"If you study [playoff] series, games aren't as fast, and rotations go from 10 to nine and from nine to eight. We don't plan to do that. We want to play fast and with the style and the pace that got us where we're at," Brown said. "If you shrink the rotation, you can gut the spirit of the team. Sometimes it does happen, in a Game 6 or a Game 7, but if you feel the need to do it too soon, you run the risk of gutting the team spirit. I like our spirit, and the energy that Justin and T.J. bring. We want to be 'us,' [but] better."
