I like Brendan Haywood on NBA TV. He's one of the better past NBA player commentators.

I just looked at Avery Bradley's stat line.  Ouch.  7.1 ppg on 35% shooting, 26% from 3, 1.9 rebs, 1.6 assists.  Apparently, that was a great trade.

I think the Celtics need to realize they could lose this game.

JUST GO UP WITH THE FREAKING BALL UNDER THE BASKET, HORFORD!

I don't care how wide open that three was - you were right under the basket and could've easily put it up!

We're literally passing up layups for three pointers at this point.

I don't care what the current environment is for the NBA - that's a bad play. Just take the easier layup.

Gotta at least get in the paint to get to the line. All we do is chuck 3's.

How the hell do you miss that blatant of a moving screen on Brown? Joke refs.

Jaylen Brown is just a punching bag out there. He cannot get a call to save his life.

Most of the 3s in the first half were the correct shots to take.  This half they look lazy and are just chucking them up without looking for better shots.

Rozier and Morris are anti-ball movement.

Two main differences:
1) Morris makes his shots;
2) Morris also contributes elsewhere, too (defensively).

That's my main problem with Rozier - he's pretty much useless outside of an occasional iso scorer due to his lack of BBIQ and playmaking/defensive abilities.

EDIT: I guess he is a good guard rebounder, but I seriously do struggle to identify any other strength of his from a skills standpoint.

I'm most disappointed with Rozier's lack of progression in pick and roll play.  He has the speed and ballhandling to do more, but his poor court vision and subpar passing skills really hurt him.  He can't "see" how plays are going to develop.

I hope as the season progresses they move Rozier primarily off the ball.  Smart or Hayward should be handling it more often if Irving isn't on the floor.  Tatum could use more PnR reps too.  All would be preferred over Rozier.
At this point Jaylen Brown has shown better passing skills this year than Rozier. Jaylen is starting to make a bunch great passing decisions when shut off inside. Rozier, has just been iso heavy awful this year. Can't think of one game he played well in.

Terrible showing in this half.

Hate pairing Irving and Rozier in the backcourt.
