Why does IME insist on starting Marcus over Schroeder?

[SHAQATTACK]

I think there has to be a bit of competition between to such serious players .  If they and Ime can find a way to coexist, then it’s a huge win situation for Boston .

I like DS offensive aggressiveness and Smarts defensive aggression,  I think they can reach a happy coexistence.

we ll see how it unfolds in a few months .

Ok. back to old line up. Same result. In the hole.  I rest my case.

Schroeder is better defensively than Smart is offensively.

Smart  is not better than Havelicek.

If Smart is the true heart and soul of the team, he would suck it up and asked to be the 6th man.

I don't think it's strange to put Dennis into a sixth man role. We NEED someone to come off the bench and SCORE.

If you disagree with that, I dunno what to tell ya on that one.

As for Marcus; he's top in the league in defense. If we start with JB and JT, that oughta be enough firepower, easily.

It has nothing to do with Tatum and Brown being absolutely dreadful offensively so far, though, right?

Part of the reason they are dreadful is the lack of dribble penetration and playmaking without Schroder there.

After seeing that suggestion in the game thread;

That's not a Smart vs Schröder issue.

That's a Schröder vs Brown issue.

It's hard to properly express how bad this take is without the use of cursing, which of course the site does not allow.

I mean it doesn't really matter how many books I read, your take is still gonna be terrible.

And another comment that's hard to respond to because it adds 0 to the discussion.

Come on man.

Let me be clearer; if you say something other than "uh dis dumb", we can actually have, you know, a discussion.

Instead of just being lame to eachother.

Do you feel having Brown come off the bench is a wrong choice? Do you feel Schröder/Smart at the same time worked poorly the past few weeks?

Come on man, give us something to work with. Do better.

I will answer for him, YES bringing Brown off the bench is a really DUMB idea.
why the blank would we ever not start our all-star wing??  that is just nuts.  I don't even know why it is suggested.

Cool. Counterpoint: Ginobili made it work heaps fine, and the last few days, before JB was back, we did great. Pitting him against weaker opponents could be worth a shot?

_{.edit: ps, thanks. at least you put *some* effort into pointing at a flaw.}

Marcus is not a true point guard and he slows to ball and loses to much time. He is much better off the ball and insserting himself in moments that are not clutch. He is playing better, which we need, but for the team I think if he starts the chemistry will go back to has it was before.

My take.

Marcus is not a great table-setter. Schroder is worse.

well since Tatum played like cold cat dudu tonight, he should probably come off the bench as well.
Jaylen as 6th man, Tatum as 7th man....title here we come....

Seriously, there is no way we should even be debating not starting Jaylen.  I have seen some really iffy ideas on this site, but that would be top 10.
We played horrible as a team for the first 2/3 of the game tonight.  That isn't going to be fixed by having Jaylen Brown come off the bench.
