If you can get away with just shoving the defender away and forcing a switch, you can get literally any mismatch you want.

The problem is that the best person to run switches til he has a mismatch is Bron, but if I'm defending Bron, I'm just going under the screen, not switching, and daring him to shoot. That's a no-brainer as a defender.

So yeah, maybe run more of those for Kyrie. Get Love to set a moving screen, get a big man on Ky and a littler man on Love, and force GSW to scramble to adjust. In the scrambling, hope to find a shooter or some space to operate.

(Not that any of what we're saying *isn't* Lue's plan, lol. Of course this is his plan. They just need to get it clicking.)
