So what do we need position for position to compete against them? I guess our plan will be to be bigger and stronger than them, even when they play both their bigs - and therefore we‘d have to keep AD at the four and play Flagg on a smaller position.
OKC's starting lineup was outscored in the Denver series (-1.3 net rating). I'd play AD at the 5 and pray they don't take one of Chet/Hartenstein off the court. Being bigger and more physical position for position is important, but I don't think you can afford to tank your spacing or give them more targets to attack on the other end.
