Baynes off the bench to match up with Monroe. Smart looked good at shoot around but still game time decision.
I like this, theis has some speed and size to maybe still with greco and has a few fouls to give. You really have to step back and appreciate Gianni's improvement and how he seems to be a good guy/attitude
Good. This is what I was calling for in the last game vs Milwaukee = Theiss.
The team needed more size and length at the forward slots without Hayward. Stevens instead went small and used more small backcourts and three guard lineups. Which opened up our defense too much and did not provide enough extra offense to justify it. Theiss won't give that offense either but he will allow the C's to stay bigger and retain more defensive & rebounding integrity.
Happy to see this adjustment made.
