Stan actually played Jackson and Ish together! I almost had a heart attack! He's coming around!!!!!!


It was actually a pretty dumb move only in that, RJ took the point and Ish played off ball.............................................RJ needs to learn how to score without the ball in his hands


Yeah, I noticed that too.


Just the thought that Stan might actually play our best five players together is grounds for excitement. And when that happens, Harris should have the ball.....

And the next best on the inactive list.

Stan's confusing.

The game has passed him by first of all, and second of all this is the coach/GM problem. SVG the coach trying to make sure the GM's highest paid guys play.

I don't think playing Ish over Bradley in the backcourt means our 5 best players but the fact he's being less rigid and open to different lineups based on matchups is a reason for excitement.

Bradley's part of that five..... Drummond, Harris, Ish, Reggie, Bradley. Small, but talented.

That looks worse to me then just putting Johnson in instead. Kids playing good on both sides and has a lot more size then Bradley at the 3 who's like 6'1.

The only thing you gain would be another playmaker in the backcourt but it's not like SJ has bad vision anyways.

Ish and Reggie are redundant together. Both are very ineffective off-the-ball. Swapping Johnson for Ish also turns a solid defensive lineup into a horrible one by moving so many guys out of position.

I'm completely aware of the tradeoff. Still - best five players in at the same time? Something we never do! Humor me!

its pointless to make that line up change and then call for plays with RJ in the ball in his hands. It was a idiotic move that is intriguing until he failed to execute that rotation properly.

Our best 5 start the game though

Ish is not a "better" player than SJ!

Ish is a great spark plug but defensively? SJ all day
