2018-19 lineup analysis

[Crow]

Raptors' second most used lineup sucked in playoffs including before the finals. They went with it normal and got a bad first game. Somewhat better after that for a while. But it almost cost them game 6 when it sucked very badly. They avoided suffering too much hurt from it but barely. Should they have tried something else more? Probably. But nah, coach stayed with it.

Thunder in playoffs. Starters sucked in game 1. Game 2, no adjustment, sucked. No adjustment, just ok in game 3. What to do in game 4? No adjustment, sucked horribly. Great in game 5 but too late, not enough.

By the regular season it was very good but when should you take the playoff feedback to heart? In most cases you have to do it early... or it will be too late.

Bucks starting lineup in playoffs only modestly positive thru first 2 rounds with Mirotic. 20 pts better per 100 possessions with Sterling Brown over Mirotic. What do they do against Raptors? Stay with Mirotic and completely go away from the starters with S Brown. Results? Mirotic and starters suck and lose.

Everybody satisfied with their lineup management?

There are ways to get alternative advice. To use or not.
