The Celtics are short handed, exhausted and in need of shooting to spread the floor and this guy can't sniff the floor. If Carsen Edwards can get in and hoist up a couple of shots why can't Nesmith. I'm not saying he's going to solve our problems but why does Miami play Hero all of last year and this kid can't even sniff the floor? Waters is playing more this year than Nesmith. Tacko took 3 more shots than Nesmith did last game. Please point out if I am missing something here.

so Theis can take open three pointers to complete a comeback from a huge deficit. This team has no clue how to use the players on the roster. Things do not improve and the Jayswalk.

Even playing him in situations were you need to space the floor makes sense but to just freeze him out makes no sense. He's a lotto pick.

Danny's had three lotto picks that just never got time: Young, Romeo and now Nesmith.

As Keith Smith pointed out, Jaylen on a bum knee played 36 minutes on the 2nd night of a back to back and Tatum played 41. Brad must feel like he's the 2nd coming of James Young to not get him minutes. And this was on a night when Pritchard - who they're forced to depend on for scoring gets 2 points in 29 minutes.

Yeah, just take the loss and play the young guys. The schedule is not going to get easier.

If your team is going to contend everyone on the roster needs to be playable. No room for projects and unplayable guys. That's just a fact. You're going to run Tatum and Brown into the ground in games you lose anyway and not develop the end of the bench guys. We didn't go to the finals last year because we didn't have enough playable guys and it looks the same this year. Get off you ass Danny.

Which as you say, brings us back to the general manager. I think it may be time for some new ideas in that position.

It would probably be best if we all just stopped asking "Why?" when it comes to anything about this team. Why does Danny do what he does? Why does Brad do what he does? Why do the players play like garbage half the time? Why is this team injured so often?

Why? No one knows.

He knows what he’s doing  Why do the players play like garbage half the time? Most are g leaguers Why is this team injured so often? Every team deals with injuries

Why? No one knows.

It is odd how Brad either trusts rookies absolutely (Tatum, Pritchard) or not at all (R Williams, Rozier, Nesmith, even Brown to an extent).

Odd

Because he can’t defend a chair without fouling it.

This is not complicated.

The other question is.  How did Danny miss on Bey?

The guy is automatic at the very least on open 3s

Nesmith is not at the moment.  Also foul prone

Man Bey looks good. Celts could have really used him on the team. Then Celts dont have to try to overpay for Barnes etc
