[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

In 25 minutes, Horford has 19/8/5. Just beautiful numbers and production. 

We'll really need that in the playoffs.

There is zero chance of this happening if you know who plays more than 15 mins a game lol

Jesus Christ, Brad, you have Hayward in there, so why not put Brown in there instead of freaking Morris as terrible as he's been??

[blink]

what a great save by Smart and what a DUMB play by Morris

TPS for all!

MORRIS! TATUM WAS WIDE OPEN!!!!!

I'm done with Morris. If Brad can't figure out that Jaylen > Morris now, then idk what to say.

The thing is Morris almost exclusively plays the small 4 for us now, which Jaylen can't play. If anything, Brown should be playing more guard minutes taking minutes away from Rozier.

but even if it isn't a Morris vs Brown thing, why is Brown playing 17 minutes?

Because Kyrie is out. There are 33 additional minutes to go around and Brad has inexplicably decided that Jaylen should get even less playing time, even though he also plays the guard position.

I tend to agree with the conspiracy theories that Morris has dirt on Brad/DA and that the Cs are trying to hide Jaylen from an AD trade by barely playing him rotation-level minutes. He was actually the 4th sub in tonight (after Hayward, Morris, and Theis) - it's nuts!

Tatum scoreless in the second half.

Doing his invisible man act.

[blink]

that was really lucky Morris didn't get that charge...
cmon morris find the OPEN man!

[Phantom255x]

Man what happened to Love. I'm used to him putting up like 25/10-type numbers against us lol.

[jpotter33]

Yeah, this is why Smart is the heart and the soul of our team. Twice in the last few minutes he's put his body on the line for the team. I really hope he retires a Celtic. I never grow tired of watching him play.

[SCeltic34]

Yay a win.  Seems too long since we had one.

Exactly, 33 more minutes available tonight, and Jaylen gets 17 min.
I mean I am glad we won, lots of guys played well, but it just makes no sense.

Smart wins game!

I think Jaylen is such a better player than Morris that even if he isnt a small ball 4 he's still a better option than Morris in place of Morris. Although in this particular game given that Cleveland plays big I get why Brad is going that direction. In many ways we are very lucky this game, because if Clevland could hit a shot we'd be in trouble.
