No Jaylen is taking Crowder's job posts tonight?
I know. I started a thread on that same thought.

Brown beating Green for a spot in the regular rotation is a great sign.  I didn't think it would happen so soon (although the hip injury surely helped Brown).

Horford is so much better then I thought.

He could be a top 10 player in this league if he keeps playing like this.

I have to agree - I was a Horford hater, but I can admit when I'm wrong.  He's doing everything, and he's doing it ever night.

Not sure if he was playing hurt towards the end of last season, but he's looking way better then he did in Atlanta.

Bae is the spirit of this team, even on nights he doesn't produce.

I think it shows you how much of a team player he was.  I've said it before but I think he was really sacrificing to Millsap.  He was the guy spacing out so Millsap had room to work on offense and the boards.  Millsap also gets his share of touches. Here he doesn't have to sacrifice to any frontcourt player like that.

The way Stevens is using him really lets him be so effective.  He gets the pick and roll game but also so many hand off opportunities.  He is so smart at knowing where every player is on the floor and seeing how the play is developing.  He's like a PG in that regard.

I can't remember their offense but I know the Cs like to run their bigs up top and get the ball in their hands. It seems like Horford is heavily involved in the offense and the ball just seems to go in the right direction when he's involved. He just makes a ton of fundamentally sound plays.

Knee-jerk post: The only guy that doesn't seem to fit well with the starters is IT. If this continues in the regular season, do the Celtics make him the sixth man again and make Smart the starter?
