How many games udoka will need to realize that lineups with 2 bigs don't work unless one of them is a versatile star? horford is much better than grant but he wasn't good enough 5 years ago to play PF and much less now.

Brian Scalabrine hates the everyone switches on defense. Scal believes Rob Williams should be by the basket.

Very smart man!

Rob was actually really good when he was forced to defend the perimeter, definitely still struggles when he has to rotate though. Lots of moving parts here gonna take some time. Horford back tonight and Tatum won’t shoot that poorly again. Celtics should win this one with ease

Celtics had the point guard guarding big men and Rob Williams guarding the point guard all night against the Knicks because of everyone switches on D.

Should never happen, nevermind all night long. Hopefully Udoka adjusts tonight

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
