And that will be a lot easier if we stick to the .5 offense and move the ball with their defenders. I'm not sure if Ball and Favors are out, but that would certainly help. I noticed neither played last game. If that's the case, it's a bit closer to even with their two best bigs out and their PG (though Holiday is their best backcourt player...however Booker is ours). They still have more depth, at least at PG with Jrue (if need be), NAW and Frank Jackson. Just basically a rookie C though...a very raw one at that, so maybe our PFs can exploit that. Actually I guess they have Okafor too....but not sure if he played last game either.
Jaxson Hayes has played pretty well for them, NAW as well. I wouldn't overlook either of their rookies.
Oh, I agree....but a vet like Favors and a defender like Ball is probably tougher. I know NAW can get really hot. Hayes has only played a lot of minutes a few times and has run into foul trouble a few times as well, sometimes quickly.
