Celtics (34-25) at Nets (22-39) 4/14

[Change]

E'twaun moves like Jagger. Not good playing in a league that has super athletes.

[Fafnir]

Moore is definitely a ball hog, he just doesn't give the ball up.
The reason you're not getting any chance, Mr. Moore!

Anyway, good win. Let's get another one tomorrow night

I'll forgive him for wanting to jack a few shots in garbage time. Not a real show of how he plays normally.

I'm not calling for his head, either. But he needs to learn that this isn't just a game of stats.
I hope he isn't one of those my stats-first type players, but to be fair, he hasn't received normal game minutes for quite a while to judge.

When he did get a rare shot earlier in the year he wasn't a ball hog with the rest of the starters. He did shoot a lot, but that was because teams weren't really concerned about defending him off the ball. C's wanted him to take those (even if he didn't hit many sadly)

Hollins is really bad wow

nice win came out sluggish our bigs mainly but finally woke up

His shooting mechanics aren't quite textbook, but I remember AB getting me mad with his unrealistically atrocious shooting. So, I will not give up hope on a rookie immediately if he's willing to keep his head up and work during these times.

And now we all can see why Moore, Johnson, and Hollins don't get off the bench. Even against one of the worst teams' in the league scrubs, they let a very convincing 17 point game get competitive in just 90 seconds.

They all suck right now. Moore and JJJ might not suck in the future but right now, they just aren't good. Not even a little bit. Hollins will always suck. Never understood that signing.

[Fafnir]

Never understood that signing.

Wasn't anything else out there it seems.

I'm a hustle guy and I'm confident I can make 4 fouls and 3 turnovers in 4 minutes. Please Danny, sign me.

[Kuberski1]

The Rollins signing may indeed come back to haunt us...was that really the best we could do?  Boy, we sure could use more depth at that spot....

I wasn't going to post tonight, but  good lord Hollins sucks

thank god for steamer

agreed -- Hollins hasn't shown anything so far this year.  aside from him being 7 feet tall, why is he playing ahead of JJJ again?

because he is 7ft tall and has 30pounds on JJ.

I don't think he's as good though

Me either. But Hollins has shown he is willing to hit people and make contact. Johnson hasn't and for that reason, I think Hollins barely sees more minutes than Johnson.

we outrebounded another team. hooray for today!

[Celtics18]

How can we get Petro, that guy is a stud.

Trade KG for him.

[Celtics18]

My goodness!  The last three pages of this game thread were filled with vitriolic statements directed at the players who never get a chance to play.

Boy, take it easy, guys.  Why does the team need to have enemies among it?  Sure,  Jajuan Johnson, E'Twaunn Moore, and Ryan Hollins aren't quite ready for the prime time. 

Luckily, there are nine or ten guys ahead of them in the rotation.

Well said. We shouldn't write off the young guys yet. I thought Bradley's development would have taught us to be patient.

I crushed the plastic cup that was just in my hand.
