Love the fact that we have Smart and AB to cover Wall and Beal.

Who do we hide IT on?

Don't like Green vs Morris matchup, maybe start Jerebko

I'd like to see JJ start. Green is too small, because Morris will take advantage of a size mismatch that Mirotic never would.

As for IT, I wonder if they'll try and hide him on Porter and give Wall to AB and Beal to Crowder. Porter doesn't seem like an iso-heavy guy that would attempt to take advantage of that matchup.

Green has provided a nice spark for us offensively.  I'm tempted to give it a try and force Morris to beat us.  Green also lets us switch almost everything defensively, which is ideal against the bullets.

Green will remain at the starting lineup as long as  the matchup dictates.

I would think Amir starts? If IT is on Porter, I hope we don't get killed on the boards. Porter is a very active body and could keep a bunch of possessions alive for them with his activity.

I say Green also

But Amir should play more mins in that series

Gortat is going to be a pain in the butt....... Hopefully Horford can do the same to him that he did to Lopez

  • The Truth
one thing to take away from the first round, is that we cannot let the 1 - 3 pick get switched so easily. Butler got the IT switch on will and at times just dribbled into it right away after the half court line, imagine lebron doing the same thing.
it is a whole different animal and match up with the wizards and a ball dominant guard in Wall, so basicly, Avery and Smart will be key guys for the Celtics, and team wise it will be pick and roll defense and rebounding of course.
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

John Wall has a 6'9'' wingspan, 8'5'' standing reach, and is a legit 6'4'' tall. He has skills and speed. Though IT has the advantage from 3, it is scary to imagine them matched up together because IT is the only legit creator on our team.

IT really needs to shoot the hell out of the 3 in this series. That would be huge.

IT on Wall
Bradley on Bradley
Green on Porter
Crowder on Morris
And
AL on Gortat
Wall uses speed more than post ups...
