What the heck happened with Brown not playing?
It could be a number reasons.
But one thing's for sure, Celts have too many players of the same kind.
That will not happen again next season when the Celts trade for AD.
If anything with Kyrie out, there are a WHOLE lot more guard minutes to go around.
It makes zero sense.
Smart, Rozier, and Hayward, that's 3 guards right there.
The 4th guard usually ends up getting the fewest minutes.
Lol, Hayward doesn't play guard...I wouldn't mind if he did, but he doesn't.
Apparently that's what's happening.
Hayward came in with 4:33 left in the 4th.
He replaced Rozier.
Celts ended the game with Horford, Morris, Tatum, Hayward, and Smart.
well I admit, I don't know much about this team anymore. maybe he is a guard now? lol
Its what happened this game, its not what happened this season. He has literally played almost zero SG this year. It worked this game because the Cavaliers have almost zero guard play outside of Colin Sexton that can actually hurt Hayward. And you wnat to go bigger to counteract a bigger Cavs front court.
This season Hayward has done a lot of playmaking when he comes off the bench.
Whether he's a SG or not with Boston, he handles the ball a lot.
Ya, but handling the ball is irrelevant. Its about who is guarding who. Hayward, who has been a step slow this year (understandably), has spent almost literally no time guarding anybody smaller than 6'7 this year. He played thirty minutes this game, he didn't take Jaylens minutes. It continues to be an issue of playing Rozier and Morris to much.
