Bill Sy: As Scalabrine and Gorman noted during the game last night, the Celtics ran a lot of isolation in part because of the Nets’ switching defense. Like Boston, Brooklyn switches a lot on pick and rolls in order to negate the opposing teams’ motion on offense. They’ve got strong wing defenders Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, DeMarre Carroll, and Allen Crabbe and it was obvious that their length and athleticism was giving the Celtics a problem, particularly on the second night of a back to back on the road.
