Now that we've seen this team for awhile what do you think should be rotation leading to the playoffs? Minutes distribution and everything. This is what I thinkC Dampier 28 minutes/Diop 20 minutesPF Nowitzki 36 minutes/George 12 minutesSF Howard 36 minutes/12 GeorgeSG Terry 36 minutes/Stackhouse 12 minutesPG Harris 32 minutes/A. Johnson 16 minutes.

Johnson 16 minutes.</div> :HAHAHA: :HAHAHA: HaHa, I love how much you hate Stackhouse. Giving him less minutes than George is just plain absurd in my opinion. I'd have to say it should be more like this.C-Dampier 26 MIN/ Diop 18 MIN/ Mbenga 4 MINPF-Nowitzki-34 MIN/ Croshere 10 MIN/ George 4 MINSF-Howard 34 MIN/ Stackhouse 6 MIN / George 8 MINSG- Terry 30 MIN/ Stackhouse 14 MIN/ Buckner-4 MIN PG- Harris 30 MIN/ Johnson 18 MinNow I add in a little on Buckner and Mbenga since they will get some burn in situations and different games. I wouldn't play Dirk, Howard, or Terry more than I needed to. This will be benifical at the end of the season and the entire playoffs.
Croshere sucks so George gets that position as well. George is closer to a SF than Stackhouse is and Stackhouse has to share the guard positions with 3 other guards. George has impressed me so far. I like his defense, rebounding, and he can hit the 3.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Croshere sucks so George gets that position as well.</div> He doesn't suck, it's just that George has played better and brings more of an athletic look downlow. When Croshere has got time, he's contributed and did a fine job. He's just third string right now, but will come in handy as George ain't your everyday iron man. As for Stackhouse's minutes, no comment because that's your opinion and not reality. You know full well Stack will get time. The fact he started at the 3 when Howard is out, means Avery will play him there to expand his minutes. I don't expect them to be a lot, I expect at least 20+ and more then George at least. Also, as centers goes, I expect Benga to get time as the season dwells on. We know our centers can get into foul trouble and this is where Benga will see time. I mean didn't he play more then Diop against the Wiz? Avery will mix it up with our depth most of the year.
Alright Croshere doesn't suck but he is kinda one dimensional with being a shooter. George brings more to the table with his athleticism. Yeah I guess you can give Stackhouse the majority of the minutes at the 3 but in a playoff situation I don't think Avery will go more than 9 deep or not often so Croshere might not make it. The same goes for Buckner unless he really impresses from here on out.

Zone breaker, Croshere might see time.
