at this point there's really NOTHING to lose for us, might as well mix it up

go back to the opening lineup

things i want to see but probably won't happen

1. Kyrie / Brown / Tatum / Hayward / Horford
2. less 3s
3. play team basketball
4. Can Smart play more minutes ? should it matter? he should be taking Roziers minutes
5. More Baynes

I'd like them to set a record of some kind.  Maybe try to attempt more threes in a single game than any team in the playoffs ever has.


If you're going to get killed by a far superior opponent, at least do something interesting before your season ends.

Not start Irving to send a message that his poor play won't be tolerated?

why concede the game from the opening tip by starting Williams?  he'll get eaten alive.  kid's too raw at this point to use in more than an isolated situation blocking an inbounds pass or grabbing an important rebound.

The season is over. I'll settle for them playing hard for 48 minutes and making a few shots for a change.

And start.... Terry Rozier?

The only adjustment I see is starting Smart and completely benching Rozier.

A whole new offense where guys move off the ball and cut to the rim instead standing around waiting for kick out 3's to miss.
Except that this team doesn't give up ANYTHING at the rim, this strategy might work.  Unfortunately, going to the rim more is a bigger recipe for disaster.  We basically have to just hope guys make shots basically.

my anger and frustration seeing them miss 90/100 3s might cause me to break my own TV

In that scenario I'd start Smart, but Rozier would be fine as well.  And remember I said not start, not play.  Also, I was joking.

I like it. Let's give the ball to the 30 Million Dollar Man every trip down the floor and see how many shot attempts he ends up with. We can take over/under bets in the game thread.

Actually, this is the plan I would go with.  If people recall, the only win this year against them was record breaking from three point land.  And, as I've stated numerous times, we are not going to finish at the rim against the bucks on a consistent basis.  As it is, we've gone to the rim plenty of time but it has not worked.

So yeah, bombs away!

First, act like you want to win instead of other player's feelings.

Start Baynes
 
Then Morris and Smart off the bench as in years past, they know their roles.

Then Semi to rest Horford. At least Semi knows his role.

And that is it.... an 8 man rotation.

Hayward, at this moment, hurts the team. Watch his minutes. The other team doesn't even bother with him and why should they? You earn your minutes.

Irving - Horford - Brown - Tatum - Morris.....take all the shots.

Start Baynes, play Williams instead of Rozier and Ojeleye.
