Udoka's lineups are bad. No idea why Jauncho and Kanter got DnPs.

This is what happens when you go from a decent coach to a brand new one….

It feels like without Horford the tea is just small. Kanter and Juancho dont appear to be in the rotation and without those guys, and with Horford out, the only guys over 6'6 are Tatum and Timelord. Williams keeps getting switched out onto smalls and it leaves the interior extremely small.

Ime gets a big 0 from me today. Haven't liked anything they have done so far. They still switch too easily.. If they win it will be due to a Brown or Tatum explosion at some point.

Kanters size would definitely help here and Juanchos.

Yes, at least Toppin wouldn't be getting unimpeded runs to the basket.

We playing Romeo or Brown at the 4. PP looks terrible cause he is off ball .

Udoka brought over the Brooklyn defense. Problem is the Celtics don’t have Durant, Harden, Irving and Harris

Tatum, PP, and Nesmith 1-15 from 3. That's ot gonna cut it.

Small ball and switching everything on defense is not working, esp when our tallest guy on the floor is 6'8. what the hell is the point of having 4 centers and 4 PF's and not playing with some height?
