re: This was the plan all along Pels get easier matchup

Nurkic had 31 rebounds against OKC in 1 game this year. JV is completely comparable to Nurkic imo, a little slower but 100% in the same tier and far more skilled offensively. Chet CANNOT guard JV, I’m of the opinion JV should be getting 35-40 minutes per game in this series. Put the man on the block, put Trey and CJ on the wing and top of the key around him and let him put Chet under the goal with the nearly 100 pound advantage on him and the lower center of gravity. Only issue I could see is if OKC just lives with the mismatch knowing 3s are worth more than 2s. I’m realizing now it’s kind of sad I had to post this considering JV is clearly our best option at 5 but he played 11 minutes last time we played OKC so who knows what Willie will do
