Celtics (19-18) at Rockets (11-25) Game #38 3/14/21

[Scottiej23]

Current line-up on the floor for Boston, worst in the NBA?

No, sub out Pritchard for Waters.

No contest

Houston looks pretty bad....

Good to see PP and Nesmith making it rain

Wish we could trade grant williams for a 7th rounder

[slamtheking]

everyone's just pouring it in tonight

[blink]

If not, why isn't he playing 25-30 min a game?

Brad keeps saying it’s health related, assuming hip?

but does he look like he is having issues at all right now physically?  to me he looks 110%
maybe it helps just to lower expectations I guess if it is still nagging.

That is some sweet rain!

Yeah bit of a weird game to make that comment, especially since this Rockets lineup outside of KPJ, Oladipo, and Tate are basically G-League players.

Love Tacko....but tonight he is making it clear, he is not an NBA caliber player.

I love when a player catches it in the paint and see Tacko and just does a double take!

Good to see us pull away.

Hopefully, Nesmith gets minutes to close the game.

Brad hates Nesmith so much that Kemba, Smart, and Carson are all in over him in a 30+ pt game

Brad’s rotations are one of my main gripes.

Nesmith was playing well in the few minutes he received, constantly hustling, playing well on defense, not forcing anything on offense, and suddenly he’s in the dog house for the last handful of games... it’s strange.

I think he’s had hip problems every year he’s been in the league. Not sure if it some sort of chronic thing they have to manage.

So is Timelord an 18/13/3 guy if he gets 25 min a game?

If he plays Oladipo And The D-Leaguers every night, for sure.

well I would hope for more than that if he played this Rockets team.
But I am serious.  Is Timelord having the breakout season we wanted, but just isn't getting the minutes?
