Well, you look at the top teams they're going to have to play if they were to employ that lineup, but it's not going to be something you're going to hit them with all night.

But if they can selectively use it in games strategically, you look at Detroit, Cleveland, and the Knicks, those three teams, and you ask yourself, well, how hard is this going to be for them to guard?

Extremely.

If you've got the Knicks lineup that they want to play most of the night, that's going to be very difficult for them to guard.

Same with Cleveland, because they like to play two bigs a lot, and that's going to be very difficult, the ground coverage and playing guys off the dribble.

It's going to be hard, even with a guy as versatile as Mobley, that's going to be hard for them to pull off.

And then you say, what about the other end?

Well...

yeah, Cleveland, you could be susceptible in the offensive glass.

Like that could be a problem, but they're so Boston is so good at the details of the game, chipping on guys and getting, getting, you know, between them in the basket and making them come over your back.

And there's just a little details that it takes when you do play small, right.

Excel at that stuff.

You know?

So I think the, the, the risk reward is,

is more reward for them.

And I think you are going to see that lineup sometimes how much we'll see, but I don't know that they're that worried about getting beat up at the other end by playing a small lineup.

Nobody's keeping him off the glass.

Unless, listen, unless Luka, they're talking about trying to appeal because he missed two games for the birth of his daughter and all that.

So unless they win that, which I don't know how that's going to play out, but that's what they're saying.

They're trying to figure out a way to get some sort of an exception.
