The guys who CAN stay on the floor during crunch time are some of the most valuable players in the league. If we had Collins/Holmes against the clips and they go small we would’ve punished them on the inside while also having enough length and athleticism to defend at a higher level than we did. If they are then forced to keep Zubac on the floor… Luka just torched him again.
Like this opinion but am uncertain that Collins and Holmes could stay on the floor vs., say, the Clips or the Suns. Would like to hear more about why folks think they could.
