Hmm ... those 4 starting centers left in the playoffs are all small centers.

Dwight Powell
Kevon Looney
Bam Adebayo
Rob Williams

We still need some size and muscle in the post. We are not a good defensive rebounding team and need offensive rebounding as well.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:

Court seems to have a bunch of moisture. Guys going down on both sides on the regular. Hope no one gets hurt. I'm looking at you Tatum's knee

Jayson's knee?

Looks like he's favoring it. Hope he didn't tweak anything

Sorry to keep responding to you, but Big Daddy Al Horford is our true center and he's kinda big by today's standards.

Horford is the best big man left in the playoffs.
Draymond? I guess he isn't a typical big, but he is similarly valuable to Horford despite not scoring much.

Huge few minutes here. Don't let them end the half on a run. Keep it a 25-point lead or around it

Butler can't get anything going. No confidence in his jump-shot. He is just making pointless drives and kickouts for difficult shots for his teammates.

Bad offense.

Or just great D. [dang] this is good

Both for sure. That dodgy jump-shot of Jimmy's is what is forever holding him back from being a genuine superstar. On full display tonight.

Smart and Butler playing next to each other, reminds me of how similar they are.

This Heat team has maximized Butler as much as possible (with 3 point shooters around him), but that is short of getting a star next to him sadly for Butler, which he needs.

Is there ice under that floor?

GWill is having a really difficult time limiting Adebayo on the offensive glass.
he's just not tall enough to keep Bam from going over his back.  TL was just getting moved all over by both Bam and Tucker.  Al's the only one who seems to keep Bam in check

another example of Jaylen's handle being an issue.  not a turnover, but still a problem

Happens every game -- always on edge when he dribbles in the lane.  Reminds me of how I used to feel when Tony Allen handled/dribbled.  Obviously JB makes up for it in huge ways but it is often a journey when he's got the ball.

Horford's presence alone is just HUGE for the C's. Nothing too easy for Bam and Tucker
