Maybe they should have saved some of that to use in the 4 losses?

I can see if it was a big team like bucks with giannis\lopez

but how the f*ck do you start horford\rob against a team like warriors that loves to spread the floor and shoot threes all day

i don't want to see that shit again. Put Grant at the four, Tatum at the four, White at the four. Anybody but slow witted Rob.

The good news is I don't see Jaylen Brown having a 44% TS again any time soon. He might actually knocks the warriors ass out in the 1st half like he did against bucks in game 2.

When did Horford & Williams become bad defenders?

he's not a traditional point guard. he is a natural 3 and d guy who passes from time to time.

He is actually neither.

He is a combo guard who can do a little bit of everything on the offensive side of the ball, but isn’t really above average at anything offensively.

He excels defensively and that is where he earns his minutes.

Horford and Williams are both very good defenders.

But I actually agree that this matchup isn’t very good for Robert Williams. Celtics going small might play into the Warriors hands a bit, but I think it is something they might need to try.

I mean i did say Williams won't be a big factor in this series since Looney isn't someone the warriors go to BUT making crazy changes after you stole HCA isn't smart and just seems like a panic decision.

don't rely on flukes like game 5 bucks or game 6 heat.

Even with a record of 5-4, celtics are a +50. That should tell you something.
Tells me you're worried

it's not about defense. It's mostly about offense and spreading the floor. Horford isn't a natural floor spreader and Rob is a black hole, so those two don't give the spacing that is needed in this era. That's like 1999-2004 nba level spacing right there.

I also don't trust Rob guarding shooters on switches. Most of celtics wins these playoffs have came when he played very little or didn't play at all.

i was saying not to start rob\al in game 2 even after the game 1 win. But i knew they would because they won.

It does.

It tells me that if the game is close, the Celtics are likely to choke.
