I would really love to see our defensive Energy and Effort (tm) carry over from the 4th quarter of Saturday's game to tonight. With 70hrs in between games, that's not likely a real thing, but I can dream, can't I?
Vucevic is likely gonna go off, he usually does against us. As others have said, exploiting his deficiency on D is the best way to neutralize his impact. DJ, I hope you're ready to run and jump for 16-18 minutes.
Young athletic marvels like Williams used to always have career games against Harris, but he has made strides defensively. Let's hope that that continues.
Brown is our best hope to slow Lavine, but he's a walking bucket. We're going to have to mix personnel AND strategy when guarding him.
On offense, the usual. Swing-swing, run our sets, make plays to get other teammates shots and limit turnovers. 7/11 get enamored with this idea of carrying the team with Hero-ball, I think they think it's noble but it's actually making us more predictable to stop. Mix in a drive purely to find an open shooter every once in a while, it'll make their job AND yours easier.
Go Brooklyn.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.
