You need to stop. Just stop.
Going to Boban isn't the answer.
Turning Luka into a 1990's PF isn't the answer.
Sometimes you have to just accept the other team is better and causes problems with no easy solutions. But this gimmick nonsense ain't it.
Fine, I'll stop.
On the one hand you're trying to say we don't have any discussion, on the other you're bringing people down when they're trying to come up with new ideas. And tell me, what new insights / ideas did you bring?
PS: you've said that Chriss can't play in this series. Just wait till they bench Powell.
Now you can ban me all you want, no one is willing to discuss here anything, including you. I'm done.
And guess what, Doncic's prototype is LeBron. LeBron did start to play PF and Center.
The idea of Doncic being the PF is that he can play only on deffense. Probably at least 30 points come from Doncic missing rotations. If he only works on not missing rotations, staying with his guy, that's already reduction of 30 points. If JB can carry some of the burden on offense, it's passable. But the only way that JB can carry the burden, is if Doncic is PF. JB and Doncic don't work together on offense.
Either the Mavs go **** defense, play only offense with LD + SD + Bullock + Bertans + Maxi, or they can go full defense with Doncic playing in the post, because him just standing still on the perimeter won't work, while JB has the ball. And Doncic being the PG on offense won't work on defense, because he will get exhausted, proven just about everytime.
But on the other hand, you would just rather roll the same lineup, but replace Josh with Frank. And hope for what, exactly? They got blown by 20 both times, and you think they can win 4 out of 5 without any major changes? Great logic. Just stop.
* Very few people suggest any new approaches, when they finally do it's "just stop." Guess what, Carlisle didn't want to play Boban anyway. Everyone knew it was ****. It was Voulgaris who insisted on Boban being in the lineup. And they almost could have won. Won 1 more game with him and were close to winning game 7.
** And I never said that Doncic needs to become 1990s PF. I wanted Doncic to use his magic brain to make loads of off ball screens for people not named JB, while JB has the ball. Create chaos for JB, allow the 3 point shooters to roam / move freely inside / through the 3point line, but keep Doncic in the low / midpost. And try to get him some post up play, like MJ got with the triangle offense. I never said I wanted him a 1990s PF, you're making this up. I don't even want him 2010+s PF. I want him there to confuse the Suns. Doncic with a ball is a huge threat, Doncic doing some crazy stuff with his screens is also a huge threat, because if Doncic gets the ball, it's once again a huge threat. And the Suns can't guard that, if even the Mavs don't know what the hell are they even playing.
*** And now say something back or ban me. Don't just say: "The Mavs can't play Chriss." If you want to have discussion, you actually have to have some opinion, aside from just "Boban isn't an answer, Doncic being PF isn't an answer, Chriss isn't an answer, the Mavs should just play the same lineup (but replace Josh with Frank), the Suns are just better." That's not an opinion, that's not discussion, that's just negating everything.
**** And I know that someone will ban, because I just "attacked" the moderator (who said "Just stop", while I've written a perfectly nice post, suggesting JB has the ball and Doncic plays PF). Instead of this moderator trying to come back at me, he'll just hide. And I'm pretty happy with ban, please do it, I'm spending way too much writing this stuff anyway. So please do. But like forever, not 1week etc. I would have deleted my account, but I couldn't found where can I do it. I'm gonna search for it again.
