But is it ever a good idea to switch your starting lineup just based on your opponent? Avery Johnson was slaughtered for doing that against the Warriors last year in the playoffs, with plenty of observers pointing to that as an indication of why they lost that series. Adjustments are always necessary to some extent, but when does it cross over into "letting the opponent dictate to you instead of imposing your will on them" territory?
