I think it's fair to say we are not going to beat them in a seven game series. We just aren't. Knowing that, I don't think it can hurt to try to start Faves (if he feels okay) or at least sub him in a little earlier alongside Rudy to see how that works. Likewise, we should experiment in other ways as well to see what works, what doesn't work. Maybe not yet. Maybe save all this for the 2nd half of game 2 if it's ugly. But it really can't hurt and I think is a good experiment of sorts to perform for us to look back to for next year and the year after.
That said, and somebody said this earlier in this thread, GS just looked much, much quicker to me. Up and down the court. Penetrating. With their passes. With their ability to catch and shoot from three. It's scary really. Almost unfair. For us, this needs to be addressed this off-season in many ways. We just aren't athletic enough. We need a really athletic 2/3 who can defend and hopefully create a little and shoot the 3. That's not Burks, sorry, and I don't think Hood isn't athletic enough. We could also maybe use someone like OG Anunoby who is both athletic and strong as hell and has some offensive ability and the potential to perhaps offset Draymond, Kawhi, and their ilk in the years to come. Or maybe the kid from SMU but he's really only a 3/(maybe 4) strong, athletic combo. All this is for another day once the series is over though.
