I was just thinking the same thing..

When Boston put out its smallest line up, JH tried to counter it by playing kanter and KP, boston took off..

The scouting report says run on the knicks, penetrate and kick out, shoot a ton of 3's with in 7 seconds of the shot clock.

Boy we got unlucky. I have to disagree with you BRIGGS. Seems like the bench players give us the most problems. But I agree, most teams that play us will not try to go bigger than us, cause they cant. So what does any capable coach with decent basketball IQ do, and what would I do against us? Put a tall, but fast lineup out there, with enough 1 on 1 skills, and take advantage of our slow feet and slow reaction.....Also run pick and roll, since our bigs are too slow....and smalls are too weak.

Our bigs don't handle speed well....And if they spend too much time chasing fast guards, then it will hurt our jumpers, since most of our bigs are jump shooters, except for Kanter and Beas. Which is why they usually put up huge stats, regardless of the matchup. KP is the one that has to balance his defensive energy and effort, without negatively impacting offensive efficiency.
