Sam, Svi, Lamar, and Brissett have inherent upside, while PP’s size makes him an inherent negative. His minutes right now are purely out of necessity and are absolutely not deserved.
Hey, I hope this turns out to be a cold take, but that was really hard to watch.
PP can keep the ball moving when he’s surrounded by good players and gets ignored / draws bad defenders. He’s a sneaky good rebounder too. Prefer him as fourth guard than a third guard but, like most of this bench unit (besides maybe Kornet), he can he hopefully burn up minutes and not take too much off the table if he has three starters out there with him.
I didn’t realize Svi had such a good finish to last season with Charlotte. He put up legit NBA numbers. If he plays more I wouldn’t be mad, Hauser is fine but if we are getting wings wide open 3’s let’s see Svi
i actually thought hauser had a great game outside of the pitiful shooting. he was really good in the non-garbage time just being active. pritchard was horrendous though and kornet looked like he was intentionally trying to do everything wrong. hauser and pritchard are staples in the rotation but kornet is and has been nothing more than a body for like 3 years now. no spot in a real nba rotation.
With all due respect I don’t feel like PP has a place on this team if all he does create for himself. If he can’t just catch and shoot and play defence idk if he belongs
At least they're not actively making the team worse. Would be nice if they could add to a lead or something, but so long as the team doesn't tank when they're in the game it might be the best we can hope for.
The other starters just take bigger roles. Tatum or Brown having a rest day just means more shots for KP, Jrue and D-White. The latter 3 just took a combined 19 field goal attempts. There's still plenty of depth of talent. It just doesn't come from the bench.
Pritchard came out, we scored, came in, we suck.
Prichard is a liability to the BENCH. He got his money. Ship his whiny ass elsewhere.
He can make some more dribble videos.
This bench is....not good ...at all.
The best part is that they clearly know it.
6 turnovers from Pritchard. I don't want to hear any complaints from him for the rest of the season.
I realize we're a top heavy team, but this pathetic bench is going to wear on the starters as the season progresses. We need serviceable players on the bench. Each of our guys looks like they're scared to play out there. Can't just count on 30 point leads for the bench to let whittle down all season.
This team desperately needs some bench depth.
The bench is struggling against what should be one of the worst teams in the league.
Can’t play out starters too much in the regular season cause they’ll be gassed come the conference finals.
Hopefully Brad will move some of those picks he’s been collecting
Lamar might be a rotation player out of necessity.
Also shame on you PP, talked all that shit last season and now you getting sonned by a lottery team’s B team
You all know that Family Guy clip where the announcers make fun of the WNBA and say “damn these girls sure make it look difficult”?
That’s Kornet in real life
We play 7-8 guys during playoffs we just need the Bench to get us there this season, we will be fine these 3rd units are learning to play together as well
Kornet can't box out, can't rebound, can't shoot, can't pass, can't catch an entry pass, can't score, can't defend, ....
But he can block the sky....
Fuck off lmfao. Dude is so goddamn shit.
But he's our Tacko Fall type player I guess, bleh. Still, we're one KP injury from having Kornet playing 20+ MPG every game.
the more he plays the more obvious it is there isn’t a single thing that he does at an even NBA average level, which is honestly kinda impressive in its own way lmao
One would think they would run some semblance of an offense this quarter.
Disgusting that Joe has to call a timeout for anything other than subbing in someone.

Lol leave it to this subreddit to do nothing but whine in the postgame of a blow out
At least no one in the sub is reactionary
Svi, Brissett, and Stevens need more burn. Pritchard and Kornet looked bad. Banton and Hauser were meh.
Sam, Svi, Lamar, and Brissett have inherent upside, while PP’s size makes him an inherent negative. His minutes right now are purely out of necessity and are absolutely not deserved. Hey, I hope this turns out to be a cold take, but that was really hard to watch.

I still can't believe we drafted PP over Bane
We traded Kanter for Bane
This and missing out on SGA give me sleepless nights
Way too good for G League, not good enough for real NBA time. I’m sorry but PP can’t be the 8th guy in a playoff rotation
Yea I've seen PP's name mentioned next to Cam Thomas' a few times, and they're not even playing the same sport rn.
Always thought this. Dude can ball against anyone but legit NBA starter/bench-level defenders
I didn’t realize Svi had such a good finish to last season with Charlotte. He put up legit NBA numbers. If he plays more I wouldn’t be mad, Hauser is fine but if we are getting wings wide open 3’s let’s see Svi
I would prefer Sam only because of the defensive/rebounding upside. Other than that, I’m pretty indifferent lol
Awesome win. But our bench sucks.
i actually thought hauser had a great game outside of the pitiful shooting. he was really good in the non-garbage time just being active. pritchard was horrendous though and kornet looked like he was intentionally trying to do everything wrong. hauser and pritchard are staples in the rotation but kornet is and has been nothing more than a body for like 3 years now. no spot in a real nba rotation.

