You forget he did play him against Toronto. He can still play him.The regular season was the time to think about "hey we have just one playable center on the squad so maybe we should also develop Zizic". No way Lue throws Zizic in a playoff game after giving him so little PT all season.

Cedi played a lot during the regular season and against Toronto and hasn't against Boston.
That's strickley on Lue.
The more options we display, the more they need to game plan for. Limiting our rotations also makes it easier for the opposition coach to predict our lineups and plan on matchups and game plan.Yeah, and the problem is that reduces options if the other team's game plan starts working. The more competent players you can mix and match, the more likely you are to find a combination that works in a given situation. But Lue decided prior to the playoffs that having the option to have a true center, and a hustle, plus-defending wing who can guard 1-3, isn't something he needed.

Look how he used TT against Horford last night.
And it worked..
Same thing can be done for short stretches with Zizic and Cedi.
We also had 10 more turnovers than them in game 5, which is what made it seem a lot close than it was.Game 5 is not going to be easy. LBJ dropped 44 points, and the C's still outscored us in the final 3 quarters of that game. And they're a much better team on the road than at home. They're young and dumb enough to let their crowd convince them that they actually have a chance.

Both can score but it's not something that has to be relied on.
Going into Boston, I would open up my rotations for key substitutions and squeeze what the Celtics can do.
There two issues last night.
1-Turnovers, cut those down.17 is way too much
2-Celtics were attacking the paint , specifically with Love/Korver being posted with little help D.
Has Lue also forgotten Calderon?
