Can’t wait to see this fail. Maybe then those who don’t embrace space, pace and switchable defense will finally go away.
Hypothetically, what makes you think it won't work? A few teams are going back to big lineups. Cleveland had much early season success playing big before injuries set in. But I don't think playing that way is conducive to playoff success as was shown by Utah when teams play smaller switchable lineups where the bigs have to guard in space.
