  • That's turrible
This is so annoying. Let’s keep finding reasons to get within 1 and then make it a 3 possession game.

Well, hopefully now we can stop this exaggerated nonsense about Rozier making Smart unnecessary. He's just as inconsistent as ever.
Well, at least Smart is consistent. He's worse than bad Rozier offensively every game :P
The Celtics are only 0.9 points worse per 100 possessions offensively when Smart is on the floor.

When Rozier is on the floor, the offense is 6.8 points worse.

There is more to offense than just shooting percentages.
(1) This is not what we're talking about here.
(2) Even if it were, Rozier spends the bulk of his minutes this season with the horrible second unit.

Those numbers could be indicative of a lot of things, including who each player shares the court with more often.

My initial guess would be Smart spends more time on the court with Kyrie than Rozier does.

EDIT:  Yep, a quick check at NBA.com shows Smart plays 18 mpg with Kyrie, while Rozier only plays 9 mpg with Kyrie.

Yeah, that wasn't "vertical".

I think I enjoy watching Yabu more than Nader. I think I enjoyed watching James Young more than Nader.

Turner looked like he was a little freaked by Collins' blood when he came to the bench.  Evan was looking everywhere but at Collins.

Only down 4 with many players missing and Moose yet to suit up against a really good Portland team, I'll take it!

Horford is such a brilliant passer

Al directing around Theis was hilarious.

That was an incredibly hard shot by Tatum.  Not the biggest guy contesting him but falling that way, tough shot.

Why is this team standing around watching the ball... again?

They really just want to kill the crowd which is really ready to get into this game.

The offense is completely ragged when the ball is not going through Horford.  Come on.
