^this. If it looks out of reach, bring out the white flag and rest the starters.
Every team in the league is gonna have a few games like this. On to the next one.
I would maybe play Booker extended mins even through a blowout. Let him to get out of this awful funk that he’s been this season. If he can get al his turnovers and dumb plays out of the way in this game then this loss isn’t bad at all.
I don't think they will intentionally pack it in too quickly. I think the team is resilient, though if they continue to be cold from 3, it will be tough.
Just need to win each quarter by 10+.
Plenty of teams have won quarters by 20+ though.
If we are down 25+ with under 8 minutes to go though, I'd maybe go more to the deep bench. Or at least rest Paul and Booker. I would let Ayton get some more run and some of the cold 3 pt shooters so they can get out of their funk before the end of the gam and not let it get into their heads like it did with Oubre.
But we could play some of our deep guard rotation, some Frank, etc.
