Some version of Wright/Kolek should have been our playoff flavor instead of Payne

Wright should have supplanted Payne.

my 6 year old could tell you that...he sucks as a coach

luckily in the playoffs i think he's only playing 8

probably but that isn't an excuse for just simple knowledge of how the game should be played (keep a shot creator in the game at all times) its not **** rocket science....

i was saying in the 3rd qtr watch out for this lineup because thibs has no idea how to stagger.

When SGA goes to the bench guess who comes in for OKC...Jalen Williams to have another go to option.

But it takes foresight to sit the starter earlier in the qtr so you can bring them back in to start the 4th...but thibs has no wherewithal.

he does that with Kat to be fair but Kat isn't a guy that can get his own shot so it doesn't work as well.

but yea it should be done with bridges/OG

It's his formula for some reason. It was Deng with the bench in Chicago then it became RJ with the bench here and now it is Hart with the bench at times. I would love for someone to ask what his thought process is when throwing out some of these lineups on the court.

i think it's based on lineup data. he wants the lineups with the best plus minus to play together as much as possible.

Playoffs 3 man bench rotation - Deuce, Shamet, Mitch (all at least 20 MPG)

Situational - PJ (yes PJ), Payne, Precious

He’s like a mini Ben Simmons. No one is guarding him and he never looks to score.

yes but that still doesn't excuse playing the entire bench with Hart. I mean anyone knows that isn't a viable NBA lineup.

So Brunson/Mikal/OG all had to play together and can't throw in shamet a few minutes earlier so one can sit so when brunson goes to the bench we have mikal or OG come back in?

Bro loves Precious, he's getting playoff burn. That's his Randle understudy.

if that was true then why would he play lineups with bad data (hart + precious) so often?

i guess his logic could be maximize the minutes with the best lineup even if that means having some minutes with the worst lineup. instead of balancing it out?
