Come on Brad....

As soon as I saw Marcus Morris starting, I new we were in trouble.  Drummond had his way with Horford tonight.  Please stop this obsession with starting Morris. 
I do not know what else to say.  Very frustrated!!

Morris doesn’t fit this team other than a scorer off the bench.

Couldn't agree more. The obsession with switchable small ball is one of my few frustrations. Morris does not play to his height at all.

Start Baynes.

Morris has his nights to start. For example, when we play Cleveland and they start IT, Smith, Crowder, Lebron, and Love, he is an ideal person to start at the 4.

On the other hand, nights like tonight are exactly when you start someone like Baynes, and that's supposedly what Brad wants to do with his fluid starting five. No idea what Brad was thinking. He's had some real head-scratching decisions with his rotation this season.

The above tweet was meant to give props to Marcus smart and Celtics lineups but it indirectly throws shade on Marcus Morris and proves my point completely.

Stop trotting out that combo.

Well, we knew before the season started that Morris is not a full time PF. Brad S seems to still be figuring this one out. Knowing him, it might take a while.

In his defense, I've never seen Brad wear finger-friendly mittens during a post-game interview.

I'm sure there's a story there I'm not aware of.

I'm trying to bond with you over strong dislike for other people (Brad, Kyrie).  Here is an advanced TP for what I hope will be a long-lasting friendship.

He's not even a part time power forward. He's an off the bench spark plug shooting guard in a power forward's body.

I'm not sure how many giant leads that starting combo has to cough up before we revert back to the lineup that gave us the league's best defense.

I couldn't care less if we we have to square peg round hole horford into defending Stanley Johnson.

Make the opposition adjust to us, not the other way round.

I don't like Morris starting either because we aren't setting a inside physical tone as when Baynes starts.

The problem is Stevens is trying to get a mismatch with Horford because bigs don't like to come out that far. I like Baynes at C and Horford at PF...his natural position.

Baynes and Theis scored 18 points and had 8 rebounds in 23 minutes.
They made 7 out of 7 shots.
So of course we go small in the fourth quarter.
Did Doc Rivers come back to coach the Celtics?
