The Celtics’ frontline beat on Howard, yes, but they don’t let him
get angles and they don’t require the guards to come and double Howard
for them. They just keep their chests into him and challenge Howard to
beat them with a back-to-the-basket game he doesn’t have down nearly as
well as his dance steps. This allows the Celtics to stay out on the
perimeter and protect the 3-point line. Orlando missed 17 of 22
3-pointers and they’ll never beat the Celtics unless those shots start
to drop for them.
“A lot of them jump shots, the buttholes get tight,” Wallace
declared.
