Brandon hopefully was not hurt. Hardy and Din sort of gave up on D if you ask me. It was an embarrasment to watch this game losing by 35 points.
Next game is a playoff game with AD Lively PJ Klay and if looks from this game matter then I would trim it down by a lot who I play with those 4.
Brandon and Exum need to play the PG minutes obviously the center belongs to Gafford and Lively. PJ, Klay and AD need to play as many minutes as they can but with our bigs all coming back from injury we will need to play Kai some out there to reduce their minutes so that is 8 players. Playoff teams tend to play fewer guys and if that is all we played then that is a look I officially endorse given how badly our guys looked today.
At SF your playing only PJ so does anyone deserve minutes behind him? I see Naji as a midrange only kind of guy and someone you allow to shoot the 3 so I am losing faith in his fools gold production because his 3 game sucks and he tends to lose his focus and turns the ball over way to many times. His offense is okay when he is getting it closer to the basket but even then your better off using AD and our other bigs in that kind of game.
At SG behind Klay you need 3 pointers and lets look at the order of who shoots them best. https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/na...t/dir/desc
So of guys not in the rotation so far we are limited to looking at Hardy and Max
For a defender you bring off the bench I would say that Kessler and Omax might be useful but that is not happening.
If I limit the rotation to a play off rotation I am only playing these guys
Lively Gafford
AD Kai PJ
PJ Max Klay
Klay Max
Brandon Exum
Oh that is right we have no Kai now in the playoffs. Hopefully AD can play heavy minutes and that goes as well for lively and Gafford or it is Powell we throw out there.
If someone is hitting every 3 in pregame shooting maybe I play them in certain situations behind Max
This is not a deep team.
