Touché. -- Further, Smart doesn't care if he Starts. He's gonna get the minutes, anyway.
Brown, on the other hand, is just now starting to figure out the "Team" ideology.

If Brown wants Front and Center, then Earn it.


Yep--just this past week he was opining on the need to balance playing to win and playing for what is best for him and his family.

Congratulations to Marcus--I hope he can keep bringing what he's brought to the starting lineup so far. Shouldn't really be any reason he can't. Even if his shooting falls off a bit, he's already limiting his shots such that the damage there would be limited.

What's the risk?
I can see Horford moreso not playing in Back-to-Backs, as time goes on.

Not realistic to expect every single wrinkle to have been ironed out over the course of two games. So I'm cool with a 1pt win. Just keep trending in the right direction, and chipping away at that standings gap. Let's have 6.5 games back be our low water mark, with 60 to play.

The stats from recent games say to guard the other players, leave Wiggins wide open and have him shoot all the shots.

Celtics could win by 99 points doing that.

Deng actually played last game. His first positive contribution on a court since 2015?

Jerryd Bayless is their nicest player? He was a good Celtic.



You are entering a new era. Bobby has missed a shot now, things are very different.

But it should be an okay test. Not an actual good team, but at least they're warm.

Let's see what they can do. Continue the efficiency, score 115 or more.

7-2 record since the trade (4-9 before), though you're right the schedule has been on the lighter side. But the only two losses of that stretch were to Memphis and Denver. Minnesota is 9-3 at Target Center this season, while just 2-8 on the road.

I know you guys have talent, but I still like our chances against a team that's 12-10.

Is Tatum aware he still has the shop tag on his jumper?

I don't know about others but I enjoy watching this team more when Baynes gets 20 or more minutes.
