Joe Mazzulla on preparing bench players for the NBA Finals: “We all have expectations of ourselves, that expectation is probably higher than anything from any other place.” “Our bench has been great all year. There’s nothing really to change, they’ve done great for us.”

Actually bench really has been solid; only real struggle i see is Hausers 3pt shooting. As soon as he gets back to his normal form, it’s so over for Mavs/Wolves
I really think hausers 3 pt will come back in the finals. I think the fast pace really threw sam off the last 2 series. Will definitely slow down in the finals imo
Keep on keeping on. Trust yourselves. It’s different here.
So if you look at the lens of Al a bench guy the bench was fine in the pacers series. Pritchard was pretty bad on defense the whole pacer series. Sam had bad first two and was playing well the last two. He just looks uncomfortable shooting, just so hard to give him minutes if he can not hit shots. Honestly the hope is with prinzgus back we barely need to go past 8.
please god let the Maine Celtics win us a game it would be so funny
I bet Sam contributes in a big way to at least 1 finals win
I thought the bench was kinda poor against Indy. Granted the best bench guy was playing as a starter but pp and hauser struggled as did kornet. Everyone including brissett and Tillman had some bright moments but it’s tough to win when the starters score 99% of the points.
I believe in Sam Hauser 🙌🏼
