Why won't RC try to get his best 1-3 defender on the court? Brunson and Burke +/- just horrible, they get destroyed on Defense pretty frequently. They should not be playing together. Green should be playing with 1 of them at all times in second unit.

100% agree with the Burke/Brunson pairing and I've been calling for J.Green to get more minutes next to one of them all year.
A perfect lineup off that bench would have Brunson and Burke rotating based on which player is more efficient and consistent that game or week.
Brunson/Burke
THJ
Green
Johnson
WCS
But RC is going to roll out those two with THJ on a nightly basis knowing damn well those 3 guys together are going to each hunt for shots and then play terrible defense.
You can't play those 3 guys all together and expect to get stops defensively that's why Green helps to balance that 2nd unit and gives you another rebounder to help out off the bench.
