Celtics Go Full 2K With Bizarre Five-Out Starting Lineup Against Nets
Underdog NBA reported the lineup alert on Tuesday night.
The are treating their Tuesday night starting lineup like a 2K MyTeam experiment that accidentally auto-filled.
According to Underdog NBA, Boston is rolling out , Jordan Walsh, , , and Duncan Robinson against the Brooklyn Nets.
Yes, you read that right. Zero traditional big men, maximum spacing, and enough wing shooting to make a defensive coordinator reconsider their career choices.
It is the exact kind of rotation you throw out when you just beat the Chicago Bulls by 35 points the night before and decide to get weird on a back-to-back.
Boston absolutely dismantled Chicago 134-99 on Monday. Now, facing Brooklyn, they are leaning fully into positionless basketball and daring the Nets to keep up with the pace.
Jordan Walsh getting the nod alongside Tatum and George means the defensive switching will be chaotic. Meanwhile, White and Robinson are out there to ensure the three-point volume stays completely unhinged.
For anyone staring at Celtics player props, this rotation is a beautiful nightmare. Rebounds are going to be a complete free-for-all, and the total three-point attempts might threaten the arena's shot clock hardware.
We will see if this five-out fever dream is a one-night experiment or a terrifying glimpse into Boston's matchup-hunting future. Tip-off against the Nets is set for late Tuesday night, and you might want to brace for a track meet.
