I think that it may be more, that we need to keep the continuity with Pritchard as the PG off the Bench?

Pritchard is a three-point shooter who's shooting 36.9% from the three. He's just not very good.

TIL that shooting ~37% from three is "not good"

Pritchard is ok to play in the rotation during the regular season but he's not a rotational player in the POs. Hauser I feel has the ability to be but I haven't seen enough improvement in other areas besides his 3 point shooting. I think Tillman is going to be the 8th man by the start of the POs.

Hauser has been very good on D tonight but then again the Nets suck.

Yeah. But, his role has changed. He's not as much the 4th PG/3pt shooter.
Now, he's more the 2nd/3rd PG. Less need for the 3.

Although, PP remains about 40% Career, from 3.

IDK. I Agree with Fencer. Hauser and Pritchard are 7th/8th, in no particular order.

I love these free easy wins. For the longest time it felt like the Celtics were playing elite teams only

Real Nets showed up today.

This is why they're 21-32 for the season.

You can see Walsh's potential on defense.

It's going to be one intense training camp next season with Springer and Walsh fighting for a spot in the rotation.

That's because he started the season slow.

Other than 3 games in Oct, Feb is Pritchard's worst shooting month in the year. His best was Dec. He's been up and down but mostly hovering around that 37% aka league average mark.

He's 0.2 above league average. When that's the main thing you're known for and what team asks of you to be, not good enough. Hauser is at least consistently in the 40s while bringing it on defense.
