All 5 guys in the game right now have contributed in meaningful mins this season and will be needed to play meaningful mins again this season.

So Joe is prioritizing them.

These 5 guys getting reps right now could result in us winning a game later in the season. Walsh getting reps. right now won't win us a game later in the season because clearly, he likely won't play meaningful mins this season.


I’ve never heard or seen Peterson before and he’s getting run before Walsh

No idea who that guy in 13 even is. How did he get a decent number as a two way?

Interesting that Peterson was ahead of Walsh on the depth chart.

Well he's like 26 and has 5 years of college ball under him. It makes sense that Peterson is more likely to get real minutes this season.

Last 2 games felt like home games.

A lot of Celtic fans in California.

Yup. This is why we signed him. Gotta keep giving him mins..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I wouldn't read much into it other than trying to get the new guy some run.

Peterson is like a 26 year old already. 5 year college player. I want to see Walsh, but it's nice to see Drew have a couple nice plays. He's a great passer, and shooter. Could stick with the team and come in handy if there is a trade.

Look at the Celtics losses this season. Overtime on the road to the warriors, overtime on the road to the wolves, overtime on the road to the hornets, missed wide open Porzingis three to tie on the road against the Sixers, haliburton going wild down the stretch in a close loss to the pacers on the road, and the only real dud was on the road against the Magic.

Celtics should have won all 3 overtime games but kind of blew them. Had control most of the game against the pacers. The Sixers game, the jays played their worst game by far together this season and still had a chance to tie, the magic game momentum was lost once Porzingis left the game when the Celtics were up 1 and then they went on a run.

I wore 13 when I played and won a ton of games!
Although I did have quite a few stacked teams! :lol:

If this team plays like this...?? Queta stepping in and being a physical force and rebounding...and now Oshea is gonna start hit his jumpers again??

What do we need? Do we even need to make a trade? After the Laker game our schedule gets tremendously easier. Seriously. After the Christmas game our schedule for pretty much the rest of the way is LAUGHABLE. We've done our hard work early. That was a smoking hot Clippers team we just played that had won 8 in a row and we blew their doors off.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Namaste....

Now, we know why they call them The Paperclips...
That was some pathetic play from a team that won 9 in a row.
I mean "Really?"

Drew's shot and follow through are Christmas Ribbon candy sweet.

Davidson can't shoot or defend at the NBA level.
I just dislike the guy from a talent standpoint.

Queta, you Magnificient Bastard - proved so many of us wrong.

Fantastic play from so many and PP, those who say he's not a PG - guy has really really improved.

They won for Wyc, Sitcom Star....

Had to look thru who wore #13 in Celtic History, not going back to pre Bird.
Charlie Smith
Rickey Green
Todd "Raining all" Day
Dontae Jones
Damon Jones
Dana Barros
Mike James
Lebrons Step father Delonte West

Though Speaking of which any recent updates on D West has he cleaned himself up?
