I know Lue loves small ball and this won’t happen. But Celtics showed the blueprint with two bigs and making it work.

Theis has a decent jumper to space the floor too.

The benefits on defense are huge. Celtics performed well in reg season and playoffs by playing two bigs.

Tomorrow against the Kings we are going to struggle against Fox and Sabonis. It’ll be the same thing.

You can’t teach size. And starting Theis over Mann will fix the defense. If Zubac goes up and hedge, you still got Theis rotating to protect the paint.

Last night clearly showed none of the big 4 or Mann can be the PF to protect the paint from the roll man.
