I've been a Brad defender.
But, we came out so good in the last game, WHY DIDN'T WE START WITH THE SAME 5???

  • Let's Go Celtics!
It starts right from the beginning. Starting Fournier when he's clearly not ready to play NBA basketball. He makes numerous defensive mistakes, throwing off their system, and is a black hole on offense. Everything snowballs from there. Brad does this all the time. He refuses to concede that 'playing hopeless players back into game shape' is not possible against well-coached NBA teams. Once the system breaks down because of a faulty cog it all falls apart. And we don't have the mental strength to put it back together.

This is faulty logic. Sitting him is not going to get him up to speed, especially since the team isn't practicing all that much due to the schedule. You have to play him because we're really going to need to Fournier down the stretch.

Had to shoehorn a disgruntled Marcus Smart in there!

What a letdown really. Did they feel overly good about themselves after the Charlotte win and felt they could just cruise by the Spurs?

Get it within 10
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Not 'faulty' at all. Play him! Just don't start him and set the tone for the game.
