The two five man units with the highest winning percentage for the Celtics

[Chris22]

Smart-Thornton-Turner-Bass-Olynyk - 80%

Smart-Turner-Green-Bass-Olynyk - 75%

It is time to start Smart and sit Bradley down.

Starters get smashed by opposing starters.

Bench gets to prey on weaker benches.

I'm all for doing w/e helps us win and I mean ANYTHING (except give a deal like Cavs gave for Love  )!



Now, I thought people said KO sucks, I'm sure there aren't people advocating moving him back into the starting lineup? 

Every week there is a "he sucks" thread on somebody, we can change the starting lineup every week based off of these threads.

I'm really surprised there isn't a "start Prince" thread, it's probably because he is old and has nothing to do with his impact while out there.

Hasn't our bench been the ones who had played better and had the big comebacks in the second halves, usually against the starters?

Smart, Turner, and Thornton are better than Bradley.

Smart-Thornton-Turner-Bass-Olynyk - 80%

This is the lineup I've been begging to see more of.  They seem to just click well together on the court.

The spacing is pretty good, and Turner/Thornton are our ONLY two guys who EVER actually our use our space and drive the ball aggressively.  Meanwhile, Smart is also capable of some good penetration, but for some reason rarely does it (not sure if the blame goes to him or Stevens or both).

smart thornton prince sully zeller would be a nice combination of offense and defense,

anyway we need a SF and a Center desperatly.

My favorite lineup to watch (but I don't know the +/-) is:

• Smart
• Bradley
• Wallace
• Prince
• Zeller

Not a lot of scoring options but the frenetic energy on defense is incredibly fun to watch.

The lineups with Bradley have the lowest winning percentages generally.

That's the point.

You are ahead of the rest of us.

I am fine with any starting lineup that replaces Bradley with Smart, Thornton, or Turner.

In the short time Crowder has been here he's already been a part of two other 5 man units who've played nearly double the minutes of the first group, and more than 3 times the minutes of the second group that you listed. Your second 5 man unit has played 24 minutes together total this year.

The lineups with Crowder have been the worst. Bradley's all over the spectrum because he's played the most minutes of anybody this year. Look at the top 2 combos in minutes played, of which he's a part of both. Their win% was 61% and 60% over a combined 300+ minutes of play. Of course, two of those players are gone now and one's injured.

If we want to win, we need to start Smart and Thornton or Smart and Turner in the backcourt.
