I don't think you can just treat him like Donovan Mitchell and just tell him to knock himself out and go score as much as he wants, because he's much better than Donovan Mitchell. But by that same token... Do you cross-match Miles Turner onto Lou Dort and just say, if Lou Dort kills us and if he's our P.J. Washington, we'll live with it? Or, you know, and leave him at the rim?

Do you put Tress Nimhardt on him? How much do you want to help? I think that ideally, if I was Rick Carlisle, I'd keep Turner at the rim and just, if Lou Dort wins the finals, then it was never meant to be. I would keep Halliburton in the deep corner and then have our three best defenders, Nimhardt being point of attack on Shea, and then our other two best defenders, like a...

nie smith and a siakam on the slots to kind of dig in and gap on shay whenever he tries to get to the elbow and i have the pickup point be lower i would not pick shay up anywhere before he gets to the free throw and extended area i think that you saw minnesota in the tale of that series yeah their big win in game three they picked them up much lower why they didn't do it besides game three and like why they didn't do it outside of game three i'll never know honestly you cannot pick shay up too high

Yeah, I can see this being a situation like the Minnesota series where the Thunder start double bigs every game. That's their starting lineup. But I think when the final buzzer sounds and you review the minutes and the rotation, their starting lineup in minutes played was actually Chet Holmgren at the five by himself. So the double bigs were starters in name only.

I think that this is going to be how the series goes, where the Thunder are better off with just one center on the floor at a time. The Thunder can also throw their small ball lineup out there, which is Caruso and Kinrich, and see if anything sticks with that and scale up Dub and scale up Caruso.

That's helped them in the past, but I do think that at the end of the day, they'll be better off with just one center on the floor at a time.

I think it's so interesting. I would probably, in the double big lineups, I would probably have Hartenstein on him and just hope that the length of Hartenstein can contest the threes and kind of make up for the ground he has to concede by positioning himself a bit further off of the three-point line to make up for drives, opportunities and post-ups from Turner.

But in the single big lineups, I could see it being Chet and having Dub scale up to defend Siakam. And then kind of it's a seamless fit from there. You have Dort,
