My point? My point is the basis for you telling us we should have all seen this coming (like you did) is flimsy. "Where they left off" was three regular season games. The reason they tried it at all was because they finally gave up on Richardson. And, it wasn't actually "where they left off" since we played seven games after that with Maxi starting four, Boban starting three and Powell/Willie starting zero.
If you see the starting lineup today as surprising, or a big development, okay.
I do not, considering where they left off in my estimation and in light of the lack of change regarding all those bigs.
As for whether they really intended to bring back that same crew completely intact, or simply found themselves stuck, there's the fuzzy part to me.
