Start Rozier

[celtics4ever33]

Why can't he get an opportunity like the rest of these clowns? I mean clowns in the nicest way.

The lineup has been tinkered with

Hayward is obviously not working out right now. He needs to not play lots of minutes yet.

Start Rozier with Irving. I think it can definitely work. If it doesnt , it doesnt.

Tatum, Brown have all looked lethargic in one way or another this year.

Smart has been less than what he could be. 50 million for this?  His defense has been mediocre at best. Dont believe me? Look at the stats.

Rozier is a good starter. We already have evidence of this.

I'd be game for this. I do think the team might play better with Kyrie off the bench.

I kinda wish Kyrie would get a short term injury and be out for 8-12 games in order to let Rozier start. Give this theory a test run.

Unfortunately, Kyrie would never re-sign here if he was made to be the 6th man. His ego wouldn't be able to handle that. So I don't think the coach can do this (for more than a few games) even if he wanted to.

Kyrie being a 6th is insane. You really do not believe that, although why not start him with Rozier. That is a good back court.

Ah sorry, I misread and missed the Kyrie + Rozier start together line. My mistake.

Not wild about them together. Very small on defense & rebounding wise. Both guys need to the dribble the ball a lot to be effective. I'd rather test them out in various lineups later in games than use them from the outset as a starting duo.

Kyrie as 6th man = sorta like a rich man's Ben Gordon.

Let him come in. Be uber-aggressive. Be selfish. Shoot at will. Score big. Terrify opposing teams who will have nightmares trying to matchup against him with their 2nd unit guards and big men (help defenders).

Yeah, I'd like to see that. I think that could work very well. Never happen though.

I will say this, Rozier plays better as a starter. His attempts at heroics taper off.

I feel like it could lead to us being bullied by bigger back-courts, and it would hurt Brad’s cherished switchability, but at this stage I’m down for anything

Kyrie off the bench would be like Fitch or Jones asking McHale to come off the bench...LOL geez, how foolish....but wait a second....

We're wishing injury on our own players now?

Yeah. Might be time to take an extended break from these parts.

No it wouldn’t, because we have no Bird nor Parish. They’re completely incomparable.
