CELTICS HUSTLE!!!!!!!!!!

We're already missing Smart's playmaking and continuity with the starters.

His contributions in the Magic game were so worth it.

Can we drop the magic game already. Smart could easily have gotten hurt in the first few mins of this game.

Sure, if those two games were in any way analogous, but they're not.

Please go check what pretty EVERY other coach did in the second to last game.  And the issue is that smart got hurt.

I don't give an F what every other coach did, as their situations are all different. It didn't make any sense whatsoever to play any of our regular guys over the last two games, as there was literally no benefit to it and only risk. Amazing how people can bury their heads in the sand and put the blinders on all to absolve Brad of this clear mistake.

Um, Giannis played that game too.  Meant even less got them.  You can’t single out brad for being an idiot when he did what every other coach does.

must coaches suck that is why they get fired.

Morris impacting this game like Smart would be doing! Loving it!!

Mook seems to have magically flipped into pre-ASB Mook.

Now just teach Rozier how to time travel and we're good!

I HATE THESE EARLY STARTS

Morris bringing it!!

[Ogaju]

Someone give GH a kick in the pants.... we do not need kick out threes when you have a breakaway easy basket.

I HATE THESE EARLY STARTS

Early starts stink! No wine for me and I am sick on top of it!!

Tatum headed towards the locker room.

I still dont see him. I'm hoping he's riding a stationary bike off camera.

PACERS bring Sabonis off the bench..... now that is thinking out the box no one will accuse Brad Stevens of ever doing that.

Brad never thinks outside the box? What?

name one move outside the box.... dude could not even bench Hayward to start season.

Was starting Gerald Green against the Bulls 2 years ago "in-the-box" thinking?

moves you make when you have no choice do not count, that belongs to the Doc Rivers school of forced adjustments.

How was that a "forced" adjustment? Because we were playing poorly and had to make a change, therefore any change (no matter how out-of-the-box) is standard?

Do you only count adjustments if your team is already doing well?

[liam]

The Celtics are playing hard and together....

[Ogaju]

Mook seems to have magically flipped into pre-ASB Mook.

Now just teach Rozier how to time travel and we're good!

paging TIME LORD!!!

Reporters say that's what he's doing. Using the stationary bike.
