Cool cover for sure! Lol at Smart being the only one without a basketball in his hands  :P
If Marcus wanted a ball I am sure he would simply steal all four of the other basketballs from his teammates. 😄

Super angry that Jaylen didn't get an all-star nod.
Me too. Jaylen outplayed everyone else who was picked except for Jimmy Butler. Wrongly overlooked.

Yup, lol.  But seriously it is poetic justice for a guy who doesn’t need to ball to make a BIG impact.

Congrats to Tatum on the ASG selection.  Well deserved!

Did Brad ever put those 5 together on the floor at least once?

Hasn't really had the chance unfortunately.

I think there are two things in there to really make C's fans feel like we are going in the right direction.

First, as Pop says, there very few two-way players in the NBA and we have two guys at age 23 and 21 that are pulling it off. We may not have a top 3 superstar, but I think having two of these guys gives us something equivalent for a long time. Defense has a cumulative effect.

Second, Walker is quoted as saying "They are two special players," Walker says, "and this is their team..."

This is exactly what we need from Walker, and it shows just how mature a guy he is.

Love the quote.  And I'm sure at the end of the game if it's needed, Walker won't be afraid to talk the last shot.  Hashtag Sam Jones.

It looks to me like all 5 have only been available for 12 of the 47 games.

Of the 12 games they've all been available, they've played together in 4 of them.

10/23/19 vs PHI, 3.5 minutes, -1
10/25/19 vs TOR, 1.7 minutes, +2
12/28/19 vs TOR, 6.4 minutes, +9
1/9/2020 vs PHI, 1.0 minutes, -4

Total, 4 games, 12.6 minutes, +6

Interesting that it has only been used against 2 teams, both of which are considered big.  But if history is any indicator, we'll see all 5 together on Saturday vs Philly.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I think it has more to do with Brad wanting a center out there (which usually is Kanter or Theis).

Plus Smart usually comes off the bench when the team is 100% healthy.

I do think we'll see more of those 5 playing together in the future, and playoffs. I think Brad will use it but then rotate Kanter and Smart late in games depending on what the situation calls for (like needing to score, or grab a rebound, or defense, etc.)

No doubt Kemba, Brown, Hayward and Tatum are our Big 4.

That is so beautiful.

EDIT - my eyes tell me that Jayson looks closer to 6'9" than 6'8".....

Well, we have an explanation why Jaylen makes some stupid plays on defense....he's prone to space out. Lol.
