Walker vs. Jefferson? Bad idea.

Not really an answer..

Its on the offensive end that Martin kills us, IMHO. With Battie out there 
already helping Walker they did alright -defensively. On offense they just stick 
Martin on him - no double and he shuts Walker down. That's a huge problem on 
the Celtics spot up shooting offense. We rely upon doubles to get other people 
involved. Like Jefferson is supposed to double off a McCarty and leave him 
for the open three. With Martin in there they don't need to do that - hence no 
offense.

A big lineup might help on defense vs. Martin, but the Walker vs. Jefferson 
match up on offense would be trouble. I see no net gain there. Actually I think 
defensively I would take Martin vs. Walker over Jefferson vs. Walker. Rick 
tried Walker at the three - he wa younger and faster then and he was hopeless.
