I wouldn't be surprised to see them try anything a time or two, tbh. But you can color me astounded if Bobi is a starter over any significant period of time at all. (I've been astounded before, so this doesn't mean it won't happen, lol). There is a philosophy among some coaches that it is best to start with a strong defensive unit. Our title team did that in the playoffs, starting DeShawn Stevenson and closing with Jason Terry. But it is TBD what view on that Kidd and Igor will adopt.
Interesting points.
Thx ML. Great points. In practice, in NBA, that probably works better to start your best defense just by former experiences you mention. My comment was inspired by some former NFL offenses with bad defenses, that still almost always win games, because they could outscore opponents.
What do you think about the above starting five? Would that work or they would be outplayed?
