The Celtics are probably the best example of this. They drafted their blue chip guys who got good very quickly and they started building around them with all the other assets they’ve had. They may not have done everything perfectly, but they were competitive while their best guys were young and never sacrificed the future.Get that playoff experience in now
OKC is competitive though. They aren't throwing games. They're 13-6. They can't just do whatever until they are sure though. It's Oklahoma, not Boston. It makes a big difference.The Celtics are probably the best example of this.

Those two have played more high leverage playoff games before even entering their primes than most guys will play in their career.
SGA is obviously a superstar. Also seems very obvious that Chet is a clear blue chip guy that completely embodies what the league is going towards- size and skill. JDub is an awesome two way guy. They nailed the Cason Wallace pick. Dort and Giddey are good role guys that you could either keep and be successful or move if someone is available that could be a better fit.
That’s 6 good pieces right there. Other guys like Isaiah Joe/JWill/Wiggins have come in and had good performances. Solid depth guys.
They absolutely have the flexibility to make moves around the SGA/Chet/JDub/Wallace core.
Nah let’s continue running lineups with both of the franchise players on the bench in the fourth quarter, or play Shai with no ball handlers while he’s getting aggressively doubled.OKC is currently the 2 seed and it seems pretty obvious who their guys are. They have one of the 10 best players in the league and a strong supporting cast. Zero need for experimentation from here on out.
Well in the last 10 games they are 1st in the NBA in net rating by a lot.Nah let’s continue running lineups with both of the franchise players on the bench in the fourth quarter, or play Shai with no ball handlers while he’s getting aggressively doubled.
They gotta see what they have, whatever that even means.
I don't really think thats the point. Most great teams are great cause they find the things they are great at and then do those things with a high frequency in the regular season, cause the reps matter when the playoffs come and everything about the game gets harder. It doesn't really feel like its a value add when you're spending so much time running stuff that you wont use come April/May/June.Well in the last 10 games they are 1st in the NBA in net rating by a lot.
So i'm certainly glad they aren't listening to you.
Doesn't this all make more sense when they are playing poorly? Honest question.
This seems very analytical for a team that is crushing the analytics to date.

This makes more sense because every playoff series essentially turn into pick n roll overloaded offensesLike remember when theSteph/KD Warriors didnt run any pick and roll during the season? Then the playoffs came and they ran a ton of it? I don't understand those types of things.
Oh they'll run all kinds of crazy stuff in April/May/June. I can tell you that right now.I don't really think thats the point.
