Blake, then Leonard, now Aldridge.

If this were Mono I would be worried at just how close these guys are.

 

[Strenuus]

I told them not to literally kiss and tell!

 

[BlazerBeav]

I realize Brooklyn is meh, but without Batum AND LA, the game is a little more difficult.

 

[magnifier661]

Damn we are gonna lose

 

[Strenuus]

Damn we are gonna lose

Try harder.

Season over.

If you're gonna Kingspeed a thread, go big or go do an nba player.

 

[santeesioux]

Damn we are gonna lose

Robin will dominate and we'll win!

 

[HailBlazers]

Leonard, FOR THREE!

 

[magnifier661]

Who's gonna start?

 

[Strenuus]

Who's gonna start?

Kaman or Freeland would be my guess. maybe trob?

 

[Further]

I believe this is real, but I do think stotts should employ the pop tactic of sitting our starters more often this year so they aren't spent in the playoffs. Also gets bench the time needed to be fully ready to step up when called upon later.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

IIRC, Wright played his best ball last year when he started in Aldridge's absence. Just a thought...

 

[blue32]

I just got over something like this. Some minor respiratory bullshit, lots of congestion, burning lungs when you work out (if you can), and feel run down for about 4-5 days, then day 6-7 you're fine.

 

[Blazinaway]

is Nic out tomorrow?

 

[Schilly]

Meyers

 

[DaLincolnJones]

yeah, I like the idea of Kaman starting and going off for 25 and 12

I do too but I don't like not having a bench

 

[Strenuus]

kaman wanted some minutes, now he can have 48.

 

[Blazer4ever]

TRob, Freeland, Kaman should obviously get more minutes but I also think Meyers, Wright and Claver are ideally Power forwards (Wright a stretch 4).

You can only stretch a 4 when you can hit an outside shot. Wright hasn't been able to hit an outside shot, therefor he can't stretch shit

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be power forward

Who's gonna start?

If the Batum-Crabbe experience is an indication it should be Meyers.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Not saying he's our best option at PF, just that it's his best position.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I think he is our best option to start in Aldridge's place. Two highly inexperienced players in the starting lineup is a bad idea, and we need Kaman to be our sixth man and anchor reserve. Wright is the best choice.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Meyers or truck. Same deal with crabbe...give a defined role to a guy and get out of the way. Have the rotations stay the same (maybe shorter leash on crabbe /Leonar_) instead of the domino of moving kaman up

 

[Mediocre Man]

The title had me thinking this was a thread about sucking

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Also remember that Garnett is still starting at the 4 for Brooklyn. He's just a shell of his former self, but don't think that he wouldn't be able to absolutely take advantage of Robinson or Leonard's inexperience.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I thought Aldridge had just come out as white.

That's how I was thinking about it. Actually might be a good way to give TRob an opportunity. The thing is it would disrupt our normal offense of PF mid range jumpers. I keep thinking Claver can make that shot but he hasn't shown it in games.

Who do we have who can fill the LaMarcus role? Meyers and Kaman?

 

[Blazer4ever]

You're right that our offense is built around LaMarcus but trying to give someone else this role wouldn't work. Only LA gets these double teams that we're dependent on.
