It is part of the gameplan (Joe made an adjustment and I eat crow, kudos to him). Let Donovan cook Horford in one-on-one plays, and this way get the others uninvolved, losing their rhythm. This also makes Donovan work harder to score, losing his energy in the second half. Something like part 2 of the Jrue attack on offense.

I think Tilman can also play the Horford role of being cooked and getting the Cavs out of rhythm. Don't need to play Horford 40 minutes

We need to kill them tonight. Last couple of years we are a better away team than home team in the playoffs

I’d like them to try Tillman but problem is he won’t be guarded like Al is on the perimeter. Even if Al isn’t hitting he is guarded because he is a threat.

You’re definitely right on the stretching the floor. Tillman can get the corner 3, but I wouldn’t call it a specialty. It won’t happen but I’d love to see Queta. I think he’s an NBA player. And while also not Rob Williams, we were still a very good team when Rob was on, Horford off in years past.

agreed Tillman can def help fill the void, Joe needs to give him a shot. This roster can mix it up, not just live and die by the three at every position. Roll with it!

If and when Allen plays with Mobley on the floor, that’s when Queta could be useful if Luke is out, otherwise personally I’d rather Brissett play the 5 over Queta if they don’t go with Tillman and Al needs a spell. While I think Queta does offer something, he does often get a bit out of position with the team stuff.

In minutes management news, despite Horford needing some rest, no Celtics are being run into the ground. The top Celtics players in playoffs minutes per game are Tatum, Holiday, Brown and White. They are currently 23rd, 36th, 48th and 53rd in playoff mpg. Al Horford is next at 76th.

Knicks pushing everyone down 5-6 spots lol.

Hopefully Al can get whatever rest he needs, his shot disappearing during high load minutes is becoming a trend.

If today was Game 7 of the NBA Finals then Porzingis would be playing today in my opinion. I think if the Celtics win Game 4 then KP will still stay out. If Celtics lose Game 4 then I wouldn't be surprised if KP plays in Game 5.

Allen might play and if the Cavs coach has a brain they would start Wade. It will be a different style game.

Really hoping Mitchell gets cold. He's hitting everything and not all easy shots either.

I hate this crew already, but it shouldn’t matter.

Marc Davis is the absolute worst

If Mitchell's out, you can probably just rest Al tonight.

Rest him.

Porzingis evidently shares a flaw I have, which is that if I have any kind of pain in or below the knee, I'm much more likely to misstep enough to injure myself further.

Tyler Ford exactly 0% better.
