I don't know how many of you caught that Nate said he is considering changing the lineup and that is contrary to the other report, that he willl change it. This is exactly what happened last time. They talked about moving Rudy into the starting lineup, and then next thing you know, we get "Nate'd" and it didn't happen. It is going to happen again. He is going to tease us with a lineup change and then nothing is going to happen.
Nice to hear they really tried to establish an inside out game with Greg's 2 shot attempts within the offense. Like in the SA and first Minny game, run it down their fucking throats.
I think he is saying exactly that. The team definitly tensed up under trade rumors last year. I believe what Brandon wants is to get a bunch of guys who you know are going to be the group they are playing with, and let it jell. If they are going to make a trade, make it now so they can solidify the group and try to make the playoffs. The trade deadline is too late for any but the most stable teams to make a trade that will actually make a difference this year.
It could be both, but I initially read it as being more related to injuries and having some consistency in the rotation.
Tough to say. He could also be thinking ahead to when Rudy, Batum, & ?? come back. They obviously won't be in game shape and maybe Roy is thinking ahead to them being forced back into the line-up and what that will do to the chemistry.
There was a lot of talk about a line-up change...then Rudy got hurt and that threw a wrench in those plans... I don't blame Nate for that...
