Stevens... it's time to let Tatum and Brown get loose

[KGBirdBias]

Hayward isn't going to make a miraculous comeback this year. Sit Kyrie for the last 5 games. We need to quickly instill confidence in Brown and Tatum. Horford is the anchor if Broen and Tatum play like last year we are in the Finals.

Brown had earned the right to start. He's been a good soldier. Brown and Baynes in...Smart and Morris out.

Tatum and Brown are getting opportunities.

The issue is they just need to play better and make the most of their minutes.

I know Brown is coming off the bench and agree that I think he should probably be starting over Morris, but there must be a reason why Brad keeps sticking with Morris.

And I don't see how sitting our best player helps matters at all.

[RPGenerate]

Yep, we should sit our best player in the most important stretch of the season that could determine our playoff seeding. Makes sense.

[Donoghus]

This team is still figuring out its way thru some chemistry issues on the court. 

Doing something this drastic won't help matters at all. I also fail to see how benching Kyrie helps this team get ready for the playoffs.

[Csfan1984]

They need to play better with Irving not sit Irving. Start running a ten man rotation is what I suggest.

Irving, Smart, Morris, Tatum, Horford
Rozier, Brown, Hayward, Theis, Baynes.

No more Wanna, Semi, Yab or Williams
If Hayward is out put Semi in his spot. Play the top ten exclusively. Build chemistry.

Sitting Kyrie for the last 5 is pretty risky considering it could potentially cost us HCA (4th seed vs 5th seed)

[KGBirdBias]

The point of sitting Kyrie is to let the other guys feel like the man and not have the crutch of Kyrie saving them.

Pacers have a brutal schedule.

I wouldn't even play Kyrie or Horford tomorrow vs Philly. Do not give them any confidence and keeping those two out wouldnt give them anything on video to gameplan against.

We arent dropping past the 5th seed. Time to also start playing Williams.

Yeah, treating them like children has been part of the problem IMO

Let them loose? They can't even get out of their own way or put together any semblance of consistency. The term "letting them loose" is far too favorable a term for them and their inconsistent and underperforming asses. Let them loose on who? The neighborhood stray cat wouldn't even be scared of them if they were "let loose" on it, it'd probably laugh and then kick their asses and chase those two circus clowns up a tree and the local fire department would need to get called in to get those two idiots out of the tree It'd be a total waste of the local firefighters time. And what would they say? "Hey fellas, thanks for saving us, we were turned loose on that stray but got punked by it just like we do nightly on the court. Say, could you guys give us a ride to The Garden?" Firefighters reply: No, we'll collectively get you two losers an uber as far from New England as possible. thumb a ride from there to wherever, just don't come back here and (laughingly) don't get loosed on anything with a pulse.

A seemingly common concensus among Kyrie haters is that our young guys are spoiled 5 year-old brats who need to be coddled and pampered.

But remember the ECF!

Brown had earned the right to start.

Has he? https://streamable.com/cxzz5

But why expect them to buy into hard work and high effort when we can just hand them everything without them earning it?

Like I said before. I dare someone to point out what Jaylen, Jayson or Terry has added to their games ON A CONSISTENT BASIS since last year.

But remember the ECF!

The one that went to six games, right? Because there was definitely no 7th game. Nope, not at all. They must've canceled game seven or something, because it did not happen.

Rofl. I wish I could forget it just like that
