He almost fooled us. There is a reason he can not stick with one team. We're seeing it now! ATTITUDE he talks it but doesn't come near walking it.
It's time to severely shorten the lineup and play with different combo's.
Horford
Baynes
Brown
Smart
Irving
Semi as the backup to Horford at PF.
Give it a rest with "Scary Terry" he's out of control and gunning for a contract. Play Wannamaker. Keep trying to work with Hayward, we have little choice.
ALSO: gauge how this team performs with Kyrie on the bench. Yesterday they made headway in the 4th with him sitting on his ass on the bench.
I would love to see that starting 5. Go with your 4 best defensive players and Kyrie.
See if they can restore the team's defensive focus.
that is the only way to hope for a title. The Celtics need to stop worrying about their offense...
When Kyrie is in then the whole team should go semi-rogue on offense, with lots of Horford Kyrie stuff. When Kyrie is out they can play the 5-man share the ball approach.
But, overall, give up attachment to offense results and make defense the thing that really matters.
ps: the league changes in the rules has had something to do with the Celtics being a little depressed on defense...but have to play through that.
EDIT: Doesn't bother me about Mook and his shots....without his early season hot streak we'd have fewer wins than we do now...of course he should adjust and be a bit selective during this slump...
