Our guys should be taking notes. Change of speed is the hardest thing to defend and it’s why guys like him are able to get guys in bad positions to draw contact.
Game 6 at Atlanta---Get the Job Done

I'm starting to accept the increasing probability of G7 as our guys blow in close games. I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah. I miss the days when watching the Celtics was just fun escapism.
These games are far too stressful.
I'm now begging that they take out Al. I want to see White, Brogdon, JT, JB and Marcus. If Time Lord is healty, fine. Even Grant. But Al in drop coverage is just brutal
I guess the calculus is that you can't hang with the Hawks by playing better D because it saps too much energy to score. They are just going to balls out on offense.
I feel like I have to keep looking back at last years roster to remind myself it’s almost entirely the same personnel that was a defensive dynamo down the stretch. (Yes I know healthy TL was a major component)
I might try Grant at 5 so long as they commit to gang-rebounding and not trying to run off misses....Hawks don't have interior scorers. But the rebounding has to be portected.
Grant would be better off switches than Al, who is just looking slow

Hey look. The Hawks blitz Tatum on a pick and roll because they weren’t scared of Rob 30 ft from the hoop. Can we try that.
Been the theme of the last two games. When Young is in, the Hawks get great looks and score at a high percentage. When Young is out, the Celtics defense looks great and everything looks difficult for Atlanta...and they still score at a high percentage.
