Talk about testing a team's character....Mobley says he'll play the 5. Gonna be hell for him, but he knows he's gotta do it. This team has suffered 3 years worth of adversity in one season. I'm content to let them play their guts out and let the chips fall.
MUCH more urgency for LeVert to get back out there. Rondo...I don't worry about. Both times he had to play extended minutes, he's come up lame (hammy and toe). Goodwin has to be next man up. My main concern is Darius. More grimaces than smiles out there. He's gotta be hurting.
Let Mobley flash high, and use Lauri and Okoro as back cutters. Mobley's a good passer. Maybe he can beat 5's off the dribble. If they lay off him, let him fire away. Every game is a learning experience. In a year's time, these guys will KNOW what big games are about.
As for a backup 5...Try to find an enforcer. A punishing physical brute. Let him use his 6 fouls. We could use guys like the Spurs paired with Duncan.
