2766215, Adams returned from Covid and had double digit Posted by allStah, Wed May-25-22 10:04 PM
rebounds in 3 straight games. Now Looney did have that one 22 rebound game, but other than that he really wasn’t a factor in that series, because he made for a bad match up. Green started at center.
Williams is a whole other monster, and so is Bam. Memphis made for a tougher matchup than Dallas, because they had a serious inside presence in Jackson, Clarke and Adams. Dallas has zero inside the paint, so Looney and Wiggins are able to eat all day long.
In the middle, is where the GSW are weak because Looney can be exploited, and they will get ate up on the glass if they go small with Green.
Wiggins will be forced to guard Tatum. Draymond on Brown...so who is going guard Williams and Hortford? Looney? Otto?
Every last player in the Celtics rotation can defend, except for Payton. I just believe the Memphis series was foreshadowing, and the only reason they lost was because they were inexperienced.
I would take the Celtics 4-2......Warriors are a turnover machine and Boston will exploit the hell out of that, and be the far superior team inside the paint.
