Start Nesmith in game 5 and sit Thompson. Go small ball with shooters.

My take away is two fold.
One if we played this hard during the season we'd be in the top 4.
Two, as we're over matched physically, we must stock up on solid strong vets to compete in the POs as done in 2008.

Nesmith and Jabari earned game 5 minutes. Good fight from them.

Yeah this is a playoff game, c’mon lol. Might be Tacko’s final home game here though.

We play so much better when Fournier is on the bench. His defense was indefensible

other than that dumba%% pass to pritchard, Parker has been solid this game.

and a tough 3 from the corner with a hand in his face and off balance by nesmith, loving this guy..,
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I don’t know, tonight is basically the perfect game offensively by them.

This is what they do. With those three guys they are by far the best offensive lineup in NBA history.

Yup 3 chasers on their 3rd teams

Nesmith looking this good is big for him, mentally.

He actually understands spacing, and using Tatum’s gravity to get looks.

Nash is a doofus. He is going to run this big three ragged. They don’t need to be on the court right now.

Well, they don't under estimate us.
19 pt lead, and the Big 3 are still out there, with 4 mins to go.

You just can't stop a KD with 42 points and a Kyrie with 37 points into the early 4th quarter. I dunno maybe Tatum can pressure management to give him a better roster next season. It is what it is.
