How to prevent this Murder and Massacre?
We need inside defenders, to cope with Jokic. Thats the key to win. One big is not going to make it. Expect WCS to get bullied. Jokic has a very low centre of gravity and a lot of force. WCS doesnt stand a chance essentially. He struggled with Cousins, and will even more perhaps with Jokic.
But I do believe Bobi can make some trouble for him actually. I would like to see how Bobi can do against the Joker. They are both huge, and do not have the quickness and speed. Jokic is obviously bit quicker, but Bobi has clear height advantage. Jokic has it easiest with light weight bigs, and WCS fits this to the point. Id also put in JJ as he can play D next to Bobi. At least JJ can shoot from outside and spread, while Luka can operate with Bobi inside.
I would keep Luka-Brunson pairing. They play so great together, that I am considering that this might even be better than Luka-JRich, at least in the long run.
Starting lineup for tonight:
Luka
Brunson
THJ
JJ
Bobi
Scale down significantly on playing Green. Instead bring in Tyler Bey on the wing. Bring in Terry more and get some plays for him, off the ball, I have a feeling he can shoot lights out. He is the player you set the screen for and see if he can make those shots in the nBA. He seems to as someone perhaps with more potential off the ball, catch and shoot for easy points.
So from the bench I would rely a lot tonight on WCS, Tyler Bey, Terry, Iwundu while I would play Green and Hinton way less.
EDIT: Is KP not playing? If so I would start KP and Bobi, instead of KP/JJ. They would make it hard for the Joker.
