But oof...Spencer was darn near invisible again. When Russell and Caris gets going, Dinwiddie just stand and camp at the three.
Needs to learn how to play off ball

Spencer's in a tough spot but I thought he played OK. 10 points on 7 shots. With LeVert on the 2nd unit and Russell starting, he's not really getting any time as the primary ball handler. He seems to be frustrated about it but hopefully he gets it together.
We went through this before and he snapped out of it.
We might need to bring LeVert back into the starting line up now that he's seems to be back to normal (he has been a stud since March 25, 17ppg during the stretch). that way Dinwiddie can command the 2nd unit and control the ball more.
Russell/LeVert/Harris/Kurucs/Allen?
I'm kind of hesitant to make wholesale changes like this so close to the playoffs. There is no guarantee Caris and Russell instantly meshes in the starting lineup and if Spencer doesn't snap out of it despite running the 2nd unit, we potentially weaken both units.
I'm not sure Rodi is completely healthy (he had that knee thing that we thought he would miss a game for), but I also don't want to yo-yo him around again.
That said, at least we have closure now that Crabbe has done surgery. Rather than waiting to see if he's coming back, we can really ask ourselves who that SG is for the rest of our run.
I think we have the right guys playing now for the most part...just a matter of fit and chemistry.
I do like that your line up moves Caroll back to the bench...and ideally, barring a Max FA signing, should be our starting 5 next season anyway.
