It s too rigid to employ people! Why don t the Celtics give more time to the substitute center in good shape?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G2, the New York Knicks once again completed a shocking comeback, defeating the Boston Celtics who played at home again 91-90. After this game, the Knicks also unexpectedly won two consecutive away games, and led the defending champion Boston Celtics with a total score of 2-0, gaining an absolute advantage in this round of series.

In this game, although the Celtics lost the game, the team's substitute center Luke Kornet performed quite well, and his effect on the court was also quite outstanding. Cornett played 17 minutes and 38 seconds in the game, made 3 of 4 shots, scored 6 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, and 1 foul. The plus and negative value also reached the highest +11 in the team. Connett has a very good scoring ability and finishing ability at the offensive end, and his offensive efficiency is also worthy of recognition. He also seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. Cornett's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he also showed good rebound protection ability and certain basket protection ability.

The most important thing is that Connet's overall effect on the court is actually very outstanding, and he has played a good effect on both offense and defense. Unfortunately, the problem is that Connet has very limited playing time, and in this case he cannot provide more support to the team. In fact, with both Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis not doing well, the situation for the team could also change dramatically if Cornett gets more playing time.

In the NBA regular season this season, Connet made a total of 73 appearances in 82 games, averaging 18.6 minutes per game, with averaging 6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 1 block, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.8% and a free throw percentage of 69.1%. In the playoffs, Cornet averaged 16.7 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 4.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 63.2% and his free throw percentage was 100%.

Connett was not reused during the playoffs, and his playing time was reduced to a certain extent compared to the regular season stage. His performance was also relatively average and did not have many highlights. Cornet had average results on the court before, and his playing time was limited, which is something that everyone could understand. However, the problem is that Cornet's effect on the court in this game is visible to the naked eye, and the state of Horford and Porzingis and their effect on the court are also visible to the naked eye. It can clearly provide more support to the team, but it cannot get enough playing time. This is enough to show the rigidity of Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla in terms of employment. Please, the whole team's feel is so bad, and I'm still thinking about the whole team's three-point shooting. Isn't this funny? In the next game, the Celtics no longer have a chance to make mistakes again. Will Mazula still stick to his own set of things?
