What the heck happened with Brown not playing?

It could be a number reasons.

But one thing's for sure, Celts have too many players of the same kind.

That will not happen again next season when the Celts trade for AD.

If anything with Kyrie out, there are a WHOLE lot more guard minutes to go around.
It makes zero sense.

Smart, Rozier, and Hayward, that's 3 guards right there.

The 4th guard usually ends up getting the fewest minutes.

Lol, Hayward doesn't play guard...I wouldn't mind if he did, but he doesn't.

Apparently that's what's happening.

Hayward came in with 4:33 left in the 4th.
He replaced Rozier.
Celts ended the game with Horford, Morris, Tatum, Hayward, and Smart.

well I admit, I don't know much about this team anymore.  maybe he is a guard now? lol

Its what happened this game, its not what happened  this season. He has literally played almost zero SG this year. It worked this game because the Cavaliers have almost zero guard play outside of Colin Sexton that can actually hurt Hayward. And you wnat to go bigger to counteract a bigger Cavs front court.

Tatum scoreless in the second half.

Doing his invisible man act.
Was that his fault though. The hottest player in the game, they went to him twice early, where he missed both on poor shot selection, and they never went to him again.

He went scoreless.

A rebound or tip, a hard cut, some more movement.

He fades in and out of games for stretches it's not just a one game thing it's a pattern.

Not going to be a Celtic problem next season.

Tatum's going to the Pels.

YEp

This season is turning out to be the season the Celts playing to win the Anthony Davis sweepstakes.

It's very clear this team has no shot at winning the championship this year.

This season's Celts team is consistently inconsistent.

This season Hayward has done a lot of playmaking when he comes off the bench.

Whether he's a SG or not with Boston, he handles the ball a lot.

Let's all dont forget that the Celtics were playing with a "must-win" mentality after dropping 4 straight.

Against the Cleveland Cavaliers of all teams. Post-Lebron era.

Cleveland is not bad of late. I thought we kept composure throughout which has been fleeting of late.

Happy with the win, but does any Brad Stevens adjustment include not freezing out Jaylen Brown? He played less than 18 minutes tonight.

Yeah, Clev played us pretty tough with Love being a complete no-show.  They aren't as bad as we wish they were.  Sexton looks for real at this point.  Or at least we couldn't keep him out of the lane.

Ya, but handling the ball is irrelevant. Its about who is guarding who. Hayward, who has been a step slow this year (understandably), has spent almost literally no time guarding anybody smaller than 6'7 this year. He played thirty minutes this game, he didn't take Jaylens minutes. It continues to be an issue of playing Rozier and Morris to much.

Not sure if you realized Jaylen only played 18 minutes. But yeah Morris and Rozier play way too much, especially Morris. Jaylen's minutes are insulting at this point, what's with his relationship with Brad?
