Playoff Rotation

[KillerLeft]

I’d go with three pods of three players:

Luka, Kyrie, and Green play at least 35 minutes each for 105 minutes
Your three bigs (Maxi, Powell, and Wood) will split at most 55 minutes.  
THJ, Reggie, and Hardy split the remaining 80 minutes

McGee, Bertans, and Frank are available for spot duty.

The Mavs are set. It would be ideal if the had a a hybrid power/small forward, but that will have to wait. This team has enough to make some noise if they can find some rebounding.

Could be wrong, but I wouldn't expect Hardy to be in the playoff rotation at all. I admit, he's close enough for it to be plausible, so I'm not 100% convinced of that. That one will be interesting. 

I'm also less convinced than others that we're about to go from 20 minutes per for Green right to 40 minutes per in the playoffs. I get where that's coming from, and we ALL know more Green is needed, but I think there are 1-2 steps to maneuver between "not even a regular in the rotation" (how he ended last season) and "third most integral player, minutes wise, on the team" (where DFS has been for the past few seasons). I think there's a conditioning/game planned against element to that transition that we're very much assuming won't be an issue. Maybe it won't be, but I kind of doubt it. 

My guess is that Green, Bullock and THJ are very close to even, minutes wise, and THAT is a LOT more Green than we were getting even just 2-3 weeks ago.
