Rick Carlisle has Seth Curry running all over the place bringing a defender with him, occasionally right through the key, bumping into defenders. Nurse needs to try and take advantage of the respect they already have for Thomas.

Nice. From what I've seen so far, the opponent guarding Matt Thomas can't do absolutely anything else on defence, except staying glued to him. Can't help another teammate, can't position for a rebound, can't leak out in transition etc.. if they do, they run a serious risk of getting rained 3's on.
So that leads to 3 things:
1.You tire the heck of whoever is guarding him, because Thomas himself never stops moving on offence (and he always got gas because his minutes are limited), so the guy guarding him not only can't do anything else on defence, but he's now also physically and mentally drained on his own offensive possessions
2. You disrupt any defensive schemes the opponent would prefer to do it if they had a choice. 3-2 zones, organized switches, pnr coverages, all mucked up because now you need one dedicated guy on Thomas, so they gotta organize their D with just 4 guys.
3. You're now basically playing 4 on 4 on offence , which means a ton of more extra space for other guys to get buckets. He's one of those players that can go a whole game with just 1 or 2 buckets and still finish with a solid + net rating because of how much disruption he creates on the opposing D from his gravity. Needs more minutes imo.

Fun fact per The Athletic:
Matt Thomas is a +58.6 net rating in the series so far.
Hopefully he can get some space to go off for some triples. 😎

WTF was that Bucks twitter flex all about? Are they still shook about being up 2-0 and getting swept?
