What would happen if we started our best defensive lineup?

I know about that but Martin is very depended free throw player. Sometimes it doesn't work well

 

He also puts the other teams players in foul trouble early on. I think he's an amazing player and if he was our #2 option we would be insane. He's the player that gets under the other teams skin and also he is lights out when he gets open looks.

 

He is not amazing he is very amazing player but sometimes he isn't a good second or first option at offence

 

Clutchfans, where everyone knows how to be the best nba head coach.

but to be serious, i like the idea of playing all our best 2 way players. but to balance the offense scola and kmart have to stay in...

so maybe:

lowry
martin
williams
scola
hill

have hill and scola been complimenting each other at all?

 

This is a joke right? haha Hill has been doing terrible with Scola, and this is our current lineup anyways.

 

well thats why i asked, but hill is probably our best option around the rim regardless, and last i checked williams doesnt play

 

Oh ha sorry I looked over Williams I thought it said Battier. Hill is just too young, he would be a sick backup C but he just doesn't have it together yet to start. He's been doing terrible when paired up with Scola for some reason.

 

i think hill does well with miller because miller is a passer. scola and hill are both post up players. how many teams do we see with 2 very good post up players working together? bynum/gasol is the only one i can think of. but most post up 5's have a complimenting 4 that passes or at least stretches the floor.

 

haha we just have it backwards

 

I don't think we really have ANY legitimate 2 way players on this roster, and that is part of the team's problem. Lowry and Lee come closest but they're both still fairly limited offensively. And, of course, Yao. Everyone else skews to one side of the court or the other.

I haven't seen enough of Patterson and Williams to say, but hopefully, they will break the current trend.

 

In a pro disguise.

 

defense is related to offence.

 

I'm not sure if (or how many times) this has been mentioned but I would love to see Hayes and Patterson on the court at the same time.

 

What about our best offensive lineup?

Brooks
Martin
Budinger
Scola
Miller

 

In my list, all those guys are up for trade. Those guys wouldnt be able to defend in WNBA either.

We need to build around these guys below. They should be the complimentary players supporting our future satrs(when Morey gets them).

Lowry/Smith
Lee
T-Will/Battier
Patterson/Hayes

Im not saying they start. I am saying we trade the guys you mentioned in your offensive list for players who have all round games.

 

We would... drum roll please!!

Spoiler

LOSE!

You might as well be in "tank mode" with that starting 5

 

I just want to see some hard fouls. If our opponents want to go into the paint for layups, fine, but we need to let them know that a price will be paid. We have enough depth, if someone fouls out or gets ejected, we just put someone else in. We need to become that team of crazy dudes that no team wants to play.

 

what the hell is wrong with battier?? anyone??

 

Hmmmmm, I wonder what the per quarter scoring would look like.

 

Best defensive team.

Hayes/JJ
PPat
Battier
TWill
Lee
