I wonder if Brad was experimenting with doubling Siakam. That left their shooters wide open. Itis looking more and more that Siakam does not need to be doubled. Stay home with their shooters and get a strong body on Siakam.
I domt think Brad played Ojeleye in the second half at all. Ojeleye has been given three years by the Cs and he has not been able to deliver. Not even one spark game.
I would hope that if Hayward was healthy Semi wouldn't be playing at all in this series.
I think there are things that CBS sees that most of us don't. It's almost random at times why he plays a certain bench guy and not another, but its remarkable how often those guys make a few plays for the Cs.
I think CBS likes keeping Siakim off balance by putting a lot of different defenders on him. Smart and Brown both affect you in different ways. Semi and Williams are both rocks that Siakim can't move back.
I've noticed that the Cs have almost completely eliminated Siakim's deadly drop step spin. I think they are meeting him with strength and then baiting him into regular shots, fade-aways, hooks, etc. while staying right in front of him. Siakim just doesn't have the skill right now to make shots like that. He doesn't have those shots in his arsenal.
