QuoteAtlanta is a deeper team and they present some major matchup issues for the Celts, but the Celts would have the best player in that series, which is always preferable.With our present makeup most teams, present matchup issues for us, PhoSita.Ainge needs to get another legit big in the offseason.

But they are clowning us.We desperately need both: another player that can create their own offense/score AND a legit sized CENTER(preferably with a minimum 7'3'' wingspan and 9'2'' standing reach) But as far as ROI(Return on Investment), before the trade deadline, we would have been better off renting a Center(contract up at end of season) or trading for a Center on a rookie contract. Horford is our most effective big in the playoffs and he only has a 7' wingspan and 8'11'' standing reach. He would be fine as a 4 but when he plays the 5 and we are already giving up a ton of length in the back-court, well we get clowned. Our all around lack of length and size allows the Bulls' back-court to jump in the unclogged paint and get tip ins/rebounds/2nd chance points. While the Bulls' front-court outrebounds us with their size/length.
Keeping in mind the performance of our bigs vs Chicago, I'll pick Washington. A motivated Howard and Millsap is probably asking too much of our cream-puff brigade up front. But either way it's a 6 or 7 game series.
