Celtics or GS 12th man is as good as our 6th man? We need 9-man rotation deep in the playoffs.

No. Just no.

 

GS has no bench, and has had no bench

 

So Jerebko = Luc or EG?

Hmmm... I believe I've found a flaw in your statistical analysis.

 

This is why I could not believe some were just willfully downplaying the Ariza loss. Our rotation simply isn't deep enough.

 

Sure. Get a bench. Dan Tony will ignore it.

 

Wait, what?

Umm, no.

-1, never reading again.

 

They have a 9-man rotation that will shrink to 6/7 when/if they play Golden State.

Bench necessity is overrated
-D'Antoni

 

Ariza's getting old anyway a healthy Luc is way better. I didnt want him to leave but now its for the best, after starting for so long Arizs's not gonna come off the bench (as we have seen with Tony Parker in Sas).

 

Bench is...er, was fine. Teams always shorten rotations in the playoffs. Our problems were the injuries to Paul and LMM, the fact that Nene was a terrible matchup against our opponents, and Anderson's massie funk. Paul and LMM would have given us a solid seven, and we could have sprinkled in Green, Nene, and Anderson based upon who we played.

Losing Ariza really challenges that depth, though.

 

why don't you send D'antoni a written mail about it

 

Obviously not, but Jerebko is a quality player. I'm not sure we will have a quality player that deep.

 

Warriors....................................................Boston........................................Houston
Curry................................................................Kyrie..............................................CP3
Klay T..............................................................Smart(guessing re-sign)................Harden
Durant..............................................................Hayward.......................................Tucker
Draymond........................................................Horford..........................................Melo (I’m guessing his best option)
Bell (until Boogie ready)...................................Baynes.........................................Capela (I’m guessing re-sign)

6)Cousins.........................................................6)M Morris...................................6)EGo
7)Iggy...............................................................7)Tatum........................................7)Luc MaM (I’m guessing re-sign)
8)Livingston......................................................8)Jaylen Brown............................8)G Green
9)Jerebko (guessing McCaw bye-bye)............9)Rozier........................................9)Hartenstein **
10)Looney........................................................10)Ojeleye..................................10)Nene
11)Cook...........................................................11)Yabusele................................11)MCW *&*
12)Jacob Evans (R)..........................................12) Robert Williams (R)..............12)Ryan Anderson

** Hartenstein looks good enough to get 10 to 15 minutes here & there, much like Jordan Bell did with GSW last season.

*&* MCW- Morey has a plan for him, but I remember Jeff Adrein and Ish Smith getting cut at the end of a pre season.
Could 1 of Melton/Duval/James Ennis/D House/Trevon Graham/Nunnally/V Edwards get guaranteed
money & slot in place of MCW?


All three teams will be top notch. Right now the Rockets are not a finished product. Bell/Looney/Cook should be
improved and I have a feeling Houston was interested in Jacob Evans (6’6” 2-way playing wing).

As per above rosters........I like Houston over GSW’s & Celtics. Marathon season could change things.....
might make things easier as well.

Side note: numbers are not meant to indicate order of importance

 

Warriors are 8 players deep, then it gets dicey.

Celts are 9 players deep, then it gets dicey.

Rox are 7.5 players deep (the half is for Gerald's offense), but if we get anything of value out of Ryno/MCW (not likely, but not impossible), we're right up there.

Besides, Morey's great at adding depth. I'm just worried that the Clint/Luc stuff will get dragged out so long that the pickings with get slim.

 

9-15 don't matter - cause MDA aint playin em anyway... you saw last year - GG went from his couch to the rotation bc there were 5 or more guys MDA simply would not play...
MDA's playin 8 guys, if somebody gets injured - then he's playin 7... lol

 

not true at all. rotation went 9 deep atleast in both the minny and utah series.

What shouldnt be a surprise by now is GS makes many guys unplayable. so obviously the rotation was different.

 

Rotation gets even smaller without Luc. Terrible offseason.
