Celtics (10-15) at Magic (10-20) Game #23 12/23/14

I don't get Syevens. Smart starts last game, few minutes tonight. What is the point of this season if not yo do elop Smart?

He looks like he's still banged up to me.

No, I would rather see young guys playing and developing.

Maybe the coach is actually trying to WIN the game.

And the point of that is?

You'd rather have a coach that intentionally loses games? Way to promote a losing culture I'm glad he's trying

Wow, Nelson with the worst shot since the last time I watched Kobe play. What was that??

What I said, and then he did it again with a ridiculous 3 attempt. Hope he gets flipped quickly.

Ranking the C's top 3 players

1.Green (one of the bottom two could overtake him)
2.Olynyk
3. Zeller

Never thought I'd say that at the start of the season

Moral victories with rondo.  Moral victories without rondo.  Good to see my premise is still alive and well.

With Rondo, we beat Orlando by 17 a few games ago.  Now we lose to them by 5.  Seems like a bit of a difference.

He is our new Tank a Matic  .....in addition to Bass .....we re riding the lottery express.

[Cman]

The crazy thing is you can make the case that Zeller is our best player

Trade bait.

Nine minutes for Sully... any guesses as to why?

Fat...lazy....

You win most unintelligent guess of the night.

Say what? He played fat and lazy in the first half. Why do you think he is on the bench?

People on this forum were screaming that he was fat and lazy when he was averaging 16/8/3. Just seems like a talking point to me with no real evidence to back it up.

He looks fat. Maybe he's not. But standing aroung the 3 point line on most possessions, is a bit lazy. Stevens must have noticed too.

Sully shoots almost double the percentage of his total FGAs at rim as he does behind the 3PT line. As BBallTim said earlier, anyone complaining about Sully's three-point obsession while simultaneously calling him lazy because of those shots lacks an understanding of NBA basketball. This isn't playground ball where guys just what they want. In all likelihood Sully hangs around the perimeter because his coaches were telling him to. Before he went into this freezing cold shooting streak, it was working.

So I'm unintelligent and lack an understanding of basketball. Nice. I will leave you to yourself.

The development of Smart, Sully, KO and Young should be put ahead of all other competing interests, including winning this season. (not that winning and the development of the kids is somehow conflicting---we're gonna lose regardless).

I hope not this is his 3rd year in the league and he's putting up these numbers. He may only get better, we got a steal here

Well...maybe we can ask to trade back ...

Our fingers were crossed ...

Respectable ending, last attempt aside.

Now what is the deal with Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger??

I'm all for the youth movement trust me but no coach in his right mind was pulling Nelson the way he played in the 4th
