Do you think they have an easier time playing defense against two offensive creator or three?

White and Holiday are catch and shoot players.  How will that effect Simons playing defense?  Those guys aren't routinely beating Simons to the rim.

Both offer more than just catch and shoot ability. Holiday can score in the post. Was able to back down PJ Washington. But I think the main thing that I see isn't about 1v1 or 3v3 matchups. They have to function in a 5v5. As we saw in game 1-3 healthy Celtics rarely (if ever) give up mismatches. Mavs on the other hand would have three targets on the floor.
I don't think you can play another bad/mediocre defender next to Luka and Kyrie for extended minutes. Would ruin the one thing that allowed the Mavs to make a deep playoff run. Team defense with multiple bigger guys that play the gaps, help on drives and offer resistance at the rim.
