Small ball has already won us a championship. It also won a championship for the Celtics and bushel of them for Golden State. I don't understand the obsession that people have with size. The NBA is full of teams with bigger lineups that were at home watching us play in the Finals last season.

People misunderstand big...Like for example Joel Embiid is big, but his team isn't and if you play him a certain way which Bam does very well we can take him out of his comfort. Then you have Boston, again their big at the SF and Center but even porzingas is more of perimeter scorer and mid range player. He will occasionally find himself downlow but again not a big problem for us as long we have our rotations in check, and we do well everywhere else. The only true big team are Cleveland & Nuggets, but Cleveland for example they don't have scoring bigs, Just big defenders/rebounders their more practical big players, and they have small guards. so its kind of balance. The Nuggets are the only real problem because their lineup is all big from PG-C they all tower over most in the league additionally all their players play really good defense and are capable scorers. If we meet them in the Finals again, it will probable result in another loss, just being honest. The teams that gave them the most problems are high scoring teams, that trade buckets with them, Miami will slow the game down, which to them doesn't matter Having Jokic take his time and view the court with more time is actually a worse outcome.
Smallball has won us a championship with a completely different team. Filled with 2 of the Top 3 players in the league playing with each other in Dwade & Lebron. Until this iteration of Jimmy and Bam wins, were winless with this smallball team.

Correction again ...If Someone is meticulous about certain NBA champions of the past, Maybe we can see Some examples of small Ball during the deciding minutes of a Game
All the times we won with bron wade and bosh... We had a strong And heavy team... Smallball is not only length and height

We won the championship with a ‘power’ rotation of Bosh, Battier, and UD. If that isn’t small ball I dont know what is.

Kevin Love 6’8 250. UD was also only getting 9-15 mins on those big 3 championship teams
“Small ball” has always been used in the context of the front court
