Why was Kelly limited to 12 minutes today vs. Nets?

[footey]

He wasn't doing anything special, but hit his first and only 3 point shot.  And most of the other guys were dreadful from the 3. Just feel he could have given us a spark.  Did Stevens pull him early for a bad defensive sequence?  Twice?  Just was strange to me.

Because there is no plan. We are banking on other franchises screwing up whether it be Brooklyn, Sacramento etc

too many mediocre bigs and not enough minutes.

The main issue was our interior defense and rebounding. I think he would have gotten more of a run if he could have come down with a key rebound or two.

I noticed that he got benched immediately after he got out-hustled for what should have been an easy rebound.  The effort just wasn't there today, and BS has said many times that this team needs to play all-out, all the time, for them to be competitive.

You don't hustle, you don't play.
What an effort by Crowder today!

Thanks, I must say I did not pick up on that, but that makes sense. He needs to crank it up more on the intensity scale. Not sure he is capable of doing that, though. Some guys just aren't wired that way.

CBS is overly worried. Too many options. Please trade one or two of the bigs already

this puzzled me too. i thought after olly's 3 pointer that more of the offense would flow through him. well, that goes to show you what i know.

We need Kelly's offense today. Other than Crowder everyone else was pretty much garbage today. Brad's gotta work on a better line up. I know Bradley got hurt but he pretty much just jacks up shots, when they go in it's great but a lot of the time it's just jackin up shots.

I think they really missed Bradley today.  He's shooting .444 this season, which is right around the league average.  He's also proved that he can make some clutch shots down the stretch.

Bradley is a one-dimensional offensive player—if he isn't hitting jumpers, he's not doing anything.

Crowder takes way too many 3s for a so-so 3pt shooter.

Smart hardly ever takes it to the hoop.

IT is the only fairly consistent scorer on the team. Until that changes with the addition of one or two other legit scorers, Boston will have to keep relying more on its defense—and as we've seen the last two games, if the D isn't spectacular, the Cs are sunk.

I understand you work with what u have. In the end this Team doesn't have enough talent.

You beat OKC, take GS to the limit but lose to LAL and the Nets twice.
It's called inconsistency and that my friend is lack of talent
