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.

If only Brad didn't play Hayward the 1st game last season we would've won the whole thing last year!!! ::)

PACERS bring Sabonis off the bench..... now that is thinking out the box no one will accuse Brad Stevens of ever dping that.
He's been a bench player for his entire Indiana career..?

He is probably their best player not named Oladipo.
I think they do it so they can keep their athleticism and defence with Turner next to Thad, then bring Sabonis off the bench and use him to bludgeon teams.

What if Smart had been hurt in game 80 instead of game 81? He should have sat that one, too. Or game 79? Should have sat there. And obviously game 78.

Hell, he should have sat all year to make sure he stayed healthy. I'm sure he would have LOVED that
Not only that, but why are any of these guys practicing?!?  Sit them down or else they might get hurt.

lol Liam..... I agree with JPotter though.... knowing the way Smart plays I sit him in that inconsequential game.

Rozier handling the ball wastes Hayward’s strengths.

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

TRADE IDEA:

Get Sabonis so we don't have to play against him anymore.

100%. At least the games there's a chance at a win, practice has no benefit period

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.

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