And it's not like a great one, but it's to not deviate at all from your core philosophy on defense and to play like guard your yard as best you can sprint to run three point shooters off the line, which is something they're very good at. Best team in the league at like they'll foul foul you when they're running like they like before you can even get the shot up. They don't care.

That's what they that's what they do. That's their personality. And I think, like, once you kind of shift and defend like everybody else and you're put into rotation, you're dead. So don't do that. As hard as it is and how painful it is to watch Jason Tatum destroy Corey Joseph or whoever it's going to be.

Like, I think Franz Wagner, his size, and he's a pretty good defender, pretty good help in on ball. He'll help in this scheme. And you might see more Jonathan Isaac than normal. Yeah. But I just wouldn't deviate.

I think that that's like the key thing here that I'm living and I'm dying by how I've defended all season and I can't fall into the trap of playing how Boston wants me to play is what I would say.

Yeah, I think even just going back to the Carter on Drew mismatch or matchup, I should say. Like, it took the Celtics three or four minutes to have Drew Holiday come up, flip a ball screen for Jason Tatum, and he drills the pull-up three. So, like, they just haven't – they're a very smart team, obviously. They're defending champions. I don't think that they can't solve this defense.

And, I mean, I think, to be honest with you, after watching them play and just – I don't even like, I guess, tricking myself into thinking that Paulo and Franz could have some type of offensive awakening on this stage. I've kind of talked myself into it being like a competitive four or five game series where like after three quarters in every game, the score is tied type of deal.

But beyond that, it's it's yeah, the Celtics are going to win in advance and they are much better. And it's just a huge bummer for Orlando that did not have. You know, the team that they envisioned before the season started with Suggs, KCP, Paolo, Franz, like. Both Wagner's injuries are a big, big deal to this team. And now he's dressed as an assistant coach, seated in the second row every game.
