I wish Brad would experiment more with Tacko on Embid. What the heck, no one else can stop him, at least he has the weight and length to prevent Embid from bulldozing in. Theis, R Williams and even Thompson really are ineffective one on one defending him. Concede the outside 3 pointer; he was hot last game, but so what. It is the season to experiment on stuff like this. Home court advantage this season won't likely be important, even in June.
Trying to contain Embiid with Theis is a recipe for disasterPlay TimelordHope Tatum plays

Hopefully he performs better than he did on Wednesday...
Make Embiid run the whole time he's in there. As Tommy would say "Run, Run, Run!"

Especially with Timelord back, the Celtics have the personnel to do that.Play Thompson/Theis/Timelord each about 16 minutes and go full gas! Pritchard and Walker need to push tempo with the ball. Would be very entertaining .
