with 1 oclock start i hope so
the idea of using isaiah as sixth man might be prudent,
 he would eat up washingtons 2nd team
 it would allow our defense to get first punch
great defense intensity to start as most offenses need some time to get loosened up-
this lineup and could confuse may alter their game plan as there will be no isaiah to expose
smart,avery, crowder,horford  and amir(green,jaylen)
this is still is a good blend of defense and offense
we might knock back beal and wall and not be out rebounded to compensate for isaiahs offense
if avery is hitting, he is one of those that starts strong because as game wears on, the energy he uses on defense takes its toll use marcus at point or rozier

the 2nd team isaiah, marcus/rozier, kelly, green/jaylen and jerebco/zeller could be quite effective and take some pressure off isaiah till 4th quarter
another thought if washington comes out too physical try and get gortat in foul trouble by feeding horford in low post
morris is the guy that scares me-he is a tough guy nothing fancy but effective
it seems brad has a myriad of options
who says coaches in playoffs don't coach
playoff basketball is grueling with its fair share of injuries and the strength of celtics bench is important in this match up
hope isaiah had a private jet back to logan

I also suggested using IT as a sixth man in the PFs thread.  Not only will it take some pressure of IT after an emotional trip back home, it will also help neutralize their backcourt by starting Marcus Smart.  Wiz don't have a great bench, and IT could feast on them.

Who scores? The offense is 14.4 points per 100 possessions better with IT on the floor.

The last thing we want is to start the game with a huge deficit. I get the sentiment here, but my guess is that the best thing for IT is to normalize things as much as possible.

IT is from Washington State.
The Wizards play in Washington DC.

(Sorry if I misread what you are saying here.)
EDIT: Yep, I didn't know all of the facts here. TP to Suferdad.

IT flew back home after Game 6 to attend his sister's funeral, and will fly to Game 1 after (which of course is in Boston).

It's the playoffs it's not like there should be any 2nd team at all unless a team is up big. Teams should be focused on playing their top 8 players.
C's
Guards=IT, AB, Smart
Fowards=Crowder, Green, JJ
Bigs=Horford, KO

Wiz
Guards=Wall, Beal, Jennings
Fowards=Porter, Bog, Oubre
Bigs=Morris, Gortat

Seriously. Did anyone really think Ainge and Thomas would be doing their best impression of Candy and Martin?

Not sure, but in the post-game presser,Horford said he flew back to Chicago and traveled with the team back to Boston. The Seattle-Chicago leg could have been a charter.

He said he got in around 4am. First one threw the door.
