He was a very disruptive player in his short minutes.Flew around the court and and made several diving dramatic plays.
One of my favorite plays of the game was a Brown block,he then pushed the ball up court passed to a cutting wide open Larkin who drove the  ball into paint, It looked like a layup, when he zipped a pass to wide open Rozier in corner for a uncontested three.  Rozier had enough time for a 5 course meal and proceeded with a beautiful three-all net
Unselfish and smart because behind him although clearly beaten players were closing fast from behind with length.

He has made some contributions in this series. I really like Larkin but he was a terrible fit in the Milwaukee series.

He needs to stick to TJ McConnell. That guy is killing us.

I couldn't believe Simmons had him in a mismatch gave up the ball and didn't call for it back -at the foul line

I can do without him in crunch time. Philly abused him.

That's what I thought, but Stevens puts Larkin on Redick and JB on McConnell when he's out there, can't figure out why, unless he is worried that covering Redick will more likely trigger hammy relapse.

larkin is what, the 4th pg on the celtics? he is clearly not a superior nba player and was on the team only for emergencies, break the glass, sort of moments.

he has been put in high pressure, important moments on a playoff team going to the ECF. thus far, he has exceeded expectations for me. i am happy that he has contributed as much as he has.

During the Bucks series I was always annoyed when Larkin came in b/c he was a complete liability.  It didn't help that he helped contribute like 4 straight turnovers at mid court when he got his first playoff experience.

But in this Sixers series he does have some value.. in particular expending speed and energy guarding Riddick.  I like his hustle, but he shouldn't be on the court in the last 8 minutes of the game.
