Start Mitch. Now Huk is available (or did I dream that?), have Mitch-Huk = 48min

Josh rotates in to divide time with OG, Bridges and maybe a little of KAT - who should take more 3s and post up deeper - and yes there will be congestion down low with Mitch-Huk in the dunkers spot - but confusion should be points for a cerebral player like the Big Bodega. And Brunson can get some relief from Delon - who's absolutely servicable for that role, rather than a little bit of a reach like Payne. And Deuce can do cover for the wings if foul trouble/injury/...

Now, Thibs is a maniac and should have had time in the reg season to make Tyler and maybe Pacome options for the 4-8min bench roles. But that ship has sailed for this year.

If I was Leon I'd still sack Thibs this afternoon and hire Tiago Spiltter.


Is Mitch going to be unplayable? 29% from the line in the playoffs/ He's a good defender but you're going to be playing 4 v 5 on offense. Boston is already an elite defensive team, you don't want to give them more advantages on that end.

Boston needs to keep a body on Mitch at all times or he'll kill them on the offensive boards. Never really consider that we are playing 4 on 5 with Mitch cause he can dominate the boards and paint.

But free throws are killer which is why we need to play him early in the quarters.

Having Mitch play/start in the first half of each quarter at least nullifys any hack a Mitch strategies. His rebounding would help too.
