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.

Supposedly we signed Thompson to defend guys like Embiid. Hopefully he performs better than he did on Wednesday...

Trying to contain Embiid with Theis is a recipe for disaster

Play Timelord

Hope Tatum plays

It worked in the playoffs.   

Try to make Embiid more active when he is on defense.  Wear him down for the 4th quarter. 

And please try not to foul him so much.

Keep trying the same thing and expect a different result, you mean.

Definition of insanity.

Make Embbid run the whole time he's in there. As Tommy would say "Run, Run, Run!"

He got totally sonned last Wednesday, Embiid treated him like a rag doll.

That would be a good strategy. 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   :D.

Let's go Celtics. I wonder if Marcus Smart calling out the fouls for Joel Embiid will make a difference.
