    Here’s my allotment of minutes. Better than what we will run with:

    Nurk 24
    Hassan 24
    Collins 32
    Gabriel 16
    Little 16
    Ant 14
    Dame 38
    CJ 38
    Trent 38

    Probably start Little to spread the youth & inexperience around a bit.

    I read through this thread.. your insistence on the "Gotcha" is just as tiresome than someone who talks X's and O's with confidence.

    So Nurk, clearly our second best player, is only getting 24 minutes?

    The only scenario this works in is if next season he hits a game winner against us that puts us in position to get the first pick in the draft, we actually take the right player and that player is a superstar

    Whiteside is our 3rd best. I don’t think it works at all well when they play together. My solution was more political than anything. Nurk’s only averaged 26-29 minutes anyway.

    As a coach of 30 years, this is complete rubbish. Portland has 3 talented defensive 7 footers in Nurk, Whiteside and Collins and 3 completely inept perimeter defenders in Dame, CJ and Melo. Why in the serious fuck would that be the game plan, and not funneling players into the strength of the defense? Stotts is a decent coach, he wouldn’t do what you’re claiming
