He played short but effective minutes. Like he wasn't injured.

Yeah, he looked really really good out there. Getting offensive rebounds, moving without the ball, hitting his jumpshots

But mostly, I think the Celtics are starting to understand where he thrives. There was alot of anger towards Kritic's play. But I think it was because the team didn't put him in the right places for him to succeed. Like giving him the ball with two guys on him while theres 2 seconds left on the shot clock

That being said, Kritic and the two O'neals would be huge when they all get healthy

Krstic always plays the opposite of how you expect him to play. Everyone was expecting him to be a below average center and he comes here and immediately looks comfortable in the offense and even has decent defensive stints. Enough time elapses where you think he is going to possibly look even better with more time and he stinks up the place. Then he gets injured and looks great the game after.

Up is down.

This is expected, I think.  Did you see him running like a madman in transition, which at least once led to a basket?  Krstic could go all-out in his limited minutes, without worrying about wiping himself out, because JO was there this time.

May be a good sign for the playoffs.

I'd look forward to that, for sure. :)

I think we're really starting to see what this team is capable of with a healthy roster. Players can play within their roles and not try to do too much. Here we come NBA, get ready for banner 18.

Yeah, I think it's clear that he is better in a more limited role where he is asked to do less.  Conversely, I think Jermaine is a lot more comfortable in a role in which he's asked to do more.

Yeah I thought he looked great out there. I like the offensive boards he got.

I think he's WAY more effective with that second unit. With the starters he's the big man down low, he's expected to score under the rim on dump offs because KG is camped outside for his mid-range jumper. With the backups HE'S more of the pick and pop guy while Glen Davis is forced down low where he's more effective.

Overall: 2nd unit Krstic is a much better Krstic. But with KRS out there Glen REALLY has to make an effort to attack the rim more, same goes for Jeff Green.
