Celtics win if they play small ball!!

[akphidelt]

So after watching this series... and Garnett/Powe out I think the only way the Celtics have a chance is to play the Bulls game. Go small!

Lots of House, Marbury... chuck up tons of 3s and score more points then the bulls. The over 201 is looking absolutely money in this game.

I honestly think the Celtics still match up well against this Bulls team. This will be another close game, but I think Doc is a good coach and will figure out a line up that can beat this bulls team.

Leaning Celtics and Over... will post plays later!

I love over 201.
Celtics will be pick and rolled all night to death.
113-107 type game.

With everyone liking the Bulls, this is the perfect time to play the Celtics.

Haha totally disagree. Bulls have plenty of small to matchup. Their best success has been to pound to Perkins and Davis down low. They need to slow it down, grind it out and work the glass.

I'm on your wavelength D2

Running with this team wont' do anything.

Depending on House and Marbury will only get you in trouble.

Pierce and Allen are most effective in a half court setting...they need to slow it down & grind it out.

Thats true, I just don't consider Perkins/Davis as slow pace type "Centers". They can play along with a fast paced game. Unlike when Garnett is there and everything centers around playing the offense around him.

But Thomas and Noah even though I hate Noah are legit matchups against those two guys. I still think they score in the 220s again!

Thomas and Noah match up better in a fast game. They are athletes and can run the court, but they are not as wide and strong. Perkins and Davis match up better in a half court, not to mention they will have to log huge minutes with Garnett and Powe out. Davis running up and down the court nonstop for 42 minutes is probably not a formula for Boston's success.

I'll say it again, if Boston wants a track meet they will have no chance at all. I'm pretty sure Doc recognizes this. Bulls and Rose will push the pace at every opportunity.

You seem to know more then me about this, haha. What are you betting on? You have convinced me to stay away from pounding the over!

Powe only played 7:49 last game when they won and Scalabrine might play tonight who hasnt played in the series yet. Not that i like the cletics but your theory has holes in it.

Ok...

Okay,

I'll take the CELTS +135 or whatever.

Gotta like the world champions as underdogs.

Well yeah he played 8 minutes because he got hurt early and Davis logged 42 minutes. Scalabrine hasn't played in 2 months. How effective is he likely to be?
