[Who]

Haha, nice move and hook shot by Norris Cole. Nifty move.

[KeepRondo]

Stevens needs to find Olynyk more minutes.

[Jailan34]

Flop.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

I love how math and % goes right out the window once a guy hits ONE three....sensationalism much...... "uhm, I shot 6 for 20...but I hit a BIG 3 " calculated = you cost us 14 possessions...

[jpotter33]

Smart is so good on D.

[Who]

Sully dipped the shoulder. Fair call.

Use your ample rump big fella.

[Who]

Great high low pass by Olynyk. Easy layup for Sully.

[Nerf DPOY]

Cant watch the game..but what uniform numbers are Nelson, Crowder and Wright wearing?

#28,#99,#12 respectively.

[Jailan34]

Smart's shot selection may be my only problem with him. I love his defense and play making.

Nice floater, Kelly.  He keeps showing new things that he can do.

Nice floater, Kelly.  He keeps showing new things that he can do.

He's making a strong case for getting more minutes. He's been playing like our best player lately.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

So is Olynyk only playing 15 mins a game now? What is up with this 12 player roatation?

thats the trouble with having several mediocre redundant players...  They are all interchangeable and all average or less than average.

That bugs me about Stevens. The "everybody must play" "be fair to everyone" stuff.

Pick the guys that are most important to the team and it's future and prioritize them.

This is the way Mr. Rogers would coach

Or someone coaching a little league team.

This is what I think so often when I see how Stevens distributes minutes = little league coach.

So I looked at Butler's minutes distribution when he was coaching.

Since 09-10 until he left, he has always went 9 deep on players playing 10+ minutes, and has played his starters heavy.

I don't know why Brad is distributing minutes to a lot of players here, but this convinced me that this is more about the FO telling him to play everyone. I mean, his history coaching in college when it comes to giving minutes is night and day compare to what he's doing in Boston.

He's showcasing...

[SHAQATTACK]

Looks like the game plan doesn't necessarily include winning.

Yup, now he needs to show this confidence game in game out.
