How do people feel about Crowder now? Is he still pouting or was he just in a small slump?

He is still getting eaten up on defense

[celticslove]

did someone cheer for otto porter during the intro?lol

Zeller and James Young with mysterious injuries and ilnnesses.

The conspiracy theorist in me says there is a trade in the works.

Sounds like he is hitting up Dallas for Bogut

Zeller and Young isn't bad for a player you don't want anymore....

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm sorry, but Abby Chin is just brutal.  She might be the worst sideline/postgame reporter they've had in years.  Constantly stumbling over her words and asking Brad awkward and strangely worded questions.  It's actually uncomfortable to watch sometime.

That's why she has not moved on to better jobs ...I never wanted to post it myself ...buttttt since YOU brought it up.

Great d by Jerebko

Are we in the early winey part of the game thread?

Not enough wine apparently.  Personally I need to drink heavily to read these threads.  Got a good Cab open.

[SCeltic34]

I know Stevens is a great coach and blah, blah, blah but starting Mickey is ridiculous, and I say that as someone who wishes Mickey would get some minutes.  You put your best five guys on the court and KO is vastly better than Mickey.  Smart people do the dumbest things trying to demonstrate how "smart" they are.

It reminds me of a game last year when Brad needed to sub and instead of putting in Turner, he sent in RJ and he immediately gave up a wide open three.  Brad got upset and I'm thinking "Why did you put him in to begin with?"

Mike

We could have stuck with a 3 man big rotation between Jerebko, KO, and Horford.  But I'm guessing because it's the 2nd night of a back to back, he wanted another player to help eat up minutes. 

Maybe Brad thought he could get away with it.  Hide his weak player in Mickey in the starting lineup, similar to how Doc Rivers started Scalabrine after KG went down.  We all knew Scal wasn't anywhere near a starting caliber player.

Well she was talking about the new injuries, they've been injured (well, sick in Jerebko's case) for a while

[Chief]

Kelly, you buffoon.  Marcus is in the post and you bring the 7 footer guarding you down there.

[esel1000]

Remember the days when people thought Mickey was the 2nd coming?
