    I remember the number of different starting 5s for the Spurs was incredibly high this year. Of course a lot of it had to do with injuries, but also Pop fooling around with rotations, trying different match-ups and so on.

    I'm mostly asking because of these incredible stats for the Blazers, especially the part about running starters, however young they are, into the ground:



    Clearly with a very short rotation the Blazers had only one plan and they had to follow it win or lose. Not much room for adaptation. Actually the only possible adjustment was to put Lillard then Matthews then Batum on Parker. There's really nothing else Stotts could do, mostly because he hadn't planned for it at all.

    It's particularly telling that after Parker went to the locker room the Spurs continued without missing a beat. there have been so many rotations this year, it looks like the players are comfortable playing with whoever is on the court at that particular point of time. Everybody knows defensive assignments, rotations, offensive plays and so on...
