[max215]

Scrubs, please!

[liam]

Ok. Scrub time. This is over

Or at least bench time. Kelly 6 minutes, Brown 4 minutes, Rozier 6 minutes Jj 6 minutes....

[Ogaju]

Why is Brad still playing our starters? He must have his reasons, but winning this game is not one of them.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

ok this is NOT celtics defense. this is atrocious D.

[mr. dee]

They've been consistently calling non-goaltend calls lately

So, apparently Brad wasn't done with this dumb starting lineup, even with as terrible as it has been.

I find Brad to be a pretty smart guy.  Surprised you call him 'dumb' so often throughout the course of a game.  Game after game.

He plays with a long view in mind; develops talent and motivates young players to grow into better versions of themselves.  Not many like him in the NBA, I'm grateful we have him.

Never called Brad dumb, but he does make dumb rotation decisions at times. He's started the wrong person all three games this series so far and has yet to adjust properly to it. We're getting murdered on the boards once again, yet he continues to go small, even when it's not working to overcome that deficit with his shooting.

I'll never understand this notion on Celticsblog that Brad is not able to be critiqued.

Do you think if you asked him why he did that he wouldn't have a reason?

How do you know he started.the wrong guy?

That is what I am talking about. you critize him, when you have no idea why he makes those decisions.

You really ought to give the best coaches in the league the benefit of the doubt. Seriously, they know what they are doing, even if you don't understand it.

You give them way too much credit. They're still human, and they still have flaws and make bad decisions.

I don't care what his reason is for starting Green and Amir this series. The proof is in the pudding: it's the wrong lineup to start off with how we're spotting them huge leads. It has absolutely been a bad decision.

I'll give him a pass  with starting Green game 1 since we played so well against Chicago with him, though I was on the record saying that was a bad idea prior to game 1. But there was no justification for starting Amir with how he's played in the playoffs and given the matchups. And going back to Green this game was also a major mistake, as we've seen tonight.

So, if you sat down with Brad, one of the best and smartest coaches in the league, you think you would be able to teach him something he doesn't know, or that you would be able to create a better argument for starting whom than he is?

Come on man, you are an awesome poster, but the constant acting like you know better than the coach is just ridiculous.

[jpotter33]

Hopefully with JJ getting more run tonight that means he'll start next game. We're getting absolutely murdered on the boards, especially offensive, and he'd certainly help with that while also providing the spacing and shooting IT needs for penetration and kicking.

But I'll pretty much be fine with anyone starting not named Green or Amir...

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

rozier and brown played well in crunch time why not let them get more playoff experience now?

[liam]

Why is Brad still playing our starters? He must have his reasons, but winning this game is not one of them.

I guess he must. IT is usually out at this time in the 3rd.

[BringToughnessBack]

Did that announcer really say Bog's stroke was pretty...?

[jpotter33]

Its a different set of posters when we are losing.

That's what happens when we play like this. It's such a bifurcated team: we either play phenomenal or straight up terrible, and it mainly depends on our defense.

GOD ZELLAR IS INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Can't wait to see the threads after this game:

"Is Isaiah a max-player?"

"Lets blow this whole team up"

"Horford is overrated and garbage and should be traded"

"Blame Ainge for not trading for anyone at the deadline"

"Blame Stevens for everything and being in this pickle"

"Why did we let go of Sullinger"
