I was just saying, the quotes there do not reflect a "playoffs are different" position, they are commenting on the length of the 76ers.
That said, the Bucks are not the freaky length team the 76ers are. In certain spots, yes, but not at guard. And they love leaving shooters wide open - if FVV struggles there, it will be because he's being used wrong, not because of the opposition's length. Which is quite possible, he's been used wrong most of the year and the entire playoff run.
In any case, really hoping for an OG return if we make it to facing the Bucks, really reduces the number of minutes you have to rely on any single backup player for, and may completely remove Norm from the rotation.

I don't think FVV's issues are with the length specifically so much as completely incorrect usage. As they have been all year, with the length aspect only exaggerating those issues.

Do you actually watch games? The Bucks aren't leaving wide open shooters. They are closing out hard and the Celtics are rushing their shots, or having to pump fake and step in for a mid-range against a secondary defender. Not an expert, but I think that contributed somewhat to the Celtics shooting 20 something percent from 3. If you can't accept that playoff defense is different and more intense than the regular season, then there's no discussion to be had here.

The Celtics have gotten 20 wide open threes per game in the 2nd round on which they are shooting 40%.
