Limiting Bam feels like the key. Yes, Butler is their alpha and he'll get his, but if Bam also dominates and impacts the game we usually suffer. He had 20/8/5 in Game 1, then 22/17/9 in Game 2. Butler and Bam were meh in Game 3 BUT their role players all looked like Steph Curry so that negated things. Bam was extremely ordinary in Game 4 though and we won by 17, despite Butler having 29/9.
It's not just the scoring, but if Bam can control the paint on both ends and also facilitate freely, it just makes life a lot harder. Horford unfortunately doesn't seem like a good matchup against Bam. He's good against Giannis/Embiid, not Bam though. Timelord and G-Will are going to have to help a ton.
Call me crazy but I don't see why Muscala can't get some minutes either. He's a stretch big who can shoot, and if Horford's shot isn't falling then maybe Muscala can help. Really not sure why we traded for him if we just aren't going to use him at all this postseason, and even the final stretch of the regular season.
