    Good job. The only thing i would suggest is when you are discussing a specific player and what he should do, use video clips of them doing what you are describing. A couple times, you are discussing cj but dame is handling and shooting the ball. Didn't seem to fit.

    Start Hood and Collins. Play ML and Skal. ML on Plumlee. Skal had not been seen and could be the surprise Denver never thought of.

    While your waiting for the game to start, might as well start getting the warriors match-up.

    Great idea - change the entire rotation of what has gotten us to the cusp of the WCF!

    BonesJones, you are missing what will win this game, which is the potent team unity and energy from the bench evident in the 3 wins over DEN. We Blazers must keep up the hustle and determination that allows defensive stops, rebounds, good multiple pass assists, and superior swish3 scoring. We need to use a 10 or 11 man rotation that features hot swish3 shooting by Dame, CJ, Seth, Meyers, and Rodney, and keeps fresh legs on the floor. When there are lapses by Enes, Mo, Chief, or anyone, Blazer coaches need to substitute for maximized bench energy just as Steve Kerr did to finish off the HOU Rockets.

    Leaving the swish3 scoring efficiency, screening, best Jokic defense, spacing, assists, and box outs of Meyers on the bench was a contributor to losing games 4 and 5. What I imagine seeing on the floor are the twin towers of Meyers and Zach to limit the scoring of Jokic and Millsap respectively. Meyers has been the best against Jokic and Zach found the upper hand in Game 6 on Millsap, and this combination can provide the defense, scoring, rebounds, and energy to win this semifinals round. We need to optimize use of the talent off the bench. Let's go Blazer talent and coaches!
