Celtics (33-24) at Timberwolves (17-39) Game #58 2/22/16

Small ball again.   

That's obviously the answer since we can't get a rebound!

What else are we going to do? Play Zeller more minutes?

Mickey.

Yeah. That sounds like a recipe for success.

Yeah, because Zeller and small-ball has been working so well.

You know you are grasping for straws when you think playing a rookie who's played like 3 NBA minutes total against the guy who's tooling on your team is a good idea.

Just not the Celtics night tonight. Their defense in general the past few weeks has not been good.

I guess we should never play the rookies then, even when nothing else is working! It just doesn't make sense to keep trying something that isn't working.. What do you have to lose by playing Mickey?

[Celtic Fan Forever]

And that's not a charge how?

[KeepRondo]

If only we had a legit big

[jpotter33]

There you go, KeepRondo. There's IT trying to recklessly take  the ball against a guy a foot taller than him, and of course Bradley can't hit a freaking layup..

how do you not want him to take that there.

Are you kidding me?? He had two trailers behind him, yet he took it up against Wiggins, a guy literally a foot taller than him, by himself! That's inexcusable!

You must blink a lot because he scores consistently against bigs at the rim.

Well, there's no sense in arguing with you about it if you think it's fine for him to take it up against Wiggins on a 3 versus 1 fastbreak rather than passing it up to the open guy...

You gotta be one of the few ppl who would want IT kicking it out when he drives.

Like I said, no sense in arguing with you if you're going to be that stubborn.

How did Marcus get the rebound there?!

[KeepRondo]

Quick three and we got a chance

[Celtic Fan Forever]

What a board by smart

[SCeltic34]

Rubio with a verbal exchange with Smart.  Better notify Rubio's next of kin if that ever went down.

IT is usually too selfish. He's a great finisher at the rim, but I'd rather Bradley or Crowder shoot an open 3.

[esel1000]

lol of course JJ doesn't get that

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Ahhhh we needed that loose ball

[Tr1boy]

thank you Zeller.  Also Jerebko just hustling out there but not much else

CBS gripping so tight should of given a few more mins to Mickey

IT has saved this team so many times by attacking the rim.

He has also lost at least 3 games doing that too.

Career high for Jae.
