According to Brad Amir will start game 5

[j804]

I don't get it that last start with him in the lineup was only close because Isiah was hitting everything from three. He should not be seeing time dudes cooked.

Thoughts?

You know this team is far from a finished product when you have trouble identifying a legit starter for a certain opponent because you have glaring weaknesses.

ride the guys that got you there.

shows confidence.

dont agree with it but I imagine this is what hes going for. Tryna be Terry Francona out there.

Or it could completely backfire and WAS starts off on another big run with Gortat killing Amir out there.

Becoming really predictable nowadays.

I'm surprised Marcus hasn't had an opportunity to start.  It would have us going small, but we could slide Jae to the four to guard Morris and use Marcus as another tough perimeter defender.

Marcus could probably give Morris some fits too, similar to Milsap last year in the playoffs.

Any updates on Bradley? If he can't play on Game 5, I expect Jaylen to start.

Just reeks of a coach who simply can't figure out what to do with the starting lineup and is relying on "old faithful," even though it has consistently been proven not to work for us. Dumb and very disappointing.

Amir literally should not be playing any more minutes this series. I'm pretty sure I read where he has the worst rating of any Celtic this postseason. I mean, legitimately Rozier, Smart, JJ, or Brown - any of those would be better than Amir, who, I repeat, has repeatedly shown that he simply cannot keep up out there with these bigs anymore.

To be fair he doesnt know what to do with the starting lineup coz players have been underperforming. Its not just the 4 apot, even ab and jae are underperforming. When that happens any sane coach would go crazy.

Brad's dimwitted identical twin has seized control of the team at an extremely inopportune time.

[slightly biased bias fan]

Me personally I'd go with Horford, Crowder, Smart, Bradley/Rozier, Thomas

Yeah, I think he's been out flipping houses in California and Tarek El Moussa has been actually coaching the team:

He and his wife divorced.  Sad... that was a solid show.

Christina's lisp was the best part of the show lol

Her beauty was a close second.

I think you are coming on a bit strong here, but I must say Id rather any of the following start game 5:
Smart, Rozier, Brown, Zeller, Jerebko, Olynyk, Green

Tyler Zeller is not a good player. But Amir shouldnt be on the court right now.

I guess Amir is better than Demetrius, James Young and Jordan Mickey.

Yep, she was a gem for both reasons -- I groveled over that lisp.  If you're looking for a replacement show, Fixer Upper is solid.  Joanna is pretty foxy. 

Edit: Anywho, Amir is an unexpected choice.  Doubt it will matter much, though.  His mins will be limited, probably just trying to instill confidence in the troops and limit the damage on the defensive boards early.  More importantly, AB and Jae need to play well.  The Celtics need to spread the floor, baseline to baseline, and run-and-gun.  When they're hitting and scoring (hate to say it), they defend a heck of a lot better.  Need to control the pace to have any chance to win, and I think they will.
