Alright Payton. Assuming Brad starts you, it's your night buddy. Also assuming we're gonna see a lot more Romeo out there, and maybe Tatum bringing up the ball.

This is the "let's try to out-rebound and out-defend them and hope Tatum goes off for 50 again" plan, which I guess is the best shot we have at this point anyway. We're completely depleted of talent on offense now. If we at least had Brown this would be a lot easier to swallow.
Gonna need Tatum to beat MJs single game scoring record to win this one
Need Fournier to go for 25+, and Tatum to drop 35+, I think.

We need an outlier game from our bench. My prediction is 6 threes between PP and Nesmith

I’ve been blaming kembas poor play on Brad Stevens most of the season. The limited shot opportunities, the prolonged time on the bench, the general inability To incorporate him into the offense.
I am starting to waiver. I mean this your first playoff game in front of the fans and it’s crucial you win. You have to find a way to get out there.

So is Kemba in or not??
meanwhile if out
Smart and Fournier can easily handle any PG type of Duties+ Tatum has the ball in his hands alot. Start Romeo or Nesmith and play some switcha-ble defense.
Keep PP as a gunner off the bench, or when they start trapping Tatum.

Brad would give whiplash to C's fans if he started Payton now.

My big concern with PP is the Nets players just shooting over him easily. Rather just have Romeo or Nesmith for size on defense. Smart be the point guard. JT be the other distributor when the double comes and pray for the best.
So how many minutes does Smart play? I think the over/under is 40.

Kemba Walker will 100% play in Game 4. The Celtics are just setting up the excuses for him so when he goes 3 for 17 he has a crutch to lean on.

The fact that Kemba’s knee is still **** after resting him all year tells me all I need to know. Get whoever you can. He’s cooked.
