But I don't see Monty pulling McGee's minutes. I feel Monty is a lot like Mike D, where they think '"well the other team will have to adjust to us." It might be the case if McGee dominates in the paint. But the question will become how many threes are we willing to trade for twos.
I am not going to underestimate Dallas. They have good three point shooters, and while Luca was out, Brunson and Dinwiddie really stepped up. I mean they now have a starter besides Luca that can easily go off for 30-40 pts, and now a bench player who can add 20.
I am hoping for solid officiating games, no injuries on either side, and hopefully great team basketball from the Suns. We need to get back to that win every game mentality. All players have to have that attitude, and so does Monty. Can't play guys sucking big playoff minutes, while passing up guys who come in and do really well. Hopefully we see more of Holiday and Craig, both can come off the bench, provide energy, guard top players and contribute on offense (well usually).
Monty only played McGee limited minutes in Game 6 against the Pelicans.
Hes not against adjusting his rotation, as we saw in both Games 5 and 6.
Wainright/McGee might be the play here for non-Ayton minutes against Dallas. I don't think we'll see Craig at the 5 much in this series.
