Game 7: Shorten The Rotation

[K...]

I agree with op but want to take it further and just play 4 players. This is a game seven, you can't lean on the bench or even the fifth starter on a game like this. The refs will be looking to foul out poeltl, let's suprise them by scratching him from the game. The Spurs Dont have a true a SF, instead of playing DeMar as a three, let's put a help wanted sign on the floor and see if anyone (Durant, LeBron, kawhi plz) will sign up.

Play Walker, really? Lonnie is a headless chicken out there. Can't play someone who doesn't know what he's doing. There is a reason he plays garbage time only.
As for the rotation, we're gonna play 6 guys and Denver will play 9 or 10 be waaaay fresher than we are down the stretch and you expect a win?
Denver pushes the pace at home, goes for more possessions. If we shorten the rotation that drastically this game will be over in the first half.
None of all this matters if Murray is 100%, we're gonna lose anyway. They are not missing so many open threes at home.

Belinelli needs to take more shots! That's as simple a formula as it can get. The offense should be looking for opportunities to get Marco open.

It would be nice, I think he has the balls to come up big again on Saturday but Denver is going to give him no air at all. Him and Gay have to give us something in Denver.

I totally agree

That would actually be pretty awesome.


Of course we're already playing 4 on 5, defensively, whenever Mills is in the game, so we're basically used to that at this point.

We used all five starters on your mom.

[Spurtacular]

All you ers who couldn't cosign getting Forbes the out of it.

[Spurtacular]

And Mills the first one off the bench.

[Spurtacular]

BTW, Pop actually did go with eight.

Too bad he went full re and gave 39 minutes to Forbes and 29 to Patty while giving Bertans a DNP

[Spurtacular]

Use Mills sparingly. Use Forbes very sparingly. Maybe don't even play one of them. Frankly, I'd even give some of their minutes to guys like Walker or Cunningham, who can actually play defense. Cut Bertans minutes if he's being dead weight.

White, LMA, Gay, Derozan, Poeltl, Bellinelli are the core six. Don't get cute with your stupid planned rotations regardless of whether it s stuff up, Pop. Again, if you need placeholders to give a blow, go with guys who can actually play defense or put Forbes/Mills in for two minutes max a pop.

All this said, I know Pop gonna do something stupid like give Mills 28 minutes.

And this was me pulling my punches, tbh.
