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.
