That's one of the big reasons to trade KAT. They're spending way to much on their three front court guys, considering they can't all be on the court at the same time.
Their guards could not defend Kyrie and Luca
reply
No one can defend Kyrie or Luka. You have to shut off the rest of the team and hope for the best.
reply
I agree that no one can defend Kyrie or Luka one on one. That's why I would rather double them and force the others to beat you. If we're talking about game 5 of the Mavs vs Twolves series, TWolves needed to double Luka right from the start and not let him cook like that. Once Luka started getting in rhythm and got hot, the game was over.

Celtics have good perimeter defenders?
reply
Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are excellent perimeter defenders; they are both on the NBA second all defensive team this season. Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are also athletic forwards that play decent perimeter defense.
reply
I should also mentioned that Jrue Holiday was voted best defender of the league by players' anonymous voting last season, and he was voted number 2 this season (Wemby was number 1). If you don't believe in the so called awards voting by media/analysts, the players anonymous voting should be a good indicator of actual defensive prowess.
reply
I didn't see that Wemby won that player vote. It felt like Jrue won that every season.
