Preparation for the upcoming playoff series against the Detroit Pistons is underway, as Tom Thibodeau remains tight-lipped about his strategies. However, he expressed strong confidence in Landry Shamet, who has been performing exceptionally after recovering from a shoulder injury. Shamet has hit an impressive 50% of his three-point attempts this April, making him a valuable asset as the postseason approaches. While Thibodeau has not confirmed Shamet's role in the playoff rotation, his current play suggests he could be integral to the team’s success.

Still, as Thibodeau contemplates shortening his rotation come playoff time, he faces a challenging decision on roster adjustments. With a nine-man rotation already established, determining who takes a seat – whether it’s Cameron Payne, Miles McBride, or anyone else – could prove pivotal as they prepare to face Detroit.
