Over Loaded?

PG- TP-35 min, Mills 10-15
SG- Manu-25 min, Green 20
SF- Leanard- 25 min, Jackson 25

Neal? Anderson?

Anderson wont get minutes in the playoffs or at the very least play limited minutes to bring some energy

It comes to Green/Neal imo, as we've seen Green is a very streaky shooter and when our offense become stagnant pop can play neal to help in that area

If Green plays well in the playoffs and Mills turns out to handle the backup pg role significantly better than neal, Neal would probably see his minutes down

[rmt]

Pop failed his chemistry tests in '09 and '10. In '09 he couldn't figure out a rotation for most of the season. In '10 he couldn't figure out how to integrate Splitter. It's like it takes him a season to figure stuff out. It's something to be a little worried about.

IMO, Pop still hasn't figured out the big man rotation. Splitter averaging only 20 mins a game all season even when he's (at one point) shooting an obscene FG%.

[Darkwaters]

I don't think Green is going anywhere. He's already gained experience playing "crunch time" minutes, hit some key shots and most of all, Pop loves him. His minutes may decrease, but I fully expect him to remain part of the rotation, going forward.

I would agree. At this point I think Neal is a much more likely target to fall out of the rotation.

Another option would be that we play a 9-10 man playoff rotation. It's happened before, but not often, and not by the Spurs (if my memory serves). Still, we're deep enough that it might make sense. And waves of fresh troops against fatigued opponents might just work.

Anderson doesn't hardly get minutes in the regular season unless multiple wings are injured or it's garbage time. In the playoffs, when the rotation tightens, does anybody have any dillusions that he'll even be active, let alone playing?

It'll take some injuries for that to happen.

With the addition of Diaw, It also means alot less small ball too. Woudnt that be a fair accessment? Like someone stated, Anderson will be benched and is only seeing time due to injuries, but with less small ball and more wings, time will be cut for alot of the up and comign players.

Well, in theory Diaw is a small ball PF.

?? Diaw is a legit PF. He happens to be very skilled and can handle the ball and shoot, but that doesn't make him a "small ball PF".

[HazeGray]

could only follow the game on a gamecast

per stats blair was better than diaw tonight

doesn't diaw need to shorten his learning curve to realistic eat into a shortened rotation? otherwise, blair will remain the starter.

Diaw eating the rotation hahaha

Depth>Overloading

[lefty]

I can deal with overleading

We needed to add balls, depth and D, and that's what we got

Rather be safe than sorry come playoff time

Diaw is bizarre. Hes been a full-time bigman for much of his career but was actually drafted to be a 2 guard. So while he has the skills and ability to play in the post full-time (and has successfully), he also brings the same skills that a small ball 4 should bring: better foot speed, above average shooting and passing, ballhandling, etc. Guard skills.

doesn't diaw need to shorten his learning curve to realistic eat into a shortened rotation? otherwise, blair will remain the starter.

Diaw has been on the team for 3 days...and played a game every day. He hasn't had a single practice with the team. Hold your horses...all in good time.
