My only problem with Brad was starting Smart at the three.

Can we acknowledge a Celticsblog weakness.

That Celticsblog is littered with a bunch of people who are in love with young players that don't play simply because those Celticsbloggers haven't seen them play and fail, most likely like those young players have in practice, time and time again.

Brad definitely seems to be a 'bird in the hand' guy

wrong. And you don't know if they have failed or CBS prefers to stick with vets. 

why is then Casey from the raptors starting Norman Powel (2nd round draft pick).  Why is Lyles starting ?

rookies need time to get their feet wet.  If they get some trust/allowed to make mistakes, eventually things will iron out.  And if it doesn't , well then you will be eventually out of the league.

Right now CBS is gripping too hard when he should go to his bench and give the young guys a chance. Especially with injuries piling up.  Instead is giving min to a player that has lost it (Zeller).
Overplaying Turner last night, when he should of been yanked after 10 min for being brutal

Looking at the circumstances, it seems that those players received their chances in part due to injuries.  Stevens is clearly keeping the Celtics too healthy and has only now started to correct that flaw by getting Crowder injured.

I would have started Clarke and kept the second unit intact.

Yep. Let's instead acknowledge that Brad probably deserves the most credit of any one for this season's success.

I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging the overall great job Stevens has done while also wondering about some of his decisions.  For example, why is he putting a poor 3 point shooter like Smart into an offensive role where he mostly stands outside the arc waiting to shoot 3s?  Turner and Sully have largely stopped, so why does Smart have a green light?

why not write him and find out? really. no one of this board knows for sure and CBS might like getting a good question from a fan.

Can we talk about Brad Stevens inconsistent rotations and lack of faith in young players?
People here said the same thing about Doc. It is an easy thing for armchair quarterbacks to criticize.

And how many of those young guys was Doc wrong about?

Not only that but Doc actually played the young guys plenty. We won a championship with Rondo (2nd year), Baby (rookie) and Powe (2nd year) all playing key minutes.

And for that matter Stevens has given meaningful minutes to plenty of young guys: KO, Smart and Sully spring to mind as guys that played plenty in their rookie and second seasons. Heck, Phil Pressey played a bunch for us.

The inconsistent rotation criticism is just nonsense. When the 3rd-12th guys on the team are all fairly close in talent, and sometimes guys get hurt, rotations will vary.
