THAT is what the playoffs will be like. I LOOOOOVE Lively, but he can't hang with guys like Durant, Kawhi, LeBron, etc. Basically all the good teams (except for Minnesota, who doesn't worry me in the least) have a way to play with super skill and foot speed at every position.
That's why the Mavs are TRYING to get a lineup with Williams at the 5 to work, and while it hasn't looked good yet, I wish people here were more supportive and open-minded about it, because it's ABSOLUTELY the right type of thought.
THAT'S why they need a "guy who's at least 6'8" that can dribble"...so he can play CENTER in the playoffs. And no, WCJ isn't the answer.
To me, this is what most recommends Siakam as our potential “missing piece.” PJ Washington could also probably fit the bill. Omax in a couple years. Kyrie, Luka, Exum/Green, Siakam and either Maxi or DJJ or Grant Willams is a nice 5 out offense and defense that won’t get killed on the glass.
