He brought a certain tone that we know’s been missing. Johnson might be that guy but at the 4 spot. He’s also played a ton with Richardson, so that could be beneficial out the gate. (That’s an interesting study by the way, but a clear picture emerged to me of how those 2 fit really well.)^yes, good points
The 5 may be a matchup decision game by game until KP is back. Or, who knows, maybe Dwight will surprise us all. KP will be rested a ton, too, so finding that right 4/5 mix pretty quick would be nice.
The closing lineup concerns me most. If that gets fixed.....we will be a really happy bunch.
Guys/gals, i think it’s time to let the dogs out and roam around without a leash
Luka/Hardaway had great chemistry. Richardson/Johnson have history of playing together. Put Maxi with these 4 until KP comes back. Even if it’s more in name only and there’s several other types of lineup configurations. Really like the idea of setting a defensive tone to the game early with this group.
As an added bonus the bench 3-4-5 combo of DFS-DP-Maxi have great chemistry as well. Seems like all 3 would thrive against 2nd units.
