That's pure conjecture, the Celtics bench has a positive differential. Indiana, whose bench/role players you talked up so much the other day, actually has a negative point differential.im a celtic fan since 1982
if boston wins the east it just shows how absolute shit the conference is and one of the reasons i could not pass up indy +10000 to win the east, great plus money hedgeable if they get to the conference semi finals
without the 2016 cavs team, the entire east is shit compared to prior years. the cs did pick up monroe, who is more of an insurance policy to morris, but you know that a conference is absolute garbage when two 6 4, sub 40 percent shooters are the main, if not only, contributors off your bench.
eddie house was a 40 percent shooter but was one of six guys coming off the 2008 celtics bench putting in a mere 15 min a game whereas rozier and smart are both close to 30.

I can't see how you can watch Celtics games, as a fan nonetheless, and not think Rozier is a great back up. Look at what he did in Kyrie's absence
3 games, 19.7 ppg, 8 rpg, 5.7 apg with ONLY 1.7 turnovers per game. The Celtics were 3-0 in that span, winning by a total of 40 combined points. In those 3 games, Rozier was +70 in point differential when he was on the court LOL. Even last night in a bad team effort, he still managed to put up 18 points in 24 minutes
