    Bench Rolo? Start CJ over Afflalo? Elevate Frazier over Blake? Nothing different?

    What changes would you make/not make to get this series back to Portland?

    Frazier over Blake would take some cajones but it could be worth trying

    Start Meyers. Lopez 12 mins, Freeland gets backup PF minutes. CJ gets 36 mins.

    I'd rather start Crabbe and Freeland, and give CJ and Meyers big minutes of the bench still.

    Well, Meyers hit two threes off passes from Blake and one from Afflalo. Who is going to pass to him?

    If I'm Stotts the only way I play Frazier being someone who has played very little in the NBA... It's for 2 minutes then I get him out of there.
    He'll be nervous as fuck. Let him get his feet wet... But he'll be nervous.

    If Rolo doesn't show out. I'd Start Freeland in the second half.
    Rolo's play is terrible right now. How he's let Nards be the better rim defender in the playoffs is beyond me.

    What I do beyond that though is I show the team a picture of when the starters were sitting on the announcing table in game 5 vs the Spurs last year.
    I ask them what did they learn?

    I would note, CJ and Meyers were 5 of 5 from three point range. The rest of the team was 3 for 20.
    Introduce your starters to your shooters.

    You should know my answer by now, although if Lillard and McCollum ignore Meyers in Memphis like they did in the second half they won't be coming back home to play a game 6.

    Yes to the first three questions. I never want to see Blake on the court again.
