Was this more about Jones being more 3/4 like Dante and Cheick being seen as more of a big, or is Jones ahead of Diallo?

Diallo plays hard, but he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. He has no clue what he's doing.

He's either looking for a way to score on offense, or block a shot on defense. There's nothing else to his game right now.

Played over Cooke. People will say you needed some size, but Cooke is long and who cares if he has to cover Tucker or Mbah a Moute? What are those guys gonna post him up or something? The Rockets aren't gonna take the ball out of CP3's hands to do that.

Cooke plays instead of Jones in that stretch, Pels win IMO. That stretch was the key stretch

I really like Cooke too. I don't know if he stops CP3 any better, but the only inside attack was the Harden/Capella P&R so you didn't really need the extra size from Jones anyway.

While doing some research on Pels advanced stats today, I stumbled upon Diallo having one go the worat defensive ratings in the league. For whatever that is worth
