Celtics Blog Pod 40: How does Boston escape LeBron James switches on Terry Rozier?

LeBron James threw Celtics fans into a spin cycle over the course of two games of methodical picks, forcing him primary defender off the ball and forcing 6’2” Terry Rozier to defend him. The repeated carnage resulted in 4-for-4 shooting and nine points for James in a series-tying game four win by the Cavaliers.

Al Horford said Boston trusts Rozier in those scenarios, and that they’d be there help side to assist him. That worked sometimes, especially when the Celtics could switch again to get a big man onto James before he made his move.
