To me much of the series boils down to health. The first out with injury between Rubio and Paul will decide the series. 12 minutes from Korver could eliminate Neto and lighten Mitchell’s and Ribio’s load The more we see Mitchell at backup point the better our chances. O’Neil and Korver or even Allen forcing PT is huge.

Royce and Niang are going to have to pick up their 3PA to make up for Korver being out. I don't understand why Royce doesn't get more shot attempts. I know he is primarily focusing on D but we are going to need to get points from someone else to complement Mitchell/Rudy/Ingles/Favors. I don't have much confidence in Jae right now.

royce doesn't get enough shot attempts because he doesn't or can't take them. unless he has an open lane for a dunk/layup or a completely wide open 3, he won't shoot. he's also not really good at creating any offense. he's your basic 3+D guy. grayson can generate his own offense + draw fouls, but I'd be worried about his defense in this series despite his improvement on that end of the ball. royce can also guard more positions than grayson, but he has to be willing to take some contested shots.

Quin needs to shorten it up for this series. 6 guys. DM needs to play 48 a night.
