Playoff Rotation

[ceperez]

I just don't see Anderson being in the playoff rotation. Anderson isn't going to make or break the Spurs season if he brings anything to the table is "trade value".

My point of thread is concern over the main guys in rotation not Anderson or Simmons fighting for DNPs

If you trade away Anderson today, who will be the make passes for the Spurs after Parker and Diaw are gone?

Also, you are probably wrong on Simmons. Like I stated I don't see Manu playing 24 minutes. I am going to be bold even. If we NEED 24 minutes from Manu we will loose. I am that confident.

Simmons' defense will probably be needed if Patty is not hot from 3. Patty's PnR defense, and defense on other guards is the worst and if he's not hitting shots its a negative.

Anderson is more of a luxury at this point, and yet, against perimeter lineups he's done a better job than our other bigs quite frankly.

I don't see these two as DNP. They have outplayed guys in the rotation in recent games.

Thats the least of my worries.

Only disagree with you that I see Anderson and Kmart minutes reversed, but Kmart being a floater possibly subbing for different guys will still get his time. Also, I think this season Pop is not above riding the player who is having a great game and shortening up the minutes to someone who is sinking us. Anderson being a young player has the potential to be this inconsistent, therefor possibly having a terrific game, followed by a more muted game, where Pop decides to go with someone else. The old vets will be inconsistent too.

The committee will be different guys on different night. Pop not above cutting minutes to a vet who is not match up proof like TD or who is stinking it up (hopefully not the case for anyone, but our roleplayers have been very inconsistent).

^I think Miller could see more time than both Anderson and Martin. And he should.. especially nights where Pop likes to play with 2 pgs.

All sort of speculation cause it'll all depend on matchups

Pop's move against the Warriors was practical, but it also sent a message. It's pretty hard to argue about your minutes in a tough matchup when one of the 10 greatest players in history accepted what the coach deemed best for the team and didn't sulk about his minutes.

I really really like him. And if for whatever reason Manu needs to sit, I prefer him. He's also a strong guy, ideal for Pop's switching and not helping defense. Has good instincts for the game and is a tough as nails veteran. Great rebounding and boxing out for a PG too bc he's tough.
