    I know why he plays Solo, BBIQ and energy but Solo energy is neutralized in the playoffs so basically you playing him because he's smart but he has no specific thing he does well at this level of play other than be in the right places which don't matter cause they gonna score anyway 

    I'm surprised you would say this. Solo was gambling and getting blown by over and over again this game. Absolutely awful performance from him.

    That can work but not in the last two minutes.  He barely touched the ball down the stretch.

    Plenty of time to hack Giannis or swap defenders or put him on his ass...ANYTHING!

    Truth lies in the middle for me.  If Nate puts Cam in and he is overmatched and we lose then he will get blamed.  If he puts in Snell and he gets torched and we lose he will get the blame.  If he plays Solo and we lose, he will get the blame.  Once Trae got hurt and Middleton got hot, it may well have been that every possible strategy led to a loss.  I was wondering if we shouldn’t have left Trae on the bench.  
     

    But on the other hand, the expected result when Solo plays is a big negative.  He was the Big 0 tonight with 0 points, 0 assists, 0 offensive rebounds, 0 steals and 0 blocks to go with his -14 +/- in 15 minutes of play.  And none of that is particularly surprising for him.  
     

    I’m going to split the baby and not blame Nate for the loss while also hoping he doesn’t rely like this on Solo again.  Putting Cam in could be a disaster but that feels like taking a swing.  Solo feels like watching that pitch go down the middle of the plate and taking the strikeout without swinging.  

    What about Hack-a-Giannis? Once you see Middleton scoring 10 points in 2 minutes, you have to do something, anything to slow him down.

    You're probably not getting to the finals with guys like Collins, Hunter or Bogi as your number 2.

    Good players but you need a little more at this time of the year.

    The bench also needs some changes. Gallo pretty much has ran solo in terms of the bench.

    Lou Williams didn't really pay off... 

    Solo should be cut ASAP.

    There is probably less than a week to go... We'll see what happens.

     

     

     

    Collins was riding the bench in foul trouble for WAY TOO LONG. I would much rather John Collins foul out than play only 23 minutes.

    The big difference is that team was a veteran elite team with plenty of playoff experience and expected to be competing on that stage; but THIS is a brand new extremely young team without a lick of playoff experience until now and they weren't even supposed to be here yet. This is ALL gravy. 

    Not to mention even IF we lose this series, acknowledging the above, we would wind up taking the number 1 seed to 7 games WITHOUT our 2nd best player for the entire series. 

    Don't bail them out. This was a very obtainable win. Jitters on the FT line and riding Solo to -13 is why we lose.
