If we want to keep the offense as close to as is, you start Warren in KD's place as he's able to do some of the things KD can do albeit not nearly as well. Then you allow Cam to get some time to go nuts with the 2nd unit.

If you don't want to mess with the bench rotation, then you start Joe or Yuta, but Kyrie needs to be committed to pushing the pace & playing within the ball movement system.

Joe is getting paid a lot of money and also has played his best as a starter. He has to show his worth to the team in this stretch.


I just think that we take a hit defensively by starting Joe. A huge part of why we are so good is because of Durant, Claxton, Simmons and Royce on the defensive end. I think Yuta should start so we can maintain the size and length up front


I like Yuta but not sure he's ready for a starting role. I think he can still play big mins off the bench and provide the usual spark. Joe off the bench is almost always meh. I rather start him and adjust his mins as needed.

He is not a total sieve on defense tho and he has size. I feel like he can be fairly solid and he ability to space the floor and be a good cutter, works really well with Simmons and Clax.

Pushing TJ into a starting role just feels like too much too soon, given his injury history. JV just said as much. No way he starts.

They probably are going to go:
Kai
Curry
Royce
Ben
Claxton

Backcourt is too small vs Boston. They will abuse and hunt Curry.

Even with Brown out, Brogdan will eat Seth alive.

Seth should not start. I'd rather start Joe if that's the case
