Not the god damn Celtics, ugh.

So Celtics who have Prozingis and Horford added Tillman, another 270 6'11 Center, in order to deal with our intimidating front court rotation of Bam, Love and Martin.

Good luck!

They were just as big as last year. Horford, Timelord Williams, Blake Griffin, Vonleh.

Their size doesn't seem the issue versus us, it's always been their shooting and Derrick effin White.

If they get hot from the outside, we are basically cooked.

Yea', they are a much more cohesive group than last year, which is why we might have to worry-- Sz has nothing to do with it.

We're the man at the bottom of the hill once again this year, they should pray that this squad doesn't figure it out

Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

That would be incorrect size is an issue when its paired with good shooting, Horford is just a corner shooter these days that can't jump over a paperclip, similar to Kevin Love, nobody is afraid or fearing Kevin Love or Horford. Timelord is all about rebounding/defense and being a rim running big which is easy to scheme against. Porzingis is the type of big that surround by scorers and shooters gives Miami problems. Porzingis in Washington or New York at the time was easy to deal with because, they put him out in the perimeter, and didn't have shooters around him so Miami could always double or send help as needed. You can't do that now as the previous game showed, he scored at will over everyone because helping on him means leaving a 3pt shooter open. He also happens to be a good shooter himself, so yeah were really underselling his fit with Boston.

I'm not really worried about a win; I'm more interested in seeing this team looking smoother on offense and defense with Rozier in the lineup after finally having a couple of real practices. Adding Rozier was a pretty big change for this rotation, and it'll be altering some of the roles of some of the players.

I mean, can you imagine Porzingis paired with Bam.
Of course not in Spo’s World of Gulliver, where the lil people think they can keep the giant ( Gulliver) strapped down, until the giant had enough. The Heat’s approach is to zone you to death with lil people, but a big such as Porzingis with range can have a field trip at Spo’s lil philosophical expense.

Bam is a mere 6’9” dude that can play much bigger from time to time, but don’t count on him playing at the rim. He needs his mid fade shot working to have a good night, or else.

So it is midget ball and zone D til you die.

Good luck.

You know what other big is a pretty good shooter too, and is surrounded by good wing scorers with size and shooting. That's right you guessed it Jokic and the Nuggets the guys who walloped us last year in the finals. Philly is also trying to do the same with their acquisition of Buddy Hield. surrounding Embiid with the shooters and wings so that you cannot double on Embiid and he can a field day. Luckily for us he is out and if he comes back maybe a bit rusty to be overpowering but teams are realizing what the build setup is to get you deep into the playoffs and passed the West juggernauts.

Oh yeah, but those bigs weren’t available with the exception of Porzingis, but of course midget ball is Spo’s lone formula, so going after Porzingis was not programmed in the laptop. Boston hasn’t gotten lucky vs the Heat, but I tell you what, they’ve had the right idea to were they needed to be, and it’s not midget ball.

if he gets acclimated he could be easily a 25 pt rotation guy whether is starting or coming from the bench. the issue then becomes despite of the potential hot shooting, will rozier be enough to win?


jjj needs to play much better and forget that rookie wall even exists. he is part of that too
