I think our bench depth gives us an advantage over the Grizz. Having Burks, JJ and Favors in the 2nd unit is our advantage. I think we'd win that series in 6.

I actually like our chances against the Rockets if we can get them in a series. Again, it's our depth while defense becomes a bigger factor usually in the POs.

Depth is less important in the playoffs, especially now. Teams only really go 8-9 players deep in the playoffs because you don't have BTB games. Also Favors isn't a bench guy.

Really? Did you not see what Isaiah Thomas was doing to Rudy Gobert in the PNR? They will just send Rudy to defend the ball screen and if he doesnt show then elite pull-up 3pt shooters will murder us and if he shows too much they will just blow by him and have the advantage. It's the one negative about Gobert compared to a guy like DeAndre Jordan. Gobert isn't as good at showing on ball screens.

Thats for the coaches to sort out but they don't have a stretch 4/5 to pull and keep Rudy out of the paint. And hey, we probably won't beat them this year but we match up against them as well as anyone. We will need our old Favors and a good Rodney back to really challenge them though.

GH v Steph
Hood/Ingles v Klay
Hayward v KD (admittedly this is tough but hopefully Hayward can at least negate KDs influence)
Favors v Green
Gobert v Zaza


If our PG and wings can somewhat neutralize the effect of Klay, KD and Steph then the game will come down to the bigs and bench play and who on their roster could stop a healthy Favors??
