Bold prediction: Mickey doesn't play.

Stevens already said he wouldn't be playing (http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/sidebar/shoot-021916-olynyk-to-miss-three-weeks-with-shoulder-injury)

Many fans and media members are clamoring for Jordan Mickey, who has been stuck in Maine with the Red Claws all season, to finally be given substantial playing time. Stevens shot that idea down, at least for the short term, seeing as Mickey just joined the Celtics yesterday and hasn’t played much 5-on-5 basketball over the last month due to a left ankle injury.

Rather than looking to Mickey for a boost, the coach indicates that fans and media should be prepared to watch Tyler Zeller and Jonas Jerebko play in more expanded roles.

So I was right. I'll go for the heat check: Jae Crowder will make a late push for DPOY and MVP.

I hope we get a bit more time for James Young! Love to see him inserted into that small ball line up! Its about time he starts making some sort of impact.

Time to give up on that dream

Why is that exactly?

Crowder and Turner have entrenched themselves in their roles for at least this season. James Young won't be playing any meaningful minutes this season; maybe next year if Turner leaves via free agency.

The rotation has been shortened a bit and Young is odd man out currently.

Im not sure if that is entirely true. I think, while Kelly is out, its reasonable to expect James Young to get 10 of those minutes. You'll see an expanded role from Jonas and Zeller but some of the shooting and versatility Kelly provides needs to come into play and I think its James' time. Im hoping at least.

Let's go C's! I've been itching for the last week for some basketball to be back! It'll be interesting to see how we get appraised on national TV.
