Playoff Rotation

[Chicagojk]

My guess is that THj will get minutes early in the Clippers series. But I'm also guessing that his impact early will determine his minutes going forward. If he's still in a funk, you really can't rely on him for very many minutes as the playoffs progress. He's too one-dimensional. In the event he shoots poorly, I suspect someone else will be the first guy off the bench.

The Hardaway I would like to see in the playoffs (I am expecting he will get minutes...probably around 20) is the Hardaway after he goes 1-8 in the first half.  This Hardaway is more reserved and does not look to get his own all the times.   Just take good shots when you are in position to do so.  

What I fear is the Hardaway that goes 1-8 when he enters the game. Sometimes it is after he hits 2 of his first 3 shots.   Then you know there are at least 2 Hardaway heat checks coming.  Those drive me wild.   Only Kyrie and Luka have the right for those shots.   Even when he makes early shots, he typically shoots himself to a bad percentage because he takes really difficult shots.
