SNIP "That said, he could have a decent career as a 10-15 minute a night
change of pace energy type guy. bring him in and have him knock people
around for awhile." - RMN
I must have a different definition of energy guy. I don't see him as
high energy at all. And that is not a negative statement BTW, quite the
opposite. I see him as just what you said in the second part of your
sentence - he's a strength & position guy. He doesn't get rebounds
because of quickness and speed - he gets them because of position and
strength. He hustles - yes, but that isn't what makes him productive as
much as his physical gifts of strength and awareness combined with a
little hustle.
SNIP "11-2 works for me, but playing RA, PP, KG, and RR 44+ minutes as
they did last night (and yes i know it was OT), is only going to open us
up for injuries down the road." - rmn
As many have said this morning there's no reason - even with TA out -
that we can't rotate the personnel better.
There's one simple change - stop going ^%$#@ small! Instead of playing
Scal at the 4 and 5 play him at the 3 and Posey at the 2 with Garnett
and either Davis (if we HAVE to go small) or Powe at the 4 OR (my
preference - smaller rotation) Perk/Pollard at the 5. Add in House at
the PG if you need the "O". That allows rest to Pierce and Allen and
furthermore you can then interchange Posey with both those players as
well. When Garnett needs the rest again - Powe/Davis at the 4 and
Perk/Pollard at the 5 surrounded by two carry the offense guys in
Pierce, Allen and it doesn't matter between Rondo and House.
It isn't rocket science...well, I guess for Doc it is.
