Who is covering Mirotic? Tatum? Morris? What the heck?

I saw both on him.  But when he is pulling up from 35 feet does it even matter?

Any one else like the starting line up tonight.  The play between smart and Kyrie is nice.  Smart is a better passer and he can defer to Kyrie in the shooting department. His defense is always good too.   Hayward on the bench is a good place for him.  Morris is much better starting  for this team right now. Let’s hope Brad found something.
The best 1st havles the C's have had recently are against Atlanta and NO, two of the worst defensive teams in the league. And they did it with two completely different starting lineups. I am not sure who starts over those two games matters as much as how much effort the players give and how bad the opposing defense is.

Brown hasn't been doing enough of the little things gritty role players like Smart and Morris are known for, and Hayward just is nowhere near back to his old self.  The two-man game between Kyrie and Horford still works great when we focus in on it.  Tatum has also shown he can play off of the two-man game of Kyrie/Horford pretty well.

I don't know if bringing Brown and Hayward off the bench on a more permanent basis is viable, but for now it may be best.

Also not convinced Brown is fully healthy.  Seems to have a bunch of nagging stuff going on with him this year.

The only way the Celtics are going to win this thing is if they maintain pace. Pelicans are dragging at both ends.

Bench has looked good.

Mike Vrabel, on the other hand? Is not looking good.

Amazing how the Pats have beaten great teams like GB, CHI, HOU, etc yet somehow lost in ugly fashion to the freakin' Lions, Jags and Titans.  ???

Cripes. Mirotic is 6 for 9 from three point land.

I feel like this team has put 10 random guys on the all star ballot by now  :laugh:
