According to Brad Amir will start game 5

Thoughts?

Brad's dimwitted identical twin has seized control of the team at an extremely inopportune time.

Plot twist: we're all dimwits.

Keep calling heads, it's bound to turn up eventually.

Ok...that's weird...but we'll still win in 6.

EEEEEYYYYY

Brad to Scott Brooks--

"Here's how I'm gonna play, it's how I've played all year, and I dare you to beat me"

ride the guys that got you there.

shows confidence.

dont agree with it but I imagine this is what hes going for. Tryna be Terry Francona out there.

so I feel kinda stupid now.

Maybe Brad knows best.

I'm glad I said this... I wish I hadn't used the maybe...

After letting this resonate for a day, it's starting to make a lot of sense.  Amir admittedly looks like he's on his last legs, a shot boxer.  But this move may be brilliant. 

The Wiz have demonstrated a consistent issue with watching the paint dry in the middle, if you know what I mean.  Markieff and Gortat are solid defenders, but get caught up on double screens for open lay-ups.  Why?  Believe it or not, it's the well-timed maneuver of the PF: Hard step to the baseline, only to shoot back outside to free space for an IT-Crowder finish (dunk you very much).  Nobody has made this maneuver more successfully than Amir in the past 10 seasons (per bball-ref). If he has a few more plays left, I think Brad finally cracked the code.. just in time to save the series.



Fellow Celtic fans, welcome to the ECF.

Brad and I were on the same page.  Picket Fence worked to a T this game.  Goodnight, Wash.

Good Lord, Brad.

Brad's a genius.

[KGs Knee]

Well, Amir picked a fantastic time to have his best game in months.

Gotta give Brad credit I guess for sticking to his guns, it paid off.

I'm worried about Amir being able to duplicate this effort, though.

Outstanding.

I'm predicting that this will go down as a bad decision.

So I was wrong too, but I'm glad about it. If Amir could consistently play like this, that would be awesome.

As others have noted, Brad might've hit on something with running the offense through Horford, and also with using Jaylen Brown as a defensive disruptor.
