The benefit of the 1 seed is you can pretty much start scouting Game 2. Golden is smart and will be ready. He pretty much stated what he is preparing for in his presser, which is spot on. Borges was obsessed with Billy Donovan in that presser btw, was weird.

We need all 5 fouls out of Reed today. There is no reason not to extend him.

We need to get hot from 3 and for them to be cold, for any chance. We need Tarris to be disruptive down low during their 2 center rotation. Lose with your best players playing every minute they should.

My biggest curiosity is whether Dan has any wrinkle he's willing to use here - his creativity has been minimal this year, stuck in a lot of what won him the titles. I've seen very little adapting to the current roster, more a continuance of trying to get this roster to play the scheme. In a one game format that can end your season, against a team that is basically better at every position other that maybe the 5, you should have at least one or two wrinkles ready to go to stop a run.

This team should be loose and relaxed today, as the underdog. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
