I would like to see Turner, Smart, Crowder, Sullinger, and Olynyk start.

It can't be any worse.

Didn't the C's try the KO as a starter thing to open the season?

Do you remember how painful it was, not only for poor Kelly, but for the fans too.

I like Smart starting at the 2, until we know for sure he's not a 1.

For tanking it would be great.  Sully and Oly are a defensive sieve and the other teams baskets would flow.

I think it would be worse to watch but better for the team in the long run.

I would rather start Olynyk next to Zeller and Thornton or Young at the SG. I am fine with starting Smart but we may bring home another PG next season if we pick in the top 2-3 spots. Sullinger will pout if he has to come off the bench so they probably wont make him. I think this is a mistake because that is where he is headed on a contender. He should get used to it.

Bradley needs to get used to being a bench player after this season anyway. He will still be in the rotation but not as a starter IMO. Next year Young or a new player will take his spot. Why not use Thornton until we trade him?

As soon as we find a decent SF, I'm thinking next years draft will give us one, W need to put Crowder on the bench. He shouldn't start unless he proves he can hit the 3pter and effecively cover 2,3,and some 4's. Think James Posey.

I like the part about Bradley needing to get used to being a bench player. Very true.

And we looked much better than we do now.

  I'm down with starting Olynyk and Smart as long as we bench Sullinger.

Sullinger is the 15th rated PF in the NBA in PER, and the Celtics are a plus 4 with him on the court.

Sullinger is a good player.
