Monty McCutchen once again changing things up. There was always going to be a lot of changes based on the injuries from this year but 4 first timers are jumping to the second round in their first ever playoffs. I can gurarntee you that would not have happened under previous management.
Forte and Lindsay worked 3 first round games whereas Wall and Maddox only worked 1. In years previous Forte and Lindsay would have for sure worked the second round after working 3 first round games and Wall and Maddox would not have had a prayer at the second round in the past. But I would guess Forte and Lindsay had some struggles in their games whereas Wall and Maddox performed very well in their 1 game and might have done a good job in the replay room as well.
With the way he has made assignments in the first 2 rounds this is the first time in awhile I actually think we could get some changes in the NBA Finals.

Interesting that there are no assigned alternates on the staff

My guess is that it's just an omission in the press release. We'll be able to pick up the alternates when they're assigned.
Also shout-out to russ - 20-for-20 on the predictions!

Brown's first time at this level as well. Rodney Mott returns to the Conference Finals having previously worked them in 2012 and 2013. Kevin Scott reaches the Conference Finals in just his second season working the Playoffs. Very impressive!
