Kemba being out is good for the young guys.
Some of the Celtic losses, especially late in the 4th, is due to Kemba's penchant for taking "all in" shots.
I think it's best if the Celts preserve Kemba for the playoffs.
Such as?
Kemba has the tendency to launch 3-pointers, in crunch time, when the Celts really don't need it.
I've also noticed that Kemba makes more 3-pointers early in the qtr. than late in the qtr.
He's shooting 44% from 3pt in crunch time this year, which is higher than his season average of 39% and equal to what he shoots from 3pt in the 4th quarter overall.

With the Celts leading by 4, in regulation, why shoot a 3?
Maybe it's the decision making.
That shot and miss led to a Clipper fast break that cut the Celtic lead to 2 points with 1:37 left in the 4th.
Celts ended up losing that game in OT.
Kemba has this knack of going for "all in" shots in crunch time.
I think Kemba needs to learn that he's with the Celtics already, not the Hornets.
