Apparently, Stevens is considering a starting lineup change, but he wouldn't reveal the possible switch. 

http://www.celticsblog.com/2015/2/3/7972007/stevens-hints-at-starting-lineup-change-turner-is-aware-of-smarts

In conjunction with this report, I believe Stevens said before last game that he was thinking of going smaller in his lineups.  To me, this sounds like it involves Turner, who is the only realy bigger than average guy (per his position) we have starting right now.  Turner also hasn't been playing as well lately, and Smart has been outplaying him off of the bench.

I would guess if Brad does change the lineup tonight it will be Smart in for Turner at the PG position, but I'm not sure if he has Turner or Crowder at the 3.  In the Heat game, it was a lineup of Smart, Bradley, and Crowder that got us back in the game, so I'm leaning towards Crowder over Turner, which would allow Turner to run the second unit.

Who do you think Brad is talking about?

I could see Smart in place of either Turner or AB. And Prince, if he's healthy, in place of Crowder, and Zeller instead of Sully.

Smart
AB/Turner
Prince
Bass
Zeller

 Turner definitely has a wrist injury that they aren't really mentioning much about.

Haha TP.

Stevens' rotations and lineups have been questionable, but I'm not sure they've been that questionable  ;D

Yeah, I think with Smart's play over the past couple weeks, he's certainly earned this.

Turner has really been trying to play like a pg.  I wonder if he can shift to being more of a scorer without regressing.

I think they just take turns running the offense rather than having Turner consistently be off the ball.

There's no reason he can't play point forward. It's not like our SG is a playmaker and with no KO, the rest of the starting line-up is average to below average at moving the ball around. Frankly, we need Turner out there as a passer.
