Rotating Celtics: Who Plays and Who Sits?…
So there’s this thing called NBA Playoffs, and apparently, it’s a bit important. We all know winning and losing boils down to whether those magical orange spheres go in or out of the hoop. While our dear coaches can’t control the laws of physics, they do get to play god with the lineup. So, who’s on the court for the Celtics? Enter Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis—shooters of the ‘do-whatever-they-want’ club. Then we’ve got Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Payton Pritchard in the ‘strategically play but don’t burn out’ club. And the rest? Well, let’s just say they’re auditioning daily.
Let’s chat about Holiday and Pritchard. Some say Pritchard might steal Holiday’s thunder, but let’s not hold a parade just yet. Pritchard, the fearless floor spacer, can light up scoreboards but can also be as chilly as a New England winter. Toss him against league beasts like Garland or Mitchell, and you might need an extra coffee. Holiday, being the dependable chameleon, will need a magic potion to fix that shaky three-point aim and close those tight games.
Meanwhile, Boston’s center room is a Jenga tower built in Pompeii circa 79 AD—just waiting for Mt. Vesuvius to clear its throat. Luke Kornet’s having a career season but don’t get your popcorn ready for the Kornet Show unless Porzingis takes a sick day. Then there’s the wingmen club starring Hauser, who’s embraced his 8th-man status. Throw Baylor Scheierman into the mix and you’ve got enough intrigue for a slightly below-average Netflix series. Hey, maybe someday.
