who should we start?

We've been tinkering with the starting 5 for quite some games but we still can't offer enough resistance to the killer starting 5 Washington has. What changes should we make now that game 5 is a must win game for us to keep our advantage? I'm advocating Jerebko, although he hasn't played well I think his energy can affect our defense in a positive way and he can stretch the floor so that IT and Horford can get to work. We need Crowder and Bradley to hit open shots as well.

Its time to experiment by replacing Johnson with  jerebko. Consider brown in place of Crowder

Honestly yeah I'd send Brown to attack the rim at the start of the game and draw fouls on Gortat and Morris

Crowder won't be sniffing the bench anytime soon. Maybe Jaylen will replace Bradley since he's injured again.

Were it me, I would change things up, I would throw in Jonas and start Brown at SF in an attempt to light a fire under Amir and Jae.   We need another starter quality player really at both forwards.   Crowder has looked more like a bench player in the playoffs save the one game.   We have a huge hole at PF, and Green filled in admirably but face it he can't maintain it.

I can't believe I am about to say this but The C's could really use Sullinger this series.

My question for Stevens is this. If we're going to get outrebounded anyway, why not go small again and play up and down with the Wiz. Can we see Brown, Green and Rozier more please.

I've put up with Crowder for 2 years and I don't care about his contract, he's NOT a good starting SF. He should come off the bench. He's dropped on defense and can only hit 3's  when he's open. He will fake a guy and then step back for a 3 instead of taking the ball to a wide open lane...you too Olynk.

The Wiz are due for a bad game.

Play Zeller with Horford...
