On the offensive end Bogut, Ezeli and Green are all fantastic rim protectors! For the Celtics or any team for that matter to beat them you must pull them away from the hoop and force them to defend out near the 3 pt. line in order to gain access to the hoop. Sully, Amir, K.O. and Jerebko need to be able to hit shots from the outside for this to happen. This would allow I.T., Turner and others to attack the paint and specifically Curry. Make him work hard on every possession on the defensive end, post him up, beat him up and attempt to get him in foul trouble.
On the defensive end the Celtics are one of the best teams in the league at defending the 3 pt. line and you absolutely must do so against the warriors obviously! The bigs must allow the guards to do so by rotating effectively, aggressively attacking Curry off the pick and roll and relying on rotations to cover for them. Create havoc and try to turn them over by jumping passing lanes. Double team Curry a lot and force him to give up the ball. Let others try to beat you. You need speed and intelligent defenders on the perimeter and the Celtics have as much of it as anyone. With that said it is a ridiculous task to try to accomplish and I can't wait to see what Brad has conjured up!
Please no David Lee tonight as inserting him into the lineup is just playing right into their hands making life much easier for them on both ends of the floor!
