Here comes the scary time. How long will Brad go to his bench? Shouldn't be long, I know that. And there should be some starters on the floor regardless. There is ZERO reason to play whole bench units in this game.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

At least our starters are shooting well.

Olynyk is still a worthless POS. A 7ft shooting big man who can't make open shots. Wonderful.

Olynyk is playing just fine!!! You're cool if you blame Isaiah instead, lol.

Some Q1 notes:

-- Early jitters were likely even had there not been a tragedy.
-- By the halfway mark of the quarter, the Cs had 5 TOs, a couple of missed FTs, and 17 points nonetheless.
-- Maybe Kelly should hesitate more on open shots? :)
-- Lots of scrambling for rebounds on both sides. Getting a lot of ORs and then missing the follows like that is OK; it's just part of active play.
-- Good call by Mike re the RoLo threat.

Don't understand why we aren't making them pay for that.

Zeller and KO remind me of those heavyweight journeyman who take beatings from up-and-coming boxers fattening up their record

Shorten the rotation. Horford should come back in right away. He doesn't have foul issues.

A lot of our trouble has come from offensive rebounds unsurprisingly.

We shut Butler down, we win this. And good defense so far.

That and offensive rebounds

Zeller was an unstoppable shooter his first few games with the Cs.

Shorten the rotation, Brad. This is the playoffs.

And from what I see so far, our bench is scared to take a shot.
