I think it should be Rose to set the tone, but just limit his minutes, and give time to Burks and maybe Frank if he can manage to slow down Trae.
I just don't see what Elf is bringing at this point.

Rose. Stick Frank on Trae from the word go to relieve Derrick of his defensive duties and when he fouls out then so be it, his offense won't be missed anyway.

I like Rose off the bench. Give Frank 10 minutes to pick him up full court, 5 minutes a half. Need Rose fresh. Want our bench to remain the big asset, it is.

Honestly Austin Rivers would have been better than Payton. Not sure why Payton wasn’t cut. It’s only a 2MM delta.

How's your cardio Fish? I'll even vote for you if it means Payton stays glued to the bench.

I'd go Chris Childs and let him pull his Kobe moves out

Rose played 38 mins in game 1. More mins than Randle, RJ, Trae Young, Boggs, etc. This idea that Rose should be coming off the bench doesn't hold much sense anymore when we see him entering the game at the 8 minute mark of the 1st and 3rd quarters to inject energy into the starters and help dig us out of a hole. If Rose starts, he can get the proper rest that he needs as opposed to coming in at the 8 min mark and playing 18-20 straight mins in each half.

Time for Thibs to cut the nonsense and put Rose in the starting lineup. Quickley, Burks and Obi can provide more than enough offense off the bench...

I’d go with Frank only because I prefer rose coming in as a substitute. But I knovthe risk is a slow start like what happened game 1... but honestly we lost because Randle was shell shock


Iq was out there like he played 10 years of playoff games

Toppin looked more un rattled in the playoffs than he did in the regular season

Rose - been here done that

Gipson - been here donethat

Burks - been here done that

Payton - in his feelings lol

Noel - been here before

Randle - dazed and rusty (post all star game Randle showed up)

Bullock - slinging bricks.
