This team has constantly looked better on defense playing small than playing their normal sized lineup. Part of that is not having Barnes and Sabonis together but so much of it is just because our small guys play tighter on their men than our normal-sized guys,
If they allow the players around Sabonis and Barnes to be in more of a ball pressure mode it will help everyone on the team.

We are a very different team against the Warriors second unit. I'm pretty sure we made up most of that lead last time around in Chase against the second unit as well.
It's quite curious, because the Warriors' second unit relies heavily on kids that are going to determine how long Golden State's "window" stays open. So far, aside from Poole, it doesn't seem like they're up to the task.

100%. Shot blocking is important too but this smaller lineup is doing a great job of walling off the paint and discouraging threes and GS's second unit was clearly getting frustrated.

People are getting so riled up with the Nets and all the other drama, this bit of fact has been haunting the Ws for a couple of years now.
