IT is really a 6th man folks. He played out of his mind this season. But now in the playoffs you can separate the starter vs bench player types
If you zero in the bench player types, you can make it real hard for them. Can't go right, streaky shooter, turnover prone, can't create their own shots, size disadvantage etc
You can do your homework all you want on a starter type. they can't be really stopped
Sadly as we can see we don't have 1 starting type player on the court. Maybe except AB who is an elite defender
We really need to nail this offseason and obtain 2 starter type players somehow someway
You don't win 48 games with all bench players.
celtics played out of their mind. We also two strong bench player units. Tahts how we did it
Most teams have good starters to rely on. And at least one or two have to be on the court at all times
celtics on the other hand have 10-11 solid bench players
I'm telling you, we don't have one bonafide starter. Even IT is a top 6th man. Look at what is going on tonight. Take away his left hand. Clog the lane. He has done nothing.
