My biggest hope is that we are trotting out a lot of lineups that will never see time in the playoffs. I’m just assuming/hoping the small ball lineup with Giannis at the 5, Korver at the 4 and Pat at the 3 (?) that was just on the floor won’t be seen again.

Yeah, I said to my buddies that I hope we're playing possum or just experimenting and not showing what we're gonna do in the playoffs but that doesn't make up for the fact that we're playing defense like we're the Hawks lol.

This has to be one of the least athletic lineups to see the floor in the entire NBA this year. Might as well take Midds out and get Korver in there.

titans0021 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I will actually say the 3-point defense in general has actually been better today, Miami just can’t miss. Bam hitting a contested three over Brook at the buzzer sums things up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team out here shooting like they're the prime Warriors. Of course, we've been lazy too. LIS before, I just hope we're going through the motions, not showing much, because we really have nothing to play for right now. Sure, we haven't clinched the East outright yet but we're still not quite at risk of losing the #1 seed either. Of course, playing this "we can just flip the switch" game is risky too.

titans0021 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Some of the calls that go against the back-to-back MVP are incredible. Like, 50/50 calls between Giannis and guys like Iggy and Derrick Jones Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Talk about a tale of two halves. As @titans0021 mentioned before, it's almost as if when you play your best perimeter defenders, you stop the 3 ball. That 2nd half eased some of my concerns as well. We should be fine once we get everyone back to full speed and we go to our limited playoff rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
