Maximizing Playoff Success

NewYorker, what do those minutes figures represent? What exactly is the "44:12:00" after Kobe, for example. That can't be hours and minutes -- nobody plays 44 hours worth of playoff games.

 

Yeah, I finally figured it out. I thought it was the total minutes, but it's the average minutes per game.

 

I think that with the players he have if we are 100%, fully loaded and our players are doing what they're suppose to do we are more than capable of winning the Championship!! which means knockin down mavs, phx, spurs!

 

Looking at the teams from that year's playoffs, you'll see that with the exception of Dallas and SA (suprising), most of the teams in the second round (I want teams with atleast 10 playoff games) do not employ a 10-11 men rotation as you claimed but rather an 8 men rotation (with Cleveland going 9 deep, though Damon Jones numbers might be slightly inflated due to Larry Hughe's injury).

This was your justification for advocating a 11 men deep playoff team in response to durvasa.

This was the initial statement that I was responding to. If you want to change the debate then I'm fine with it. I don't think our roster calls for us to go 11 deep playoffs. I think there are teams where that's feasible, but that's not us. I think an eight men rotation is suffecient in the playoffs and more adequately suits this team.
