Rockets (1-15) at Celtics (9-8) Game #18 11/22/21

It would be interesting to see how Jaylen fits with the starters, and how Schroder adjusts to life as a 6th man again.

Gives Schroder the chance to feast on 2nd team offense while Brown takes away shots from the other starters not named Tatum.   


Plus keeps Tatum at the SF position where he is finding his groove.

I'd keep G-Will in the starting lineup over Horford/Timelord. He's playing great this season. I reckon we need off-ball specialists around the Jays. He's also better suited than Horford/Timelord to switch ball screens on the perimeter.

Smart - Brown - Tatum - Grant - Timelord

Great that Rob and Jaylen returning tonight.  Our bench depth will be a great asset finally.

UPDATE

Jaylen Brown and Romeo Langford have been upgraded to available for the Boston Celtics tonight.

Dennis Schroder and Robert Williams remain probable.

Josh Richardson was added in the report as questionable due to a non-COVID illness.

Interesting, thanks for the update.  If Schroder and Williams are still only probable, I see no reason to start them.  Let them ease back in.  It is Houston after all, who probably don't even want to win.

Smart
Brown
Tatum
GWill
Horford

... is what I would do.  Plan on playing Pritchard, Langford, Nesmith, and Kanter more than they have been and back off on Schoder and RWilliams (and Brown is probably somewhat limited also).  Maybe even play Parker and Hernangomez.  Give Richardson the night off if he needs it.  Should be plenty of firepower to beat Houston.

I expect a win. If they lose this game they deserve all the vitriol and scorn that will come their way!!

Williams should stay out long as possible ,  he requires more maintenance than my buddies Maserati. 

[hwangjini_1]

thanks once more for the game thread flc. one more tp to your already impressive stack.

celtics should clamp down hard on the rockert and get a big, i mean gargantuan, lead. then let players such as langford and nesmith and kanter and pritchard get a lot of playing time.

goooooooooooooooooooooooooo winning-streak celtics!!

Given the competition, I wonder if Ime doesn't put a minutes restriction on JB and the Lord of Time.