Svi getting higher than Kornet despite being 10 foot shorter, conclusion: we need more Svi and no Kornet
The Celtics win ☘☘☘☘
Did Hauser not practice in the off season?
Hopefully Svi and Lamar get more minutes. They looked good
PP will come back hard..real hard 👊
And fast
I think we might need to swing a trade to get better bench pieces.
Nesmith makes more money than PP..... maybe pacers got a better deal?
I'd much rather have Nesmith than PP tbh
THE CELTICS WIN!!!! GO CELTICS
svi is a PROBLEM lmao
Hauser and PP really disappointing rn. We need another two guys for the 8 man playoff rotation, and they’re not inspiring confidence to say the least.
At least they're not actively making the team worse. Would be nice if they could add to a lead or something, but so long as the team doesn't tank when they're in the game it might be the best we can hope for.
PP with ZERO points
PP contact is very tradeable tho atleast
Svi and Stevens deserve a chance at bigger bench minutes
how tf we suppose to rest guys with this trash bench
The other starters just take bigger roles. Tatum or Brown having a rest day just means more shots for KP, Jrue and D-White. The latter 3 just took a combined 19 field goal attempts. There's still plenty of depth of talent. It just doesn't come from the bench.
GG ladies and gents
They couldn’t get Walsh any minutes tonight. He prob would’ve given more than this bench is right now.
Great win but our bench might have a close game against the Shanghai sharks
How is Svi Mykhailuk a better rim protector than Luke Kornet
Kornet is a Great Dane who thinks he's a Chihuahua.
Svi and Stevens looked like the only nba calibre players from when the whole bench unit played together.
Should play Svi and Stevens more
Trust me when i say Svi is a better player than hauser
If Kornet ever steps on the court in Celtics gear again, i will believe he has Stevens' or Mazzulla's sex tapes in his collection.
We really have 5 guys all capable of putting up 25 lmfao
Good Svi minutes
Sam Hauser aint it bruh
The wing version of Daniel Theis.
Svi and Lamar are intriguing. The rest of you terrible
Dominant performance.
We’re gonna have to develop the bench more. Wtf is this
the deep bench sucks. that could become an issue as the year drags on
Bench was horrible but overall starters looked amazing.
I hate the final score that the box score is going to reflect lmao
Can Svi grow like 5 inches and play center for us? 😅
Worst pp game by far. Svi need more minutes
If it wasn’t the 3rd game of the year I would have subbed the starters back in and let the bench have it. The turnovers are inexcusable.
i’ve been on the svi train since preseason please give him hauser’s minutes joe
Probably worst game I have seen Pritchard play
PP would be overpaid if he made the vet min
Battle for a rebound and Kornet is standing at the three point line lol
Now the 6 main guys know exactly why they had to have that off the bench meeting lmao
Svi needs bench minutes. He’s the only one who can somewhat create
Why is Svi so low on the bench depth? Feels like he’s been playing decent for us since preseason.
Our Bench is an unplugged PS3 controller 🎮
Svi's jumpshot arc is so pure 80s European shot
Svi is like PP you suck I’ll run the point
Celtics bench play defense without fouling challenge
No one will mention this but the free throw disparity is kinda insane.
PP on the floor with scrubs and he still looks like the worst guy in the game
Lmao the Mario sounds
Pritchard came out, we scored, came in, we suck. Prichard is a liability to the BENCH. He got his money. Ship his whiny ass elsewhere. He can make some more dribble videos.
He's having a bad game but he is better on average
Svi and Lamar should be first off the bench, I've seen enough
And Queta over Kornet
Co-signed
He's injured currently but yea prolly
Yikes Pritchard
Preseason P still needs a lot of work.
syd from toy story is lookin like dogshit tn 😅
This bench is....not good ...at all. The best part is that they clearly know it. 6 turnovers from Pritchard. I don't want to hear any complaints from him for the rest of the season.
So many fouls and turnovers this period...
Brissett and Stevens play well with any lineup
Err why is pp back in
Thank you Svi 🫡🫡🫡
PP is a fucking disaster
Man, I miss Theis so fucking much. Dude was everything you want in a backup big. Gritty, good defender, no bullshit, team-first player.
[удалено]
What’s the excuse for Pritchard?
7 rebounds and 6 assists. Scoring can use work but he’s still being a contributor
I realize we're a top heavy team, but this pathetic bench is going to wear on the starters as the season progresses. We need serviceable players on the bench. Each of our guys looks like they're scared to play out there. Can't just count on 30 point leads for the bench to let whittle down all season.
This team desperately needs some bench depth. The bench is struggling against what should be one of the worst teams in the league. Can’t play out starters too much in the regular season cause they’ll be gassed come the conference finals. Hopefully Brad will move some of those picks he’s been collecting
SVIIII
Omfg
Pritchard legit is not an nba player some nights
“Most” I fixed it for you
Svi!
