Game 3- who should start instead of Amir? (Poll)

[footey]

I expect Amir to still start.  He has a good game in him.

Start Brown, play Rozier, Smart, Olynyk off the bench. I wouldn't play anyone except those 8 unless you needed Jerebko because of foul trouble or put Green in for a couple of minutes to give someone a breather.

I know this won't ever happen and may be viewed as stupid but to start the game I would have IT sit.  Play your best defensive team for the start of the game (maybe only 5 minutes) then mix and match after that with IT.  Amir should not play again in the playoffs period.
Smart or Roz vs Wall
AB vs Beal
AL vs Gortat
JJ or JB , best defender vs Porter
JC vs Morris

No mismatches early, we hopefully don't get in a hole early and we can insert IT any time in the first quarter if the offense isn't clicking.   He is going to log big minutes anyway the rest of the game.

  I'm sure the Wizard fans would love that idea. I think the Wiz should sit Wall, because it's obvious he can't guard Isaiah, even with help!!

Remember when we gave early minutes to Jaylen Brown in the game 2 against Chicago ? He did a LOT of defensive mistakes and I don't think he can start aganst the Wiz. He was good provinding some minutes while starters rest, it's good like that.

I think KO is very precious off the bench to give some scoring and he is our best chance to have a player with 15-20 poins off the bench.

Smart brings some super energy and usually I like him as a 6th man, where he can replace AB if he fouls quickly or to shut down whoever you need.

So in other words, I would say no one of these 3. Amir underperforms but you have no choice but to start him, then finish with super small line-up. That worked twice and  I rather be competitive at the end of the game, even if it means being behind the whole game.

Don't change what's working.

Brown...Amir gives the nothing on either end. He looks slow and cooked


Brown
IT
Crowder
Horford
AB

Bench: Rozier, Smart, KO and I would like to see a bit more of Green or Jonas
