advantage of being brought along by celtics

Ahhh yes, the old sports cliches are back.

Rozier and Brown aren't playing big minutes because they aren't good.

I'm not sure how you define "good," but to me, it's inaccurate to say "they aren't good." They're not high-impact players (at this point, anyway), but you seem to be implying that they're barely good enough to see any game action, if that, and I think that's an inaccurate assessment. They clearly have some talent.

Rookies with a few exceptions aren't good. Rozier hasn't shown anything that suggests he's good.

They may turn into good players some day, but right now they are poor players on a good team. That's why they aren't playing.

Go back to Philly. No one on your team save for Embiid would be receiving minutes on the Celtics right now as much as Brown.

Agree with your point. Disagree with your example. I would put minutes for Saric and Covington above Brown right now in addition to Embiid.

You're seriously using dead players to argue that you're currently good at developing guys?

What happened in the 60s has nothing to do with Jaylen Brown getting a jumper.

Those players are not dead and all of them did not play in the 60's.  This shows that your knowledge of the game is lacking.  I am bringing this up because you claimed that the Spurs have a better system, I demonstrated otherwise and now your comments have demonstrated that you really do not know NBA history.   At least, demonstrate some knowledge if you're going to try to get under people's skin.    All your demonstrating here is that you like to make snarky comments but are not that good at it and you have no knowledge of the NBA's history.

Confidence is taught. As is a lack of confidence. It is taught by your experiences.

Maybe it sinks in. Perhaps it is dormant in some players. Bradley took a leap under Doc, but under Stevens he was given the opportunity to shatter ceilings on offense. Brad's good at bringing out the best in players. Maybe it's a cliche, but Stevens puts players in position to succeed.

Young must have taken this leap in the practice gym, then he lucked out with the next man up rule. He was ready.

The speed of this rebuild has been incredible.

Basketball is more about repetition and gelling than improvising.

Bird never had deer eyes in the headlight. It's got to do with players leaving college too early. I think it is a bit bizarre and has cheapened the quality of the game. And the refs are still awful. But the Celtics are doing very well. Big national t.v. game tonight to wrap it up. Guys can heal nagging injuries. The trade deadline. All good stuff. I probably won't watch the all-star game. I never got into that. Talk about boring.
