No Bradley, Amir or Jaylen Brown tonight.

I am curious to see who fills the back end of the rotation.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

So who else is expecting Gortat to go off for 15+ rebounds tonight?

Marcin Gortat.... I hope the Celtics are not getting a reputation of being soft on the boards.
He's already averaging 12 rpg so going just 3 over his average is not too bad. I'm worried he might post 20.

Also, that's not a reputation. It's the state of affairs.

Lol great, now Brad has an excuse to go even smaller. Should be an interesting game.

Um, excuse me? Are JJ and KO out, too, or is Brad literally trying to make me question every single rotation decision he makes from now on? lol

He's going with the guy that's played literally 69 minutes for us this year to start the game against an increasingly improved opponent in the Wiz?

In Brad I trust.  My assumption is he'd rather have Mickey out there with the starters because they can compensate for his shortcomings better than some of the bench guys, and given the lack of bodies, he's going to play minutes regardless.

If he starts Olynyk, there's noone on the bench who can play C. If he starts Jerebko, we'll get eaten on the boards. If he starts Mickey... well, we'll know soon.

I'm willing to bet that Gortat and Morris are much more excited.

I'd much rather have Mickey against the bench guys than have Morris going off on him or Gortat dominating him down low. At least JJ could keep up with Morris on the perimeter while leaving KO for the bench unit.

If they're feeding Morris to try to take advantage of the matchup, that means they're giving the ball to their worst offensive starter, by far.  I'm willing to take that risk.  Morris is not a very efficient player at all.

Starting Mickey keeps the rotation semi stable.

Stevens said Jordan Mickey will likely start tonight for the injured Amir Johnson.

So what's up with this odd 8pm start time?  Don't the Celtics non-nationally televised home games usually start at 7:30pm?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
