    While Harkless is still out against the Pelicans it makes sense for Balwin to be the backup 3 against their wings.

    Yeah he matches up well with them. They pretty much start three guards and their backups are all good matchups for Baldwin.

    A flatout fantastic performance to cap the regular season. Dame is one special leader. Good to see CJ get it going again. Ed and Zach playing great combo basketball as well. And even though his finishing was off, Nurk was dispensing justice in crunchtime. Got a good feeling. Time to go Nurk-u-ler. Keep doubting Dame world, because that's like adding fuel to the fire. "rip city!", Yes Sir.

    Baldwin guarded everyone from Mitchell to Crowder. Not bad for basically a Rookie.

    Baldwin just needs to not commit stupid fouls.
    Past two games he's got tagged for this shit. It could keep him out of the playoff rotation.

    We have no one who can guard Davis. This won't be easy

    Chief and ET will probably chase him around most of the time if he wants to shoot from outside

    Guard everyone else. He can't win a game by himself.

    That was my worry after his initial game in Memphis. He is basically a rookie in the refs minds. He is not going to get the benefit of the doubt like others might. But regardless it is great experience for him and could pay off for us next year.

    We don't need to guard him. He can't score the 115 that they will need to beat us. We need to shut everyone else down. Jrue and Mirotic.
