Celtics (5-3) at Heat (3-3) Game #9 1/6/21

Seriously, can anyone realistically explain why Edwards is in? What's the logic there?

Brad is trying to get fired so he can take the rest of this COVID season off and go back to college next year.

Bench playing great. It’s almost like having a playmaker and spacing is important.

Let’s see how brad coaches us to a loss

Hate to say it, but in this matchup over the last year, the better coach is on the Miami Heat.

Did Carson just let that bounce out of bounds?

[Neurotic Guy]

PP and TimeLord have oddly good chemistry for having had relatively no time to play together.

So fun to watch them play together.  More.

[Indocelts]

We get into the offense soooooooo much quicker with Pritchard on the floor instead of Smart. If Pritchard does nothing except that he should play.

Agree. Looks more fluid with PP and he finds open man at the basket.
Plus by not playing Smart we would avoid 3-5 points dumb mistakes that he usually does every game.

Gotta love Brad mindboggling decision to leave this lineup there. This game should have literally been over at half time, but Brad put out the clown brigade and the Heat went on a run. Spoelstra is not going to let you get away with this amateurish nonsense!

I really hope we can find an alternative to Brad sometime, because I’m incredibly suspect of his ability to lead us to a banner

As am I.  He has always been weak with pro players but at least used to be good strategically sometimes. Now he isn't even that.
Not sure the guy knows what to do with talent - his niche is the hustling, underdog team that overachieves. Don't see a banner in him.

Pritchard is showing himself to be our best PG.  better than Teague and better than Smart at running an offense.  already making it difficult for anyone to make the case that he shouldn't be starting in place of either Theis or Thompson right now

Pritchard’s shot is off, but him continuing to shoot is good for our offence.

Yeah, his three is off but he really makes the offense run.

PP and TimeLord have oddly good chemistry for having had relatively no time to play together.

Agree, but any good point guard should be able to make Timelord look good.

Truth. Any way to find out what % of his ally oops have come from PP? How are the other handlers not able to set him up so well??? I feel like when they play together it’s a guarantee you’ll see at least 1 per 2 minutes they’re one the floor together.

Celts need to finish with this unit (TT Gwill Tatum Brown PP)

Otherwise team will lose

Get ready for Butler taking 10 FT in the last Q

Yeah, he was scheming up a great offence and tough tough defence with those scrappy teams early on. Not sure where some of those nice offensive schemes have gone