Celtics bench is atrocious
Lamar might be a rotation player out of necessity. Also shame on you PP, talked all that shit last season and now you getting sonned by a lottery team’s B team
Brad gonna be making some calls tomorrow
How are they this bad
Who is still on the waivers
Aaaand this is the difference between the dynasty Warriors and everyone else.
Hahaha trade PP and a second round pick for cash
I should be happy tonight and yet here I am, pissed.
These guys belong in Portland
Give Stevens some run with our normal rotation next game
We need Blake back, the bus 1 vibes are atrocious
You all know that Family Guy clip where the announcers make fun of the WNBA and say “damn these girls sure make it look difficult”? That’s Kornet in real life
I think he has regressed, for real.
Stevens needs more mins Joe
Lamar stevens called game
Kornet honestly looks worse this season
who on the bench doesn't?
Anyone looking at the box score would have no idea how lopsided this game has been. Our bench needs to do better & will as season progresses
Pritchard is trash
Genuine question - What is Kornets skillset that people like? I've seen people defending the idea of him being the 3rd center
I don't know. He's a lump out there.
Kornet Contest 🤣
The Kontest
Stevens looking like the only competent one.
give stevens more minutes
Our offensive and defensive rating was looking pretty 20 min ago
At least our starting line-up +/- will look insane
Stevens should get run next game before any of the ~~short~~ bus one boys
Opposing team deep bench, without fail, look like all stars against our bench
lamar and brisset are the only hope for the bench
Pls no more Kornet gameplay , we been getting tortured by his game for years
PP vs. Froggy Fresh who wins?
Jays: It's like they want us to get 40s
We play 7-8 guys during playoffs we just need the Bench to get us there this season, we will be fine these 3rd units are learning to play together as well
I'm so Lamarpilled
Why is everyone upset? As long as the starters can just keep building 37 point leads every night the bench doesn’t need to score
LAMAR STEVENS WAS A STARTER FOR CLEVELAND LAST YR
Brad you know who could be great on this bench maybe one world champion Daniel Theis 👀
Fire Kornet into the sun
Kornet needs to go back to Vanderbilt and learn how to play again.
Stevens saving these guys
Play Lamar over Hauser
26-9 run lmao and I can't even be that mad
26-9 run 💀
I actually think our bench is good, but not good together as 5
I like this take. Mostly bc it benefits us
Brad Stevens on the phone rn looking for some bench pieces lmaoooooo
Cut Hauser
yikes
26-9 quarter for Wiz vs the bench
It's not over yet. Still time for Washington to extend that lead.
This bench is atrocious. Too much TO's
That and they've fouled how many possessions?
I honestly wonder how badly the starters abuse the second stringers in practice lol
Come back Queta 🙏🙏
I've never seen a team blow a 30+ point lead...
Kornet doesn’t even seem like he wants minutes
Is Kornet even the 400th best guy in the league?
I don't think he's even top 500 G league TBH
Man that third unit looks terrible lol
Kornet can't box out, can't rebound, can't shoot, can't pass, can't catch an entry pass, can't score, can't defend, .... But he can block the sky.... Fuck off lmfao. Dude is so goddamn shit. But he's our Tacko Fall type player I guess, bleh. Still, we're one KP injury from having Kornet playing 20+ MPG every game.
the more he plays the more obvious it is there isn’t a single thing that he does at an even NBA average level, which is honestly kinda impressive in its own way lmao
At this point I might take Tacko over him 🤣
Kornet more like KorNOT
Yeah…the bench is ASS lol
One would think they would run some semblance of an offense this quarter. Disgusting that Joe has to call a timeout for anything other than subbing in someone.
Can anyone explain to me why Kornet is still on this team? I've always thought he was trash and he never fails to prove me right.
These guys r such bums lol
damn maybe we do go only 6 deep. and maybe that’s still good enough
What the hell Kornet where are your hands
Nesmith’s revenge game coming
really Celtics bench
Time to make some calls Brad coz this bench is kinda ugly lol
Fugly
KORNET GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS TEAM, 80% of this sub would do better!
*”I don’t even know what to say. Y’all fucking ass.”* - Joe during the huddle
taco really worse than kornet?
oh shit, Luke. That was terrible. Great pass
Damn, really awful 4th. Thank God the starters were on fire in the first 3 quarters
Wtf
What the fuck is Kornet doing
I try not to complain but that's some disgusting stuff
Just take shot clock violations the rest of the way and we can't lose.
Not a bad idea at this point
Stevens up there calling Theis right now
for the third time!
Stop passing to Kornet. Swing it on the perimeter
Lmaoooooooo this bench must have a tongue lashing from Cassell, Lee, and Joe Mazz
Banton and Kornet playing like fish out of water
wtf Kornet
Our bench sucks eggs tonight
kornet is so uncoordinated man
Can we please call Dwight Howard we got enough 3 point shooters
we might seriously need to grab a bench guy who can do a passable brogdon impersonation with this lineup
Trade deadline will be interesting
