Small-Ball Antidote???

[Jason Terry]

Minnesota has some lengthy players.

Is small ball to you all mean the other teams players have to be able to shoot/score?

Because:

Edwards
McDaniels
Alexander-Walker
Reid

Are all switchable if I am not mistaken.  Reid can drain 3's too.  They have Conley, Slo-mo, Warren.

Seems like they have guys to play small to me...and arent major liabilities.

Edwards and McDaniels have already shut Luka and Kyrie down before late game.  Alexander-Walker has long arms like DJJ.  Reid is better than Maxi.

What am I missing?

I think it’s all about Gobert and KAT, but mainly Gobert. Minny does have the horses for small ball. If they play that way though, they’re wasting their max player(s) as they are sitting on the bench if small ball is their best lineup. 

Its not a big deal for us to sit Gafford if we needed. We’re the ones with the elite offense and best guards in the NBA

If they go small our guys feast at the rim 

It feels like we’re at the point where WE will be dictating how the game goes. Clippers will sit Zubac just like we would sit Powell. Desperation and lack of better options
