Celtics (16-13) at Pistons (17-13) Game #30 12/26/15

I see lots of comments on Olynyk.

My own opinion is that he has showed improvement lately, but he still has a long way to go esp. when it comes to D and rebounding. With Amir healthy, he is still the best option to start the game (IMHO by a large margin).

Its funny that people bag on Olynyk for his D, but he is actually rated a very good defender.  Even down low where people say he gets owned, he is forcing players to shoot significantly lower than than the rest of the NBA.

Amir back to starting alongside Sully. Olynyk to bench. Lee out with back spasms

I feel like starting Olynyk tonight might not be what is best for this game, but it is best for the season and beyond.

I'd also make the argument that Olynyk is much more effective as a starter and Johnso nis more effective as a starter (albeit with a small sample size)

Is there definitive word on who is starting?

Amir is back, Lee out due to back spasms.

From what I read online, Amir is starting tonight. I suppose the rest will be the usual suspects (IT, Bradley, Crowder and Sully)

Amir is back, Lee out due to back spasms.

I'd like to see KO and Sully start with Amir first off the bench. KO can space the floor and draw Drummond away from the paint. Stick Sully on Drummond on defense

Me too but Steve Bulpett said Amir is back in the starting lineup.

It's a shame, because I had Kelly in DFS tonight but if he's coming off the bench I feel much less confident.

Old Man Lee to miss game, possible multiples. This is arguably good news to our turnover percentage.

He caught them from Sully . LOL

I wish they would keep KO in the starting line up.

Hope Bradley puts in a better defensive effort this time around.
