Horford played 40 minutes and got killed in the pick and roll. That’s trouble and on the coach. Kornet and houser are useless. Explain to me why we don’t use other guys. Why is it that every other team uses different lineups except the Celtics? You had all year to try stuff. They weren’t threatened during the season. If they lose he has to go. Such a terrible coach
It's upsetting. At this point, it is obvious Joe puts an emphasis only on offense and none on defense. And unfortunately, those offensive guys (Hauser and Luke) aren't even giving you anything on that end.
Some guys are made to eat quality minutes during the season, while other guys can better shine during the postseason. We have a whole bench full of hard-nosed defenders (Oshae, Springer, Tillman, Queta). We even have an edgier version of Hauser (Svi).
I get it, I'm not saying any of these guys are going to come in and definitely change the game for the Celtics, but to keep putting the same guys out there - guys that are only 8th and 9th on your regular depth chart anyway - just doesn't make any sense. For the love of god, just try Oshae at the 5 against a perimeter big in Turner or have Springer lock down on D for 3-4 minutes.
