I think Pritchard can potentially end up being as good as House. He's not too far off. But he is not better IMO..

Pritchard was in and out of the rotation throughout the season. In the playoffs he was hot and cold, often times was hunted on switches. And was a complete non-factor in the NBA finals. Compare that to House, who was in the rotation all year when we won the 2008 title, he was much more consistent (in both reg season and in playoffs), he was much less of a defensively liability and he performed well in the NBA finals.

Can be better is the understatement of the year. PP can do whatever House can do and add more creativity. a steady role a PP Blows One dimensional House away. House was also a veteran while PP in his second year with a new coach who cut off his balls throughout the year..

IN MY OPINION, when it is all said and done PP will be way better than House. Probably not in Boston.

Eddie House had 38.5 vertical leap. can PP do that? lmao.

Eddie house has the same amount of NBA dunks as I have.. So PP already has more dunks than us Both..

Eddie House put up 7-8ppg in 19 minutes on 39% shooting for 3. I think PP can do that and be a little better playmaker. As a specialist, however, on a stacked team…..Eddie was the best. Pure energy and ready to go the second he stepped on the court. Not everybody can come in cold and light it up like Eddie. I thought Carson Edwards could be the next Eddie but he needed high usage to get into the zone.

Lost in the TJ McConnell comparisons is TJ is a guy who in Philly and Indy both saw his minutes go way down once playoffs hit. If his teams made it any further they likely would have decreased even more. We need guys who can be counted on in later rounds not just regular season games.

I included White even though he started but he could come off the bench if we have everyone healthy and they go back to last year's starting five.

Not included above are Grant, Brogdon, and Gallo (if and when he comes back). This team has a lot of weapons and if they continue to play the right way, anyone is a threat to score/contribute at least in the regular season.

This is our best bench unit since... ??

Legit 12-deep for the regular season if completely healthy. With a former #1 as 13th man and former lottery pick as 14th man.

The last championship squad had Brian Scalabrine as 13th man, who's a great comparison to present-day Blake Griffin.

But these guys are somewhat better, even though Posey/House/T. Allen/Powe/Cassell was a nice group too.

He hasn't even played/played well but I'm feeling pretty good about the status of my "PP is just as good or better than..." debates from the off-season.

I've been harping on this. Pritchard is a good guy to have. He helps you get through the season, but he just doesn't profile as someone who's going to be able to play regular playoff minutes. AND THAT IS OK. Regular season rotations are longer than playoff rotations for most teams.

It's amazing to have Payton Pritchard, as our 11th player.

He gave us some good minutes in the last post-season.
If it gets to a point where our shortened rotation squeezes him out in the next Playoffs, then so be it.

Luke has played 165 minutes this season, which is 5 x 31. So pretend he played starter's minutes for 5 games, and look at his total stats -- they aren't bad at all.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kornelu01.html

E.g., he'd have 10 ppg on high efficiency, 2.6 bpg, 3.2 offense rebounds per game, and so on.

The big "yes, but" -- other than sample size -- is that, on average, he's played against weaker opposition than a starter would.

Brown is averaging 26.1 efficient points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. When he’s on the floor and Tatum is off, the Celtics are outscoring teams by 10.1 points per 100 possessions this season. Brown has been dominant (+17.1) with the Sam Hauser-Grant Williams-Malcolm Brogdon lineup that Tatum wipes opponents off the floor with (+32.9).

These two things are related. Props to our stars for the growth in their mentality from two or three years ago. Brad was trying to install this type of offense but Cs needed their top guys to mature for his vision to come to fruition.

Kyrie had a quote about it when he was in Boston but he was all talk.

The bench was pretty bad in the 4th last night. lol.

But that is ok, that crew that washington had on the floor pushes hard? And our guys kind of let off the gas a bit.

Mentally there is a Big difference coming in with a deficit vs a Big lead. A Big lead causes a low down and a stagnate offense. I am not worried. They are still the GOAT 2nd and 3rd units ever!!
