Miller, Roy, Webster, Aldridge and Oden

That doesn't account for in-game units, though.

 

The interesting part of 82games data is that you can't even find a combination with Miller at the point and Roy at the SG, regardless of who is at the 3-5 positions. At least not in the top 10.

If Miller and Roy are in the game, then Brandon is the SF.

 

Doesn't the whole fact that it cannot even be listed in top 10 10 man units speak for it's playing time enough? Some of those units listed there are garbage time units and they have got more run thant the unit we spoke of. So that in itself is evidence of them not playing that unit, because it would have definitly been higher than any of the garbage units.

 

To be fair, ABM was responding to checking the starters in the box score, not looking on 82games.

 

I've been saying this for awhile now. Give this group a chance. It can't do any worse than falling behind by 20 points again with Blakey in there. Brandon will just have to suck it up and believe that Andre will get him the ball.

 

Nate has been very focused on trying to get Roy on track. Roy has expressed that he and Miller don't work the best together. Basically nate finds it more important to get Roy going than to put Miller in the starting line up.

Maybe with Roy's new take (take #5), this will allow Nate to try Miller without worrying if it si going to derail Roy getting back to where he was last year.

 

Yes it is true. There are no minutes logged with that lineup in game to my knowledge, and believe me, I have been watching for it.

 

You'd think at this point that Nate would be willing to try anything.

 

Which is BS. Roy is a big Boy he doesn't need coaches help to get going.

Starting Lineup: Your Best Players. DO IT DAMN IT

 

No, I said YOU'D think. Why do YOU think that?

 

that is shocking. come to think of it I do not remember that happening. That def should be our starting five and I do not think anyone in the world could argue against that. well you could argue against it, but you would be wrong

btw miller and roy have been playing more together and look just fine.

I mean playing together.......not the team in general.

 

...play/start your best 5, period [and by "try", Nate, we don't mean for a couple of minutes until you yank someone for your set rotation(s)]!!!

 

So now we're rebuilding after one playoff appearance? One year of 54 wins and a playoff series and . . . back to the lottery? Cool.

 

He's scared that the line-up will work so well, that he will be forced to bench Blake. That Possibly Roy will be unhappy. I don't know, maybe even some stupid reason like wanting Miller to be the controller of the second team, notice I didn't say unit?

The dude puts in a completely new group of players and sits all starters. I don't know if he even understands the concept of keeping one of the BIG THREE in the line-up the entire game.
