Can we just draft Fultz now?

It's gotta be Smart, I think, but Brad could go with Rozier for spacing. I think IT will attempt to play though.

That would be nice!

Dont think IT4 plays unless for some miracle the Celtics can bring this back for a game 5

Celtics need maintain his value. And IT4 will want to protect his future

I'd go with Smart, Bradley , Brown, Crowder, and Horford. Put your best 5 out there to start, no more Amir Johnsons, Gerald Greens, or Jerebkos starting.

G: Bradley (defending Kyrie)
F: Smart (defending T.Thompson)
F: Jaylen (defending LeBron)
C: Horford (defending K-Love)

It's too bad IT doesn't have a twin brother who is also a professinal basketball player and has all the same tattoos as IT and a similar game that we could just replace him with and no one would know the difference.

Does it really matter?

In all seriousness I'd rather do something strange to maybe try to get an advantage so I'd go

Bradley
Brown
Crowder
Horford
Zeller

See if you can create some size mismatches and play a slower more composed game to keep it close.  Cleveland is by far the best three point shooting team in the league. Boston can't keep up with them in a foot race so go for size and a slower game and see what happens.

I think that would be a beautiful arrangement for the deck chairs.  ;D

Regardless of who ends up starting I hope the young guys get ALOT of playing time. I mean what's the worst that could happen after Friday's performance?

definitely great in theory however our theory of making lebron hold it and make him shoot jays all game did not work. he easily got off passes and still got to the rim.

Boston can't stop James but if you give the Cavs less possessions and maybe get them in foul trouble Boston might have a chance.
