Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted September 11, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Starters: 1. Trae, Murray, Hunter, Collins Capela. Who will be the 6th man? As in who gets off the bench first? Bogi or OO Alternate Lineups: 2. Trae, Bogi, Hunter, Collins, Capela or Trae, Murray, Hunter, Collins, OO 3. Trae, Bogi, Hunter, JJ, Capela or Murray, Bogi, Hunter, JJ, Capela Will we see Nate's all bench lineup? 4. AHol, Bogi, JHol, JJ, OO? (Yes , yes - one of Trae or Murray should always be on the floor) Or a slight variation of 5. Ahol, Bogi JHol, Collins, OO I think we have a solid experienced 8 of Trae, Murray, Hunter, Collins, Cap, Bogi, OO, JHol. AHol and JJ to that mix gives us a 10 man rotation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted September 12, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Usually it's a guard who comes in first for Nate but i'm going with OO getting Clint. Man that lineup of Trae/DJM/Hunter/JC/OO is super athletic. I think we'll see JHoliday coming in sometimes for JC and Hunter sliding to the 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Who is first off the pine? Depends on who needs a break. Our 2 point guards will need to be separated so that one will be available all the time. Murray out for Bogie works. Then we can do Murray in and Trae out over and over, playing them together part of this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHol and JJ to that mix gives us a 10 man rotation. I think those are the primary 8 players, but as stated previously I think Kaminsky will be our 4th big off the bench to start the season. It will likely be an injury that changes the rotation, unless one of JJ or AJ emerges to earn significant PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member MarylandHawk Posted September 12, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I like having the 10 man, maybe even 11 man rotation, early in the season. If we can get JHol, JJ, AJG meaningful minutes early on, in think it will help us down the stretch. I would bring Frank the tank along slowly because is coming off an injured season and he is a savvy vet so it shouldn’t take him long to get up to speed late in the season.

Premium Member Diesel Posted September 12, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Not trying to detour the topic but it is on topic.. How much of DM playing PG do we expect to see? Will he be staggered as the BU PG or will we see him on the court with Holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Here are some notes from the Houston teams with CP3 and Harden that led the league in net rating: While Harden was on the court, with and without Paul, the Houston offense thrived. But what is fascinating to me about these numbers is that the 1168 minutes where Chris Paul played and James Harden sat. Keep in mind that these are for games in which both players played, so here Paul is leading bench heavy units at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters and beginning of the 2nd and 4th, while Harden takes a breather. In those Paul only minutes, the Rockets’ defense was really good, posting a 103.2 defensive rating! And the 115.7 offensive rating shows that Houston was able to keep its offense afloat with Paul and without Harden. Utilizing this stagger, the Rockets played only 171 minutes over the two seasons without both Harden and Paul, for those games in which both played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted October 1, 2022 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 My biggest concern with the lineups is going to need Nate's insistence on playing an all bench lineup. Let's assume he does - how many minutes as a unit do you think they get? I'll be watching closely in the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Pre-season (Like, right now) Is when all the "Who plays with who?" is decided because the team has a lot of practice time. Once the season begins, Poof, it's gone. Sure, things change as the season goes along. But so many things are decided right now, or so it seems. It is not set in stone.

gurpilo Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I would say we have good starters (5) Young, Murray, Hunter, Collins, Capela. 2 good bench players: Bogi and OO 3 below average bench players: Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday and Kaminsky After that the gap is really big with some question marks as Jalen Johnson and Griffin, that hopefully works and a bunch of players that probably would not be on any roster on the NBA, not sure about Tyrese Martin. I see lack of defense, size and strength on the 2nd unit unless AJ Griffin and Johnson really show they are good players, presumably they have the potential for that but I doubt Nate will give them minutes so the chances we are outscored on the 2nd units often are high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted October 1, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Not a popular thing to say, but we don't actually have exceptional proof just yet that 2021-22 Murray is what we should expect. He has years of underperformance and only one season of high performance, which was the caution flag in making the deal Schlields did. Glass half-empty, he regresses to the mean, and BogBog returns to the starting line-up. Otoh, I think Aaron's a little more valuable... a little... than he seems to have gotten credit. That's more a criticism of how he's been regarded than it is a compliment to how good he is. He's a decent player in reality. He actually has shot from the arc better than his brother. The ding on him is that he's PG sized, but more of a SG in terms of skill set... but you can do a lot worse at PG, still. Aside: @gurpilo I see that your username means "the wheel"... in Basque... is there a story there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurpilo Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Thinking twice with 7 good players probably we can keep 4 at the same time on the floor, I think that is the way to go but I see problems to cover efficiently the forward position, JJ or Griffin need to step up, that would be what we need on the roster.
