[King] Smart on going big: “Last year, we started that lineup with Rob and it worked out well for us. We just wanted to get back to what we know. Everybody was comfortable with it. Everybody understood their assignments, and it made things a little bit easier for us.”

Why does going back to double bigs is such a big of a deal? Yeah of course, media.
That starting lineup was struggling a lot in the regular season though. Mostly due to both bigs taking a step back in the regular season though probably (Horford a bit older and Rob was hurt/rusty for big chunks of the season).
I’m curious to see how Philly adjusts to this. If they hit their shots then folks will say they adjusted even if there was actually little change to their offense/defense
Idk how much was Rob vs smart/Tatum but there were some rough passes and fumbles on O, hopefully they can improve that in game 7.
Just do what Ime said.
