It's nice to see so many possible coaches on this forum, in case we need to get rid of that idiot Brad Stevens who seems to always play Smart over Rozier.
Why would you anyone want to play Smart 30 minutes over Rozier's 23 minutes, when we now have proof that Rozier has surpassed Smart as the superior player.
I think that has more to do with fit than anything else. At the end of the game, when Kyrie is on the floor, Terry’s skills are a little bit redundant. Marcus’ are complementary.
Once gordon comes back, I think the calculus changes. At that point, Marcus is no longer in the top five – you are going to close with Al, Jaylen, Jason, Gordon, and Kyrie. If you have to choose one of Marcus and Terry as the point guard for the second unit, and starting point guard when Kyrie is out, I choose Terry every time.
