However, I would replace scola with thompson in the starting lineup:
KL
DD
DC
JT
JV
to me that's the best overall lineup, a JT/JV frontcourt works well, especially since indiana will likely play 3 wings, 2 bigs, so that JV doesn't murder them on the boards. DC locks down PG13, everyone else does their job adequately on D, and on O you got 4 people who can shoot the 3 (demar has come a long way, and JT has shown a competent 3pt shot).
I could totally see a rotation like this effectively sweep the pacers."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Start Powell game one but LIMIT his minutes, bring Carroll first off the bench for Scola, Then Pat for Powell. Limit Scola to 12 minutes or less. He will actually do very good in those minutes. Limit powell to about 18minutes and Carroll to 25-30minutes
If it was me i would do something like this (10 man rotation)
Lowry - 38mins
Demar - 38mins
Pat - 29mins
JV - 29mins
Carroll - 25mins
Ross - 20mins
Cojo - 20mins
Bis - 19mins
Powell - 19mins
Scola - 3mins
to end the game it should always be
Lowry - Demar - Carroll - Pat - JVAbbas wrote:

Both looks like a dream, and maybe Casey tries to use it if pacers decide to use 4 wing 1 big line-up (he used to be more reactionary in terms of match-ups).
Still I don't understand why do you want to start JT in place of Scola and treat it like game changing move that will allow us to sweep Pacers. Somehow 5/15 in the season from 3 makes you competent 3PT shooter... Also wanted to check JT playoff experience, but zero zilch null nada. Sure that's sometimes not up to the player, but I'd much rather see if FIBA Scola shows up, then if not his minutes should be split between PPat/Caroll, given how well Powell/Ross would be able to backup 2/3 slot. It's easier to get cohesion with 9 man rotation than 11.

Thompson isn't a great fit but anyone is better than Luis.

Thompson has had little time to prove anything, but in that limited time has done very, very well. I'd rather take the gamble he works out than settle for the inevitable failure that Scola represents.

FIBA Scola is fun (I love an old man post game as much as anybody) but overrated. He gives up just as much at the other end of the floor. I remember playing Cleveland and him and Kevin Love scoring on each other at will. It doesn't really help the team get ahead.
JT has looked very good next to JV and would be completely fine facing off against Lavoy Allen. More than fine - JT is better."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
