In the last 5 games, he's averaging 15.6 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 2.6 APG in about 23 minutes/game.

Believe it or not, he's also averaging 1 block a game, along with 1 steal/game.

And in that same stretch, he's hitting threes at a 56% rate (15-27 from behind the arc).

Sure, it's a very small sample size, but it's nice to see Terry progressing well as the season goes on, and he's been a big part of this recent winning streak which has included big wins over Cleveland and Houston, as well as gritty wins vs. Charlotte and a surprisingly decent Brooklyn team. Even in the Christmas Day game they lost to vs. Washington, Rozier had a solid game.

He's definitely provided a great spark off the bench since Christmas, and we're going to really need that going forward. Our bench has looked better of late with Rozier getting more consistent and Morris back from injury.  ;D

Rozier's shot looks so smooth and so good when it goes in.

If I'm not mistaken, Lebron even praised Rozier last night for his performance.

Im  a Rozier hater, but if he can continue to score like this I must admit Im impressed.

I still think hes a mediocre to bad defender and I think he has a horrifically low bball IQ, but his production has been really really good lately and is a huge part of the reason we have been able to win big games against Houston and Cleveland in the last few weeks.

He's looked good since Christmas.  Been a bit of a rollercoaster ride all season but like what I've seen out of him lately.

He is really gaining confidence. His aggression is really impressive. Keep it up and we will have no bench issues.

If Rozier walked on water, some people here would say he couldn't swim.

He is confident now and knows his role hence no more looking into his shoulder if hemakes mistakes. The guy has just flat out doing the Avery Bradley role from the bench...no other team can claim that...hopefully continues all the way to the playoffs.

Rozier has quickly become the Celtics second best PG and it's really not close. 

He's also a great example of why it makes at ton of sense to draft defensive guards in the 20's instead of with high lottery picks when you hope to develop their offense. 

The fact that his scoring and shooting efficiencies have risen every year of his career is a great indicator of his potential to grow and improve.

His shooting is coming to form but his D is still a hit or miss.

5 rpg in 23 mpg is pretty good from a guard.

I wasn't on the Terry Rozier bandwagon last year. I am now.

I knew he had physical tools. I questioned if he could put it together. He definitely has this season. I fully anticipate he will have a dud game within the next three to five games, but he looks like he's figured out his role on this team.

His last few games he's just playing with so much confidence – and well earned confidence. Changes pace and direction on his drives with purpose, and when he gets to the room he can finish. He has pulled his three point shooting average up above league average (!)

Still has a few wrinkles to work out, but this version of Terry makes the team much better.
