Then I thought, you really want to attack the non Gobert minutes when he is on the bench. Minny is more versatile but Dallas uses this time to really attack the rim. Not sure a combo of Powell and Maxi gets the maximum benefit here.
I think you want to play Maxi when Gobert is on the floor. He‘ll get every rebound as soon as Gafford sits anyway, so why not play five out with Washington and Kleber and maybe Jones and Washington for a couple of stints and put Gobert on skates. We‘ll need a very good offensive performance tonight with consistent shooting to not fall behind too much and then end it in crunch time like the last three games. Only way we lose is if fall behind by 20 or more.
