It's disappointing how obvious it is that IT has simply checked out.

IT is injured and has been since game 6 against The Wiz.

Everybody is banged up at this point.

Except the Cavs who're luxuriously rested and healed.

At this point, I wouldn't be against having rozier, brown and/or Zeller start to see if they can find a groove that the others cant

The man has been through a lot the last few weeks and could have checked out before game 1 against the bulls even started. I think he deserves a free pass after giving it his all the first two rounds. Mentally and emotionally he would be spent.

I remember Rondo played with one arm and still got a triple double or close to it.  That was back when Rondo was our core and we were building around him. 

Yeah I get IT's hurt and shouldn't risk making it worse, but really in 6 games vs the Bulls and the first 5 games and even in to the 6th vs the Wizards, IT only looked good for about three games.  At least that how I saw the games, maybe he looked like a super max all star every game up until he got hurt in game six to someone else.

I mean, we basically have the last two games. IT has been a no-show both games, so he basically wasn't playing and was in fact greatly hurting the team with his poor decision-making and terrible D.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if we play more competitively in Cleveland without IT. At least we can be defensively elite with Smart, AB, Jaylen, and Rozier playing more minutes at the guard spot.

TP. Ewing Theory possibility.

Feel bad for Al Horford. He's never gotten a win against LeBron/Cleveland in the playoffs after all these years. Ever.

Celtics need to play with intensity and hope to steal one on the road.

Now imagine a year when your gm created this scenario for not building a team and instead accumulating assets and parts

Now imagine the 26 teams that are not playing now.

I think we need to see what Smart can do at the PG.  Start Brown at the four.   We are not winning the series, we might as well see what we got.
