Danger Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I still feel like the Celtics are frankly better off without Kyrie in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Will the Cs shoot like that in a 7 game series, idk its possible. Are they better without Kyrie - hell no. (22 shots between Smart/Rozier?) I'm sure Brown will take that all day, still lost.... they don't have anyone that can slow Kyrie down. 6ers better avoid that first round matchup otherwise Butler and possibly Harris are gone. I didn't get to watch all of it, but how Brown sets the lineups will determine their outcome.

Embiid needs to figure out how to play Horford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid is a liability because of his foot speed defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punish as in on the block drawing fouls...not settling on long 3s and fade-away Js 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias has been more worthy of it these days, but at this point there's nothing to really lose by giving Butler max. We'll be over the cap if we do or don't.

It's obvious that sometimes the team wins inspite of him simply because even at the start of the year they have one of the most talented rosters in the league and certainly do now, though lacking depth. It's embarassing that he still hasn't figure out rotations. His current rotations are. Starting 5 Jimmy/JoJo/JJ and 2 Random Guys Ben/Tobi and 3 Random Guys Sprinkle in overusing Bobi and you have a BB special. It honestly doesn't make sense why he doesn't have a "Simmons and Shooters" lineup that resembles the "International Death" lineup from last year's 17-game win steak. Something like Ben/JJ/Tobi/Scott/Bolden. Also doesn't make sense that if he's going to continue to overuse Bobi then he needs to be in lineups with Tobi to run Pick and Roll like they did in LA.

nlesthought Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 fun game to watch vs Giannis. Ben should find out who Giannis works out with...but seriously Ben is soft defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixers needed that one I have no problem maxing Butler I love Jimmy and with the construction of the team (i.e. contracts and cap space), maxing him makes sense. Could just be a bad deal down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
