Nice to hear MarJon has been studying Mikal Bridges film. If he can be disruptive using his length on D without racking up fouls and play within the offense, the starting spot should be his to lose.

There are pros and cons to each. We were always among the teams with the least fouls committed under Bud, if we go more aggressive we're likely to deal with sending teams to the line more & getting our own guys into foul trouble. Giannis is specifically who I worry about with that. That said when you play physical they'll likely have alot of calls on them but refs will also swallow their whistle some too allowing us to get away with some stuff. I'll need to see it on the court before I make any true judgment on this is better or worse

If you don’t play physical in the regular season, it’s difficult to just flip a switch and do so in the postseason, unless you got an absolute dawg out there setting the tone for everyone and eating so many fouls the refs won’t whistle others.

Sure I get the idea behind it, but there is a real risk that we will be sending teams to the line alot more now, that our players will be in foul trouble more often. I've had a theory that while Giannis is a great help defender one of the reasons Bud rarely used him on ball was to keep his fouls low. If Giannis is guarding more on ball and playing physical I could definitely see him getting into foul trouble more often.
