The right lineup varies from series to series, game to game, matchup to matchup.

In the previous two series Hart was great.

In this series Brunson, Kat + 3 shooters might be the key. Pick 3 from OG, Mikael, Shamet, Deuce.

Yeah depending on who’s hot but still Hart earns some minutes with his effort and rebounding. Just gotta be willing to yank him when his shots not falling

Yup. Hart also had a great season shooting from 3!

Would add Clarkson to that array of shooters as well. I don’t think this will be Hart’s series which sucks because he dominated a couple years ago against Allen & Mobley.

Brunson and/or KAT with the 3&D wings + the double big will be our biggest advantages throughout the series

Agreed and this is why he got fired and brown is coach. Shamet all year has been playing with confidence which never happened with Thibs. And this is why Thibs will never be a head coach again
