Have hit the nail on the head with pretty much everything these past couple news letters.
I have similar concerns- they have 4 guys who can really light it up from three created by Giannis still playing- Grayson, PC, Wes Matthews and Lopez. I'm interested to see how Billy will use the rotation of the "big"- Pwill, Vuc, Tristan. As much as I despise Tristan's offensive game, would him being in the post neutralize Giannis a little more?
(That being said, a Tristan Thompson high ball screen on Demar is the worst play we can run)
People can yell about Vuc/whoever taking threes. But I say if you have an open look fire away. If Vuc/anyone else is open from three please take it. Someone is bound to get hot. Stretch the floor, space out, lock in, etc.
Will also be interesting to see how Caruso is used against Giannis like he was late in the game.
The thing on Tristan is this: firstly, he actually played much better in Game 2. But also, if a guy like Caruso can guard Giannis as well as Thompson down low -- and be much better on the perimeter -- it kind of doesn't make sense. I've changed my tune a bit, though. I don't have 12 Tristan minutes if he's good for those 5 or so crucial rebounds.
