Last night against Hornets.

4 QTR minutes

6:36 (Terry) - let's be real he was still dead from the Lebron dunk

11:25 (Crawford) - I like Jordan, but he's not someone I would roll with down the stretch of a game let alone for virtually all of the most important quarter in a close nit game.

4:43 (Bass) - the guy has been trashed on a lot this year, but he was one of the best players we had out there today, especially early on in the 1st half...he should have played more in the 4th.

4:13 + 0:34 (Green) - On fire in the 1st quarter, ice cold late, but that doesn't matter. What matters is this guy is one of the rare guys that can get to the rim and at least has a better chance to get to the line than almost any other Celtic other than Pierce. Green should have come back in earlier than the last 34 seconds of the game...sorry Doc, don't know what you see in Crawford to trust this dude over Green. I can understand a little bit why you want to ride out Terry since Jet is a vet, but you basically insult Jeff Green by playing Crawford for virtually 99% of the 4th quarter.

Can someone please explain to me how does Doc decide to distribute minutes?

Doc distributes minutes by being an idiot? lol I'm not sure.

It's maddening. Frustrating, though.
And everyone wants to look at Jeff like 'what the what? why can't you put up 43 every night!?'

I wouldn't play Crazy- I mean Crawford more than a couple of minutes per half.

Have you ever stop and think for a minute where would Bradley/Lee/Greeen would be if Sully and Rondo weren't out for the season?  We all know Doc would close with Rondo and JT.  We know Jeff would only sub PP for about 15mins/gm.

Best rotation we had last year was during the playoff when we were depleted by injuries. 

In short, you can't givive Doc too many bodies cause he'll find a way to play the wrong guys, the wrong minutes at the wrong times.

JG and AB should be starters and closers every single game.  Even when Sully and Rondo return.

And like I said, I wouldn't play Crazy longer than I have too.

   Bradley was the starter when Rondo was here. Whether he closes or not is probably between him and Terry. Doc always shortens his rotations when the playoffs roll around. I'd say Sully probably would have ended up with Bass's minutes.

Doc knows the third seed is a stretch, so he might as well get some game reps for Craw while resting up Green a bit (he was very fatigued after MIA). A subtle way for us to not play Miami until the ECF ;) Doc's not that stupid.

It's funny....these are our top 3 leaders in net +/-

1. Crawford +33.4
2. Williams +19.4
3. Terry +6.3

LOL.

Small samples for the top 2, but still LOL!!

LOL @ the plus/minus statistic.

Danger zone...
