Word?
One would think an NBA head coach would figure that out eh?
Dwight Howard has taken 10 other dudes, and won 55 per.
Nash has taken great teams, and then also 10 other dudes, and won 50 per.
Kobe and Pau can win 55 per with 10 other dudes.
Now we have UNITED these dudes, I don't give a flying **** about the other 8 nobodiess, as long as like 3 of them can help out at all, that's enough. Ron, Jamison, and the combo of either Hill or Blake should be enough. Whatever we get out of Ebanks + Meeks is gravy. Morris and Sacre are tactical. Fouls, rest, garbage time, learning situations, whatever, you can buy them minutes here and there.
This rotation should have been set in September. Minutes, assignments, backup plans, all should have been worked out over a month ago. MB ****** around with "oh, well, ya know, I don't really know what my rotation is gonna look like just yet, I gotta, I gotta, ya know, see what it looks like, and uh...." *gun goes off*
I saw somethin the other day that bothered me. We're down late vs Dallas, semi close. Need some 3's. Our lineup, Dwight, Pau, Ron, Kobe, Nash.
We need, some 3's coach. Coach, we need 3's. 3 pointers Mike, 3's. Why are Dwight, Pau, AND Ron in the game? Should that not maybe, be Pau, Jamison, Kobe, Meeks, and Nash? Ya know, to attempt some 3's?
I wonder, and I assume it will never ever ever ever happen, but Mike tried something last year, didn't work at the time. However, we have a different roster now. Ron came off the bench, and that was with a worse core. Now we have Dwight and Nash. Why not look at Ron off the bench, with Jamison and Hill, and either go with Ebanks or Meeks in stretches? Meeks maybe late in games, slide Kobe to the 3, and Meeks spaces the floor better with Kobe and Nash. Or, if you're ahead and want less space, more defense/legs whatever, you can use Ebanks at the 3, and he has FOUR hall of famers to take care of him on offense, he just needs ot hustle on D is all.
This keeps that dribbling clinic settled down, as well as a lesser shooter. Ron can help give the bench a tougher/veteran type feel, battle down low with Jamison and Hill if Brown does that, maybe leave the guards in for that lineup, or stagger the bigs.
Dwight, Jamison, Ron, Kobe, Blake -- Pau, Hill, Ron, Meeks, Nash. Ebanks plays the swing role with the starters and can sub in/out at the 2/3 based on the rest of the groupings.
Can switch them as well
Dwight, Jamison, Ron, Meeks, Nash -- Pau, Hill, Ron, Kobe, Blake.
No matter what, you're lineup is balanced enough to keep things going when the bench is in. Jamison CAN score, but isn't forced with Dwight/Nash or Kobe with him. Meeks can get shots off Nash penetration.
Hill doesn't have to shoot 18 footers with Pau and Kobe on the court, and Blake can occasionally give us spacing, not to mention, that 5 can move between the Princeton, AND the Triangle as they did last night. Ya'll heard Kobe call Horns, which is Triangle. Twitter dudes were all over that last night.
I'm dumb. And those lineups make 50 billion times more sense than whatever the **** Brown is doing. Dwight + 4 bench players, with Hill shooting J's, Jamison out of position, and nobody that can create a shot for themselves when things get bogged down?
Pau + the same 4 bench guys, with the same problems?
I'm so irritated right now that we have to go thru this. First grade coaching knows how to work a rotation, why doesn't my ******g coach?
