[...] The third game on tap has the Philadelphia 76′ers going to beantown to take on the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden in front of 18,624 fans. For the home squad it’s UNC big man Rasheed Wallace, who gets 21 minutes coming off the bench. In that time the ex pupil of Dean Smith scores eight points (2 for 7 ~ 2 for 6 ~ 2 for 4), grabs four rebounds and turns the ball over twice in the game. In a high scoring game, the home team comes from behind in the fourth quarter, as Boston outlasts Philadelphia by the final of 113 to 110. The win puts the Celtics at 11 and 4 for the season.

I’ve never understood the whole “go-small-to-match-small” mentality. Sportscasters also talk about a team needing to go big if the opponent goes big.

But they can’t have it both ways. If the other team goes small, shouldn’t the Celtics have the advantage because they’re bigger? Or if being smaller is advantageous, then aren’t other teams shooting themselves in the foot when they go big?

I understand that it really comes down to matchups. But I think that needs to be part of the discussion, not simply a comment that the other team went small. Why did going small help them and hurt the Celtics? Yes, KG has a hard time keeping up with Thaddeus Young, but why weren’t the Celtics able to exploit their size advantage by scoring inside, dominating the offensive glass, etc.?

@sam: I can’t picture the one over Noah for some reason. The Cavs ones I remember–he looked in 08 like he wasn’t going to be a horrible jump shooter–shot about 50 percent on Js that playofs.
