    I can't believe (but then again I guess I can) that so many people are crucifying MDA for the short playoff rotation. Guys we cannot play Ryan Anderson, Iso Joe, and Nene for long stretches against this team! With the switch heavy defense, those guys would be toast. We already saw what Curry did to Iso Joe. It doesn't help that Luc has turned into the second coming of Andre Roberson with the 2nd separated shoulder.

    Whether CP3 plays or not tomorrow, we are going to have to do the best we can with a 7 or 8 (if CP3 plays) man rotation. If MDA had been playing guys like Anderson, Johnson, etc., on a regular basis, we wouldn't even be in a Game 7 - so chew on that the next time you want to whine and complain about his shortened playoff rotation.

    Anderson wasn’t a huge liability playing against GSW these past two season. Just need one more body to battle fatigue

    Key to victory tomorrow = 5 man rotation.

    6.5 man rotations are ridiculous

    4 would work better. More space for Harden to drive :)
