To me, the prerequisite for the Bruins winning this game is to keep our posts out of foul trouble. Izzo has 20 fouls to give in the paint; Cronin has 10 - Mara and Bilodeau. Dailey's almost as important but he plays the 4 spot, not the 5. If Bilodeau and/or Mara gets into foul trouble, our chances of being able to contest them on the boards or prevent them from running their full range of desired offense shrinks to almost nothing. If we can keep both able to play all out at center, then it comes down to block out - contest the boards and don't foul their guards.
Interesting discussion between the two of you. You both make good sense
