Nice Marcus

[Roy H.]

GS has one of the worst benches in the league btw

It was definitely going to be key for our bench to outperform theirs.  I wasn't hopeful for that though because obviously our bench is extremely inconsistent.

Our bench *has* outperformed theirs.  Their bench has 6 points on 2-for-6 shooting.  Ours has 14 on 4-for-11.

The problem is the starters that they mix in with their bench.  Their bench has played 30 minutes.  Ours has played 40.

Brad just likes to rest starters tooooooo loooong.

Tatum has not played since 6 min of the 1st qtr, comes in with 5 min left in the 1st half...thats terrible.

Yep, and that has killed us tonight thus far.

And all season

Ha, dance about that one, Curry.

I've really soured on him over the last several years. He's become incredibly arrogant.

Right with you there, can't stand him

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Kyrie with the putback!

[jpotter33]

God, I love Kyrie. He's playing MVP-level ball right now.

The solution to beating GS is obvious:  we just need to clone Al Horford, so that he can play 48 minutes.

Mainly referring to the time where Baynes, Hayward, Brown, and Rozier were sharing the floor.  That unit wast terrible, as reflected by the +/-.  They coulnd't hang with GS' bench which is always mixed with starters.

Starters are getting the job done...all we need now is for Smart to heat up.

A lineup of 2 Al Horford's, 1 Marcus Smart and 2 Kyrie Irving's is the way I'd go

[Neurotic Guy]

Great D over last stretch.

JB 10 points in 12 minutes.

KYRIE!

[ozgod]

Wow Kyrie

[Roy H.]

Wow.  Kyrie bailed himself out there.

[Roy H.]

Man, I wanted that shot to fall.

Bad foul by Tatum.
