LeVert needs to start. The team has been terrible when he isn’t on the floor recently. Dinwiddie seems to have lost his magic.

LeVert is playing fantastic and as 6th man, he's thriving. Let him thrive in this role for awhile and then move him to start.
Dinwiddie played pretty well. Harris is playing better than Crabbe, CLV and Allen have better chemistry than Dinwiddie and Zeller, there's more toughness in the 2nd unit. 1st unit depends alot on DMC's energy.
I think it is time to move Crabbe out of the starting lineup.

Sheesh Boston is so tough defensively. We've had to grit out nearly every point.
Nets are still keeping it close. hopefully Boston will cool off from 3pt land, right they are 6/9 from deep.

I disagree. The whole offense has been Caris this game. He’s out most conisistent player and Dinwiddie isn’t aggressive enough to be the starter. All he does is stand at the top of the key and pass it to Crabbe/Carroll as they nonchalantly come off screens.
Crabbe is garbage. He’s just so trash. Sooooooooo trash.

The bench turned things around. Led by LeVert. He's been fantastic. Just got Crabbe an easy bucket on a quarter-back like accurate pass when he was cutting to the rim.

We're not disagreeing. LeVert has led the turnaround. I also think Harris is bringing it too, but LeVert is the quarterback.

And you may be right about Dinwiddie. He's too deliberate. Caris looks to penetrate and make the action happen. That way he gets pretty easy shots for his teammates. And he's a team player. He has fantastic attributes and he and RHJ (and Lin) are my favorite players on the team.

Lets not give up on Dinwiddie yet and I don't necessarily want them to throw LeVert off of his groove right now, he hasn't exactly been that great when he has started this season. I think though that swapping out Crabbe at SG when Russell returns is a must.
Joe Harris is playing solid yet again. The bench has kept us in this game.

Re: GT: Nets @ Celtics - New Years Eve, 5:30pm EST
I think Dinwiddie needs to go back to his bench role where he can attach inferior defenders. He can’t get by starters.
Look at what happens the second LeVert goes out. He needs to be starting and playing the most minutes on the team. We’re so much better with him at the point. His struggles were a result of playing on the wing, him and the team are at their best with the ball in his hands.

Acy with a solid knock down bomb and gets a charge.
I love how Shane Larkin all of a sudden becomes this aggressive defender lol. I hate nearly every former Net from the Billy King era outside of Jarrett Jack, Alan Anderson, Mirza, Bojan and Mason Plumlee, among others.

Yeah, Acy has his mojo back. Definitely contributing nicely.
Crabbe still hasn't really got it going.

LeVert went out and we've still kept up pace so far with some solid baskets by Acy and Dinwiddie. The ball is moving against a very tough defensive team who is trapping all of our best players at the top (this is the first time i've seen a team send an extra defender at Hollis-Jefferson). I think your praise of LeVert is 100% valid, but I think guys should have a chance to play through things.

True they struggled without him but played through it.
Look even Dinwiddie is playing better with LeVert on the floor.

Great pick and roll by Dinwiddie and RHJ
yeah I like when Dinwiddie and LeVert are on the floor together. dual ball handler backcourt. we'll have more of that when Russell returns.
