Have Sully come off the bench. 

Yeah, his play has dropped off some at the wrong time too.

I assumed it meant adjustment.  As in, make this adjustment, KO starting and Rozier on Schroeder.

that may be it, but adj is not like a common abbreviation for adjustment hahah

Why is this such a big deal? lol ADJ was short for adjustment, its fairly common actually:

but usually adj stands for adjective

I mean, its listed as the 11th ADJ just between administration of justice and the Australian dental journal.

Agreed. Not very common and glad it took several sarcastic responses to clear up that legitimate confusion.

On to the other topic at hand, while adjustments should be made within games and series, I think about Ainge's comment about getting easily knocked out of our game and wonder if changing the rotation too much is an example of this. I like our backcourt's defense as currently constructed; it's offense we need to worry about and more Rozier does not give us an advantage in that aspect. Also, part of why Kelly has been so effective is that he's usually going against second unit defenders and we absolutely need his scoring in this series.

Playoff basketball and regular season basketball are two different animals. Making adjustments(is that what ADJ meant because I never heard of that before) before a playoff series even begins based on a late regular season game is asinine. Roll out your usual starters and rotation, have faith in them, get the low down on how Atlanta is going to do things for the series, and if necessary make adjustments accordingly. Frankly, I don't see starters being changed or inexperienced rookies getting time being an adjustment. I think the adjustment will come in the form of players' minutes being changed and rotations being played with.

Revolutionary thinking. So crazy, it just might work.

Sully vs Millsap =  A key reason why we will lose this series

Also Rozier better equipped to guard Schroder from the 2nd unit

Which is why I'd put the more athletic and mobile Amir on Millsap, and the.slower but more physical Sully on Horford.

Thats what happened part of last game. It's still bad news.  You got amir trying to go through pnr and defend Millsap out to the 3 pt line. Or have will drive past him

Horford has size/reached adv over sully. Is quicker also. Who do you think will win that matchup like everytime

Amir on Horford, KO on Millsap is much better imo

And it doesn't matter what KO can do against the 2nd unit, bc sully can prob do a equally decent job.  The key thing is, we need to slow down Millsap and also Schroder

Why do ppl say why start Rozier?? Schroder comes off the bench

[Donoghus]

Why do ppl say why start Rozier?? Schroder comes off the bench

Because of the way you worded your title and the absence to really clear anything up in your OP on the subject.

I have no problem with Amir defending P&R or defending Millsap's quickness.  He's the best big we have in terms of both P&R D and in terms of lateral quickness, so if anybody on this team can defend Millsap it's going to be Amir...followed by maybe Jerebko.  Sure as hell won't be Sully, who is probably the worst perimeter/ P&R defender we have.

I also completely disagree with what you say about Horford.  Sully is 6'9" with a 7'1" wingspan and Horford is 6'10" with a 7'1" wingspan.  They are as close as you can possibly get to having identical height and length.  After the last game i all struggle to believe Horford is any qicker, since he looked god-awful in the last game and moved like a 70 year old pensioner with arthritis in his knees.  Sully looked at least as mobile (if not more mobile) all night.   And none of this matters if Horford plays like he did during that matchup, where his entire offensive game was chucking up threes and midrange jumpers and he showed zero interest in scoring ( or even just getting) anywhere near the basket.

Im pretty ok with using a rotation of Amir/Jerebko/Crowdet on Millsap, and Sully/Olynyk/Zeller on Horford.

Im also happy with Thomas/Bradley/Rozier covering Teague/Scroeder and Smart/Crowder/Turner covering Korver.

We really have no problems matching up with Atlanta.  At the end of the day the team that wants it more (and plays like it) is gping to be the one who wins the series.

It's probably the best answer too, but it is hardly a match up that I expect us to win much.  Horford usually gets the better of him, but occasionally Jared wins it.

Part of me, think Sully might be nursing an injury presently.   Most all his stats are down.
