We need to play our strengths, and let them try adapt to our gameplan. On offense, and defense. Can we accomplish this? If we do, we win. If we need to adapt all the time, Phoenix will win and advance.
On offense, Luka-Powell pick and roll, will get a lot stronger weapon, now that we do not face Gobert. This is what we need to enforce more as the key point of offense, and let Phoenix try adapting to this. If this means getting help from perimeter, then Luka will find open players on the perimeter. We are starting shooting really well lately, so this could be what sends Phoenix out of the playoffs, that they simply will not be able to adapt to this gameplan.
On defense, it's tough. Phoenix can shoot, and also in mid range game, and we don't put this in focus so much. We are great at stopping the 3 pt shot, and the inside in paint. But mid range? The way CP and Booker are making these, unfortunately, we also have some adjustments to do, as Phoenix has on their defense with Luka-Powell combo.
This will be a tight one. Is Booker full strenght for the entire series?
Small things will decide the outcome. And we need to pay attention to the small things here, to the smallest of details, in such matchups as these.
