And REALITY CHECK!!

Kyrie Irving is a top 5 PG in the NBA.

I'm not going to overreact to 1 bad game by Rozier in the playoffs.  And fact is we would have NEVER made it this far without him.  But the Celtics will be hard pressed to keep him due to salary.

I'm thinking DA will offload Terry in the offseason.  If we can get a pick in the 5-10 range, Danny probably makes that trade so that we can resign Smart and add another cheap rookie contract player with high upside to the roster.

In my opinion Rozier made a play tonight that ended the season. I think there was about 2 minutes left and he turned down a lay-up, turned out to the corner and pulled the dumbest 3. Despite the fact he was shooting 0-9 from 3 at that point. It was a 3 point game at that point if i can recall correctly and the cavs went back the other way and got a lay up. It may have even been an and-1. I can't recall because I was losing my mind at how poor of a basketball decision that was. That was the last we saw of rozier for the season as brad pulled him on the ensuing time out. I'm not blaming the loss on him, that's a team thing. I just think that specific sequence sealed the fate of the game.

Say what you will about Rozier, but he would be stinging like HELL right now, missing so many shots..

nope, but Rozier will allow us not to overpay Smart and will be a good backup to Irving next year in case smart doesn't sign his QO or sign something reasonable, he if does they should be able to flip Rozier for an asset.

well, this thread aged badly. Terry Rozier is what i've said he is the whole time. A high quality role-player or a mediocre starter.

Kyrie Irving is a top 5 player in the nba. You think we couldve used his shot making in crunch time?

Nope.

Love Terry don't get me wrong, but if we had Kyrie alone this series we would've won.

And I'm not even talking about GH.

We lost to the best player in the NBA, and he has been the last several years.

while not Kyrie, Rozier is pretty good, he needs to be judged on his body of work, look at the progression pretty steady. If I were an opposing team I'll be trying to land him with a non 10 pick.

but no way he makes kyrie expendable.

TP, but even worse was the fact that Morris and Brown elected to follow his lead in simply running behind the line in desperation and opting to chuck threes during the same possession when it was still somewhere between a three and five point game at that time, which really made for the perfect microcosm of the night, if not also the series, as well, imo ::).

a silver lining to his play tonight is that we won't be hearing the trade Kyrie keep Rozier talk.
