How did RJ play ? I stopped watching first half. Let's get Bojan Bogdovic to spread the floor and bring RJ off the bench. Mitch, JR, Bojan, Grimes, Brunson. Heartenstein, Barett, Hart, IQ. Obi, Deuce Rokas situational

RJ was decent. Defense is not good but not bad. He really needs to study some of Adrian Dantley or Mark Aguirre tape. Dude needs to get some mid post moves into his arsenal. Jimmy is very good at it and picks his spots. RJ really needs to watch Jimmy play. He lets the game come to him and trusts his teammates. Then again, Grimes and Hart need to hit those open shots.

Might be time to switch to under hand.

Go small. It was effective in game 2 when both iHart and Mitch had foul trouble. Brunson, Grimes, Hart, Barrett, Randle if IQ can't go.

But we didn't have to worry about Butler then. Go small and you risk Bam going off and Jimmy creating even more havoc in the paint. After all, we have managed to hold Butler under 40 points this series.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

You can't take out the centers out of our rotation now. They have been integral to our team success this year. In the playoffs, you make small adjustments to what has been successful. Post randle up. 2 man game on 1 side. Swing swing when they double. It really is that simple.

Mitch can't guard Adabayo. Adabayo is to athletic and he's killing it

Actually, he can. Bam is getting all those shots cause Mitch is helping out on drives to the basket and no one is rotating to help mitch

An MSG employee sending subliminals? They might be ready to move on from Randle.

The "no one" you are referring to is Randle. Another part of the same is that every time Match goes for a block we never get the defensive rebound. The scheme is: Mitch boxes out> someone (Randle) gets the board. If Mitch does not box out then no one does and we don't get the board

100%

I found it also weird when Clyde called out RJ for his defensive efforts mid year at some point. It is glaring.
