My guess is mostly that is Joe wants to keep PP and his high energy coming off the bench.

BUT... I do think there is a little truth to the Idea that If Joe starts PP and PP and the starters excel together, there might be a controversy about PP becoming a starter.

well, that is my conspiracy theory of the day .. so..

I think that if both PG's are Out, then you might have to Start Pritchard.
Then again, there's no one behind Pritchard.

That's where I want to see a triple big lineup of KP, Al, Q, JB, and JT.

Tatum and Brown can bring the ball up. Actually, Horford has done it, too.

Yeah, that's why I'm hoping Joe tries that triple big lineup, even just for a few minutes.

IDK about the 3 Centers. But you might get Tillman in there.

It would really give the Celtics a big boost if Q continues to play well.

Q could be the difference between a series going 5 or 7 games.

If Q develops and able to produce in the playoffs, we can expect another 16-3 playoff and finals run.

I like seeing Queta Starting.
Let him get used to that.

Jerseys look like amateur leagues or something. Slamball-ish.

I could make good money off the Celtics but I can’t bring myself to bet on them. Sad days.

JT hasn’t scored yet but is responsible for 7 of the 9 Cs pts.

Cs inside presence is just better since Q started playing a lot more.

The rim protection is better and the inside scoring is also more productive.

Queta keeps improving in the areas people said he was weak at. All due to GAME experience. Somehow, I feel many just don't realize how BIG that is to improving.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
