Have no reason to believe we won’t win next game. Don’t see Ja going off the exact way he did tonight. We going up 3-1

Thing is.. theyre more dangerous when ja scored around 28+ and others are also hitting shots.. luke kennard and such

not easy decision to insert Lonnie or Bamba with meaningful minutes at this point. They have no feel for the intensity of the playoffs. Beasley and Troy been nonexistent

Rui doesn’t either but look how he’s played. We shouldn’t be playing Beasley and TBJ. Lonnie deserves some minutes.

Rui has been playing meaningful minutes this whole series, so he is already up to speed with the intensity
Inserting Lonnie at this point and throwing into the fire isn’t easy for him since he hasn’t played in 3 games (aside from meaningless garbage minutes)

It doesn’t matter if we continue to play TBJ and Beasley who’s both giving us the same contributions as Lonnie

Or at the very least not playing Beasley and TBJ together.
Good lord what a meaningless 30 minutes they played. I can remember 1 TBJ rebound and that’s it.
The idea is top 4 starts the game. Starts the 3rd. And finishes the 4th.
There’s no reason to not have rotations /combinations of 3 with Rui and use Beasley or TBJ as 2 separate lineups hope that because there’s enough good players on the floor that they may walk into 5 points.
Otherwise they risk blowing a bunch of games with the two of them together.
Everybody out of DLo/AR/Bron/AD can impact the game in a positive and meaningful way even if they are not scoring well. Beasley / TBJ cannot, honestly can’t even impact the game scoring other than catch and shoot.

We need a more efficient DLo next game.

Expect tyus, Kennard and even brooks to hit threes next game. They’re familiar with the crowd noise and the rims/backdrop now. And JJJ won’t be in foul trouble.
But Ja won’t go nuts from theee again at least
