**** OFFICIAL Twolves vs Jimmy Butler - 6pm NBATV ****

Post by UnFadeable21 »

Early game. No Roco which will hurt our defense.

Philly uses a big line up

Simmons
Reddick
Butler
Chandler
Embiid

Looks like Wolves will have to hide Teague, Tyus, Rose on JJ. Going to be tough one tonight

Clothes line of Butler by Wiggins would be the greatest thing ever and all would be forgiven between me and Sleepy.

He spent most of his time in Iowa, so is this a burn towards Des Moines?

Wolves should change their lineup to match

Teague/Jones (Jones is my preference)
Wiggins
Gibson
Saric
Towns

Have Toliver backup the 4 and use Rose at 2 with Okogie at the 3.

I don't know about that. Taj guarding Simmons is made easier by the fact that Embiid and Chandler both tend to play inside. Simmons doesn't shoot outside the paint more than twice a game. With good help they should be fine. Also I think Taj would likely end up guarding Simmons anyway (unless your going to use the 6-4 Okogie with a a big wing span.)

I think Simmons would have a field day if you lock Taj on him. He just does not have the lateral quickness to stay with Simmons consistently. And I'm not trusting the help between how to slow Simmons rolling down the lane and playing drop coverage so Embiid doesn't dunk on you every possession.

Way too risky.

I feel like it's up to Okogie and Wiggins to mainly slow that penetration of Simmons. Some Taj perhaps some Rose just because that's what we have. Just keep him out of the paint at all costs.

Shit, we could use him in a game like this without RoCo. Where were you Layden? Rewriting your resume?
