As of Saturday afternoon, the Celtics magic quantity to clinch the highest total seed within the NBA is 7. Contemplating that there are nonetheless 16 video games left on the schedule, that’s absurd. The staff might need that wrapped up in per week.
Then while you look down the record of our opponents (Washington, Detroit, and Atlanta twice every for instance) and I can’t assist however marvel what number of of these video games are going to be in any respect critical contests.
There’s all the time a stability between relaxation and retaining guys contemporary for the playoffs. Clearly any minor damage considerations are going to be handled with the utmost warning and care. At a minimal the sample of strategically resting bigs on back-to-back video games ought to proceed.
What I’d prefer to open up is a dialogue about extra artistic methods to get gamers relaxation and possibly have some enjoyable within the course of. Be at liberty to be as critical or unserious as you want.
Possibly the staff seems to be to present Hauser and Pritchard as many 3 pointers as potential one sport. Possibly we begin Jordan Walsh rather than Tatum and name the identical performs. Or strive ultra-small-ball lineups. Strive Brissett within the defensive roamer function.
What different concepts to you might have? They might be schemes that we strive just a few occasions after which pull them out within the playoffs as wanted. Or they might be centered on growing guys for subsequent yr.
Give us your concepts within the feedback beneath (and be good, it is a protected house).
