Rozier is the obvious choice, and yet not one of your options.

I like your pick, still, a tough road game, a kind of those where experience matters. At least to open the things up in a brighter light. While we won both of the games we started poorly, I would try to avoid it for the 3rd time in a row. I might go with Marcus, but gut feeling is TR.

We started poorly because in both games we had IT guarding Wall in the beginning of the game.  Rozier made Wall work a lot harder when they were matched up.  Also, Terry's a terrific defensive rebounder, which is obviously a problem for us, especially early on in games.

Yes I did... But that small lineup wont fly on a consistent basis

Maybe in spurts or if players are hot

Imagine that small lineup vs Cavs... You make it sound it its the top option moving fwd

Seriously.   Is SF even a real position anymore in the NBA?

Our most dominant lineup features four guards and a power forward.

2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Bigs - Shaquille O'Neal, Victor Wembanyama

Starting Rozier would mean that Thomas would be on Porter, which he often has during this series. Still, considering how Brown played and how complimentary Stevens was about his D on Beal, I expect him to get the nod.

Yes, IMO, it is a choice between

Def. matchups
Wall - TR
Beal - AB
Porter - IT
Morris - Crowder
Gortat - Al

or

Wall - AB
Beal - Smart
Porter - IT
Morris - Crowder
Gortat - Al

I think Brown.   Leave Smart and KO with their current bench position.   The 2nd unit is working well.  Plus, Brown's confidence is on the rise.   He plays well with the starters.   See if they can push that confident play even higher.
