But I have wondered, especially with this week off, if Kidd would attempt to install some stuff that's much more Boston specific for this series. I've wondered if they might try to do more switching, attempt to play man without as much help, or come up with something that I can't imagine at the moment. Boston may have the advantage either way, but it would create a dynamic that Jason didn't really address in his prediction.
Warning! The above speculation was written by someone whose basketball knowledge is dwarfed (understatement) by that of Jason Timpf.
At least we have some options
If the bigs are hitting their 3's, we can go switch heavy with Maxi
Not the best since it kills that threat of lobs and offensive rebounds but at least there are backups. We can even go DJJ and Washington as the bigs. The Celts can't really punish that
