IT out, you're the Coach, who do you start today for Game 3?

[ScoobyDoo]

I start the following:
Horford / Jerebko / Crowder / Jaylen / Smart

See if we can make it a defensive battle and I like that Jerebko, Crowder and Jaylen can switch with ease on LeBron and Love. What I mean by that is, we will always be at a disadvantage against LeBron and we don't really have a good cover for Love either. That said, there is no meaningful difference to me between Jerebko, Jaylen or Crowder guarding either guy, so in theory we can switch with more ease and hopefully have fewer situations with Horford or Johnson on LeBron in an ISO.

I also like Olynyk, Johnson, Green, Bradley and Rozier off the bench. Bradley brings a little offensive punch to that second unit.

We very likely lose the next two regardless but you have to try, what would you do? 

[Roy H.]

Horford / Crowder / Jaylen / AB / Smart

Horford / Crowder / Jaylen / AB / Smart

Yeah, I will be disappointed upset if this is not the line-up. I mean, Green was able to knock down a couple of 3s to start Game 2, but that wasn't exactly the answer.

It's Jaylen time as far as I'm concerned.

Horford / Crowder / Jaylen / AB / Smart

TP! You start your best 5 ^^^^^

Unfortunately it sounds like Stevens is going to stick with Amir Johnson. I hope he changes his mind and puts Brown out there with Smart, Horford, Crowder , and Bradley.

[hodgy03038]

D.Jackson, Rozier, Young, Mickey & Zeller

We catch them by surprise and they are laughing so hard that they make mistakes. Then at the 7 minute mark we are down by 20 we bring in the tough guys.

We win by 1 on a James Young 3 in the corner.

Maybe he plans on having Amir give a few hard fouls to Lebron and then subbing in Brown first off the bench.

Hope Jaylen sees a lot of minutes.  Crazy to see how much size/athleticism impacts a guy's ability to compete with the best.  Aside from the occasional diamond in the rough, you really do need top draft picks at this level.  I think he'll go for 20+ tonight.

At this point Jaylen has played himself into the starting five.

At this point Jaylen has played himself into the starting five.

yes he has, he played har a couple days ago in the face of what was otherwise a disgraceful game 2.

And getting him experience is more important than playing vets who will likely be gone in a year or two.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Here's how I want us to start in Game 3.

Avery Bradley
Jaylen Brown
Jae Crowder
Kelly Olynyk
Al Horford

I want Kelly in there to add another player who can pass and stretch the floor for, wait for it...

Jaylen Brown.

I want Jaylen Brown to run pick and rolls plays, get him to attack the basket. I want to see him as the main offensive weapon. I want him to get the ball, a ton, from this point moving forward.

We're literally playing with house money now, nothing to lose other than more embarrassment, it's time to find out what this kid has in him.

[kraidstar]

D.Jackson, Rozier, Young, Mickey & Zeller

We win by 1 on a James Young 3 in the corner.

TP

I like this option too!

At least we'd come out playing hard.
