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 group might need that wrapped up in every week.
Then if you look down the record of our opponents (Washington, Detroit, and Atlanta twice every for instance) and I can’t assist however surprise what number of of these video games are going to be in any respect critical contests.
There’s all the time a steadiness between relaxation and protecting guys contemporary for the playoffs. Clearly any minor harm 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 wish to open up is a dialogue about extra artistic methods to get gamers relaxation and perhaps have some enjoyable within the course of. Be happy to be as critical or unserious as you want.
Possibly the group seems to present Hauser and Pritchard as many 3 pointers as doable one recreation. 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 position.
What different concepts to you will have? They might be schemes that we strive a couple of occasions after which pull them out within the playoffs as wanted. Or they might be centered on creating guys for subsequent 12 months.
Give us your concepts within the feedback beneath (and be good, it is a protected area).
