Need both, but that ain’t happening.

Wow! What a game!
We had the formula in 2020.
Now go get a couple of BIGS.

Ya, I tend to think it's one or the other. And "depth" might team with "frontcourt size" for that matter.

Pacers
Mavs
Wolves

I swear to God......

Pacers ain't it.
I don't trust 2 guards.
It's gotta be Minny.

Not surprised. Denver won a championship and were worried about talking about us during thier parade.

I sae this L coming with how they struggled with us.

We should have won that series.

Stand relatively pat mostly. Add size at the 3 and 5.

Vando being around would have helped some with rebounding. Even Wood wouldn’t have been a negative on the boards. Not saying either tilts it, just nudges it in a direction.

Game 1: 9 less rebounds (all offensive), 23 less shots. Lost by 11. 13 more FTs accounts for some shot disparity, 8 more turnovers didn’t help the shot disparity.
Game 2: 7 less rebounds (5 less offensive), 10 less shots. Lost by 2. 5 more turnovers.
Game 3: 13 less rebounds (6 less offensive), same amount of shots, lost by 7. 6 less turnovers.
Game 4: 6 more rebounds ( 1 more offensive), took 5 more shots. Won.
Game 5: Fluky because AD was done by the 3rd. 5 less rebounds (2 more offensive). 5 less shots


If they could add a bigger SF who could slide down to the 2 for a small stretch to run a big lineup. That has some rebounding capability and a bruiser 5 to backup AD and get boards.

It’s as close as they are going to get without trying to empty cupboard roster construct a team.

I just want to know who are these random hypothetical valuable players (that a ton of teams need btw) that are just growing on trees apparently?

Minnesota beat the champs with their head coach sitting in the second row, not coaching.
