It's time to move Smart back to the second unit

[ozgod]

I think having Smart out there as a secondary ball-handler and playmaker helps Kyrie a lot (better frees Kyrie up to be himself - a scorer).

I wonder how well Kyrie would adjust (not his strength) without Smart. I like the idea of having either Smart or Hayward alongside Kyrie to give the team that secondary ball-handler.

Then have Wanamaker run the second unit. He is a better shooter and playmaker than Rozier. Rozier is the problem.

Rozier is the reason they got blown out last night?

a part of.

There was once a guy who died from heart failure.
He was a pretty healthy guy, but one day he was in a terrible accident, got run into on the highway head on. He got broken to bits. EMTs brought him to the hospital, tried their best to piece him together but he was in a coma for a couple of weeks.

Then one day is heart stopped, the doctors did all they could, but it was too late, the heart attack had taken his life. Doctors said that all the surgeries and blood loss and broken up insides just broke down his heart.

So while technically, the guy dies from a heart attack, its safe to say that without the car accident, and resulting coma, that he would have never had said heart attack.

Rozier and morris are the car accident and right now the team is in that coma.

"There was once a guy who died from heart failure."

This doesn't seem to be one of those happy ending fairytales

I am tired of watching Terry Rozier trying to play the point.

Bring Brown back to the starting unit.

Or sit Rozier and play Wanamaker with the second unit.

Easier just to take away Rozier's minutes. i think we need Smart next to Kyrie.
I would split Rozier minutes between Brown and Wanamaker.

It's time to set feelings aside because there're none left to protect.

Start Brown and swap his minute allotment with Morris; actually give Brown big minutes and decrease Rozier's.  Morris would make a good hero ball bench leader while Jaylen is a blossoming starter.

Start Hayward again.

So, opening night lineup: Irving/Brown/Hayward/Tatum/Horford

No. No rebounds with this unit. Go with Ky, Smart, JT, Al and Baynes.

It's time to move Morris back for sure. Not positive about Smart, I kinda like him out there with the starters.

Somebody definitely needs to sit Rozier down and tell him how much money he's costing himself by trying to get paid.

Take out smart and put in Brown

Ky/Brown/Tatum/Horf and Baynes

Rozier/Smart/Hayward/Morris/Theis off the bench. Hayward can run the PG spot off the bench, Smart and Theis dont need their shots so that allows Hayward to set up the chuckers.

Smart has been part of the problem. For his entire career he's brought defensive intensity every night, which is what earned him his current contract.  For the first time he's dropped off in that department. And it has really shown itself during this recent skid.

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact Baynes is going to be out for 4-5 weeks lol.

Smart’s 3 point confidence is gone. Teams are slacking off him again.

Return Jaylen or Hayward to starting lineup.

Or both.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Him and Mook.

Time to go back to the Irving - Brown - Tatum - Hayward - Horford starting lineup. We need Smart's energy and Mook's scoring off the bench to keep the flow going.

Hayward to starting lineup is fine with me. Even in his current state of play, he's a player that doesn't NEED the ball to be effective. While we're at it, sit Morris down and slide Al to PF as soon as Baynes returns. Morris and Semi can back him up.

Jaylen Brown will never be what some of you envision for him. He is a black hole of offense. He's not a good passer, not a good ball handler, and he just doesn't see the floor very well.  His best spot is on the second unit.

Give "Scary Terry's" minutes to Wanamaker. Scary is out of control. There is a strong possibility that Scary's agent has his ear.

Smart’s defense against both LaVine and Leonard was useless both of them overwhelmed him.   Yes Rozier has been bad but to target him alone is wrong.  When did Marcus last have a solid game?

CBS wont as this lineup suits Irving
