennings is definitely more of a shooter than an attacker, so I think Shumpert matches up favorably.
