I’m going to start the same lineup in game 3 but if AR struggles again I’m moving him to the bench.
In that scenario, for game 4:
I’d start Dennis over AR.
Put Dennis on Steph, vando on Klay, Dlo on Wiggins.
It sucks to play that many non shooters in the starting lineup so I don’t want to do it, but their hand might be forced.

I know this isn’t the time to throw out a rookie but I feel like Max Christie would be more useful than Walker or Beasley.
Probably can’t give a rookie minutes over those 2 tho lol

It was really the way they closed the 2nd quarter. It was an avalanche and after that I think the coaching staff just conceded the loss. They didn’t throw out any adjustments, prolly saving em for game 3.

He still ain't wrong.
We know sports media. They say stupid stuff from time to time, but what he said about AD was spot on.

Maybe, but if I KNOW someone is a hot take artist, I don’t take any of their opinions serious. No matter what they say I really don’t give a **** lol.
BTW did you know Colin has Draymond signed to his podcast network?

I don't post Colin often.
But once again...if he is right...he is right....
And everything he said in the post was dead on.
There is no defending AD for last night.
Is it crazy for us to ask this man to just have two straight dominate games?
- 25,066

You’re free to ask for whatever you want from AD.
He fasho needs to play better. I’ll tell you that. He’ll be the first to tell you that.
But everytime he has a bad game, we have the same discourse.
- He played bad but you have to give the other team credit too, their entire gameplan was to take ad out the game. They put Dray on him and had multiple bodies on him everytime he even thought of going to the paint.
- there is no such thing as a perfect player. There is no way you can expect someone to be a superstar DPOY on defense for 40 minutes AND expect him to get up 20-25 field goals EVERY night. It is simply not possible.
- i think it’s human nature to take it easy after you accomplish your “goal”. They got the split and GS was the more desperate team, made heavy adjustments and played way harder. Now it’s our turn. Ad needs to dominate these next 2 games. Hopefully we’re up 3-1 going back to SF (But if that happens I already know Ad will have a bad game 5 and the same exact discourse will start again). If it’s 2-2 back to SF, we’re going to need AD to dominate game 5.
- jayson Tatum just had 7 points in a playoff game and nobody said **** because they won. Nobody will care what numbers Ad puts up if we win.
- AD fasho needs to be the best player on our team to win so I get why he’s the focus of discussion. He has to play better. At the same time, it’s a team game and only 2-3 players showed up yesterday (Ad wasn’t one of em either). You can (rightfully) blame AD fasho but it was a total team loss.

I would put Caruso on KlayYea, I was feelin pretty damn good after the first quarter. And then Klay went off early in the second and it just snowballed.

I think it's possible, problem is AD isn't physically capable.
Jordan, Wilt, Bird, Olajuwon, Kobe, Duncan, D. Robinson, Giannis, KG, G.Payton...all these superstars in their primes were elite two-way players who were stars on defense nightly while still putting up 20-25 shots a game and for the most part were top 2 in their respective teams in scoring night in night out.

Rui needs more minutes. Bron gotta come out hot again. AD gotta step up. Not sure what to do with AR. This ain’t his series.

Banking on another hot LeBron jump shooting night is probably foolish. Work the interior.
