How would you tinker with rotation?

This thread should be renamed, "How would you fk up a good thing?"

 

exactly, or how to play 82 games without 3rd string bench players

 

CJ is not there yet...I watched him tonight. No way he's better than Barton on both sides of the court. He's not better than Earl Watson running the point. Victor Claver is one of the best defenders on the team...he started the season in a bad shooting slump but I think he's more valuable for his defense than Wright is for his offense

 

Zaza Pachulia

 

Claver has played a whopping 4 minutes this season... shooting slump?

Have every player average 240/15 = 16 mpg.

 

I'd adjust very little. I think part of this teams chemistry is all the players have defined roles which stay the same each game.

I'd give CJ some 5 min stretches when he comes back. If he plays well sit the starters a couple minutes and maybe a few of Wrights minutes.

Any adjustment should be very small with the way this team is playing.

 

You do know that taking starters minutes away for a guy who hasn't even played a game in the NBA could cause some chemistry imploding.

 

You don't understand. I'd have Dam, Wes, Nic each play maybe 3 less minutes so they are fresher in the rest of the game. That could help get CJ to 15+min off the bench. Maybe 20 if he outplays Wright. The starters would be fine with it. They will welcome a bit more rest as the season goes on.

 

It's not like CJ is some new guy. They've seen him play in training camp. They know the kid is good. He's been a part of the team since last summer. I don't think he's going to impact the chemistry like some seem to feel.
