5 is the full starting lineup. 0 is a lineup of all bench guys.

The Wolves had all 5 starters on the floor over 45% of the time last season. Blazers had all the starters on 8th most often of all NBA teams, and almost never had zero starters on the floor. However, it appears that they went with 1 starter and 4 bench guys a lot more often than most teams did.

Thanks,

Thats probably due to CJ playing alot of minutes with the second unit.

The previous season to your chart I think Vonleh would have played the fewest starter minutes in the league...

I think Cleveland coaches get a bad rap.

You might be right. It’s hard to tell at least for me. Dame covers up a lot of “bad” in Portland at times. Lebron is on a tier of his own though, he’s so good and has kind of become a coach on the court too. I think we will know more this year, Not sure they have the talent to be very good though.

Cleveland could easily be a playoff team this year in the east.

For arguements sake I am not quite sure if they make it, I could see them sneaking in if health and things go there way. Boston, Philly, Toronto, Washington, Miami and Milwaukee are the teams I think are pretty close to playoff locks in my opinion. I guess Cleveland could be in the mix for the 7 or 8 seed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re playing for ping pong balls either.

The thing is that Cleveland owes their 2019 1st round pick if it isn't in the top 10 so Cleveland trying to sneak into the playoffs or just missing is kind of a stupid strategy in my opinion.

Indiana are a lock too. They got an outside shot at winning the entire conference too, they were already very good last season and got better.

Miami aren’t that good. They have one of the best coaches in the league but the team itself is average at best.

I think it’s Boston and Toronto fighting for the first seed, then Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Indiana in the following three spots and three of Washington, Miami, Charlotte, Cleveland and Detroit behind them.

Out of all remaining teams - Brooklyn, Chicago, Knicks, Orlando and Atlanta - I think only Bulls actually have any sort of a chance of making it near the playoffs.

So as you see, East has five teams who probably don’t even stand a chance, a couple who aren’t very good and would normally have zero chance if the conference wasn’t so weak and just a handful of semi decent rosters.

Indiana!!! Thank you I thought I was missing one. Miami has some talent, Dragic, JJ, and Whiteside. Spo’s a good coach too
