Gortat had 16 rebounds.
Start Amir Johnson.

Amir has been terrible the whole series so far.

Tbh I'm leaning that way too. It's not our best offensive lineup but it means a better matchup for All in the early minutes. Amir doesn't even need to play after the first 5 minutes, it's just trying to get the team into a rhythm to start the game

Amir is not the answer and it is clear we need a starting four in the worst way.  I can't say that CBS truly trusts him at this point.

I thought Jaylen brown or KO should've started. starting green was completely outta the blue.

Huge CBS supporter, but you've got to admit that Brooks is outcoaching him right now. Why did Brad go back to Green starting?  Didn't he remember he had to pull him quickly in favor of Amir in Game 2?  At the time, it was the right adjustment and I assumed Amir would stay in the starting lineup.

Everyone must be better, including Brad.

Start Zeller.  Amor has been manhandled all year by physically string centers like Gortat and Lopez.

I'm not saying that Zeller is the second coming of Dave Cowens but he is the widest body we can throw out there right now.

It's embarrassing how average big men look against the Celtics. Gortat just had a horrible series but is fine again and we all remember how Robin Lopez was playing in the first round.

I don't think this is the way to go. 


I would start Brown or Jerebko.   Add some size and speed.   Need to do something to slow down the Wiz starters.

If we're going big, start zeller. But I would start brown at the 3.

This may be a case of selective memory. He initially did well, yes. But...

Please go back and look at lopez' stats for the final three games. He did nothing out of the ordinary for him.

Points - 8, 14, 10
Rbs - 7, 6, 5
Assts - 0, 4, 0
Blks - 0, 3, 1

These are all very much in line with his season averages. The Celtics also punished him with the pick and roll.

Lol the Amir adjustment didn't work either! Going small (XS) was the only working solution in the first 2 games. No Green and no Amir! Amir played well last night when Was had the game well beyond in the bag! They had their "garbage" lineup out there. When Amir played in this series against the good players he was as bad as he was against Chicago.

Start KO... the Wiz players will see the "flag" and immediately attack it.

We'll then have a chance to get some Washington starters thrown out of the game from flagrant 2 fouls.

I think Amir or KO should start. Stevens had a really shaking coaching first quarter. That group he had in their for the run made no sense and he needed to call a timeout sooner.
