My favorite is when there's a controversial play and instead of showing us that play, they show us a highlight from a few minutes ago.

Great job guys! That's what I wanted to see right in that moment!

Data for the rigid lineups crowd:

Was saw this on display last night in Suns vs Jazz.

Both teams ran the same rotations they have for the last 40 some games, dispite the Suns having real issues handling the Gobert vs Saric at center lineups.

I'm not staying it's the right thing to do, but mixing and matching lineups based on matchups is not something you see much in the regular season.

Bud (who was known as one of the most inflexible coaches in the league prior to this year) did tie Holidays minutes with Dame's for most the game. Another example of him evolving as a coach this year.

Interested if the approach he's taken helps the Bucks in the playoffs.

Certaintly shouldn't hurt.

I want to be clear, I just provided the data and am not in anyway defending or prosecuting the rigidity or lack there of. I wanted to provide league wide context for those who may only watch Blazer games.

Good post on your part though!

If i read that right it seems that all the best teams pretty much stay with their lineups and they grow into solid units with their best players playing the most.

Oh yeah

137 pages and still going.

If that's the case then our coach sucks and needs to be fired.

That'll never change because that is what needs to be done if this team wants to go anywhere. Same with the GM. He's hurt this team with his awful moves. Get him out too.

I think there's a lot of assumptions you could come to.

1) Better/more successful teams at the start of the season are less likely to tinker with the lineup and therefore have less lineup changes
2) Better/more successful teams often have less injury issues and therefore see less lineup changes.
3) Changing your lineup less often makes you more successful (changing the cause/effect)

I'm sure there are more you could put out there. They may all be false, I don't know.

It doesn't appear rigidity in lineups is a negative. Maybe Stotts is changing the lineups too often and should be critized for that?

Stotts should be criticized. He's an awful "coach".

People are entitled to criticize him for whatever they want. Rigid rotations leading to our failures would probably be an inaccurate assessment, but that doesn't mean it can't be made.

It is accurate though. He's an average coach. Well, his record says he's average in the regular season and a fucking God awful coach in the playoffs.

So he's just a shitty coach. And that's an accurate assessment.

For you, playoff winning percentage is how you ranking the quality of a coach?

Like if you were the GM, that would be the top 1-2 things you look for in picking out a coach?

They were actually starting to question Stotts on the Blazer homer station, 620 a.m. Dan Marang has always been pretty reality oriented which is why I like him, but even long time Stotts defender Chad Doing is starting to question the Ter-Bear.

Bunch of bad GMs, hiring a bunch of bad coaches. Sounds like you think the root problem is poor ownership and would like the team sold?

Actually yes. I'd like to see an ownership group that's invested in the team.

My worry is that Paul Allen was more invested than most owners and that the next owner we have will be more concerned about the ledger.
