OP had the best game of his career in a win early season vs BOS. Channel that feeling. That said, Crowder
didn't play that game. CCJ, I would definitely NOT go that deep in our rotation unless the game is completely
out of hand. Can't let their Kelly get off like that again.

dopawica, everyone tries to defend the PnR and almost everyone still runs it.
Because it's tough to defend. But that's what good teams do. Like good teams
defend the 3 well. Hopefully we'll be a good team tonight.

I wouldn't put Wall on Thomas. I think Brad is our most disciplined defender. Wall is more of a free safety.

I really like the kid but lets hope he changes the game in our favor.
On Sunday he broke our momentum in the 4thQ with an ill advised pass.

This isn't optimal. I know Brooks has few options. EG has not left him much else to work with.

Oubre seems to be able to do well defending the perimeter; but he makes some bad decisions at key times.

We shall see.

Ounre needs gametape to watch...especially in losses hes very good at learning lanes and spots against offenses same with porter

I don't have an actual source, but in Brook's postgame presser right after game 1 it seemed like he was suggesting more staying at home and less collapsing on dribble penetration.

Or maybe I was just hearing what I wanted to hear. :nod:

I called for that before game 1. Wall is like LeBron now. They've done the All NBA defense stuff for a whole season. Now they want to be a rover until key situations because they carry a huge burden on offense. We should put Beal and Oubre on Isiah until like 6-8min left in the game because that's when guys like Wall and LeBron are going to go all out on both sides to get the W. I also don't want Wall in foul trouble or expending alot of energy on IT to where he is tired on O in the 4th

Brad said it in his pregame interview

I'm still mad at Phil getting the axe from the game broadcasts.

As long as he isn't a step slow guarding Crowder and can bang with Horford/Amir.

Maybe its better to go with a small lineup to start since that's what the C's do? More time for Morris with our bench and vs their bench, too.

Nah, our size dominated early last game but I would probably go small in the 4th because Al just wants to pick and pop for 3's while Gortat won't go out there

We need Jason Smith to come in a do this to Horford...

or maybe this...

I love it. Let Thomas go off...contain everyone else. Limit open 3s. Force others to create shots if they want to score. I thought the defensive strategy was a problem last game. No way Crowder should be going 6-8 from 3 pt range. That's what beat us, not Isaiah getting his normal 30+.

We gotta win this one. Not saying the series is over down 2-0 but the road becomes so much harder. I think we can win, even w/o Morris, we just have to stay out of foul trouble.

Last game was at 3am my time, this game is at 10am but I "have to" go to work. I think ill be able to sneak the first quarter, maybe first half in as long as there aren't too many stoppages. Rest will have to wait for the boss to leave in the afternoon :lol:
