I disagree. He has earned the right to start and balance this team. If Bledsoe wants to get time playing at all, he better start with energy and defense coming off the bench; or else someone else will.

Hart has earned his right to start.

Hart has been playing out of position his whole career. I liked what he brought today as a 2. Small sample but he a Zo applying pressure up top we’re critical in getting the team back in the game. Also, getting 12+ rebounds from your backcourt is winning basketball.

I hope that lead ref lost whatever money he had on the game.

That fricker was off his rocker all night. It was him that missed most of the obvious foul calls (like the Hart drive late), it was him that threw JJ out, it was him that had to have replay overturn his two out of bounds calls that he somehow missed, it was him that blew the Kemba "foul". And he was the closest on most of the atrocious shite in the first half, like when Theiss tripped Brown and got a foul out of it.

The NBA should have Tim Donaghy, Jr skip a week or two.

Agreed. I'd love to see him start. It'd be different if him and Bledsoe were playing on an even level and you give the edge to Bledsoe bc of his 3 point shooting. But Hart is always giving quality minutes and Bledsoe looks like he doesn't care. Even if his shooting isn't where you'd like it to be, his D, hustle, and rebounding gives him the edge.

Unless Bledsoe is about to get traded. We all think that he'll have more value in the offseason, but maybe Griffin is tired of his poor play and dumps him now.

Otherwise, yeah, start Josh Hart in his place.

Bledsoe and 2 2nds for Barton and Dozier. Who says no?

The Pels really need two of Lonzo, Bledsoe, Zion, and BI on the court at all times to initiate the offense.

Someone has to step up because the offense is struggling when we don’t have two ball handlers on the floor.

That’s why I really like the idea of moving Bled to the bench.

I know it won’t happen probably, but from a synergy perspective it makes too much sense.

Bledsoe gives the bench a vet ball handler and clarified his role as a lead guard off the bench instead of being one of 4 mouths to feed in the starting line up.

LOL. "Brad Stevens" is trending on Twitter, with Celtics fans calling for him to be fired. I love it.

I would send SVG and two seconds for Brad Stevens.

Bled just seems like he couldn’t give a shite about the game same with Lonzo. The team needs the fire that Hart has...Zion seems to want to go off too. A little more fire would do the team wonders imo.

Why does it matter if he "starts" as long as he is getting the quality minutes we need. Rarely does the team start out flat. Keep him coming off the bench for 30+ minutes a game.

For me it’s simply a fit thing.

Right now you basically have 4 guys that operate best with the ball in their hands, or think they do.

While we basically have one offensive creator off the bench, Kira, and he is more like a 8th man at this point. Not necessarily getting consistent minutes.

Moving Bled to the bench to me would balance out things a lot nicer.

Don’t see them doing it unless the starting unit outright falls apart, but I think it makes a lot of sense.

Not sure why the 2 2nds are needed. If Pels feel Dozier can be a solid defender off the bench, it would be a decent trade. If he is just a throw-in, not sure Barton does much for me.

Because there's no way the Nuggets do it without the 2nds. They would need value to take on Bledsoe.

Highly doubt that. The only reason they would even make the trade is if they think Bledsoe helps them win. They are not in a position to take on a contract just to gain 2 2nds.
