I didn't get to watch the game... Was Griffin plating less center?

Yeah Moreland had maybe his best game ever: 10p, 12r, 6a, so Blake didn't need to play C at all.

Stanley with a +36 in 30 minutes off the bench

Not falling for this crap....the rotations are crap. If we're depending on Moreland to give solid minutes at center every night to get us into the post season, this team has no shot. If we're going to consistently rely on lineups of Byucks, Galloway, Johnson, Tolliver, and Moreland to get us in the playoffs, this team HAS NO SHOT. March is about to get real ugly.

I'll give the game a watch later tonight, but looking at the boxscore it looks like Johnson got a chance to be a playmaker and moreland played back up center over griffin and those 2 things alone give me a slight slither of hope.
If SVG still insists on starting ish, he should keep Johnson as 6th. That, or start galloway and give Johnson more playmaking duties.

He didn't play any center at all. Which was great.

If we play everyone off b2b we might go 82-0

it would be 81-1, because first game of the season is not b2b.
Or we need a really lucky schedule!

[rmfc]

Ya he's best suited off the bench. Can have the ball in his hands more and play against 2nd unit talent

Or maybe roll with

Langston
Bullock
Stanley
Blake
Dre

Like so many have asked for since the Blake trade.

I'd try this to see what happens. Ish, as a starting PG on this team, is just painful to watch.

Well, this is what we should do to teams that play small ball. 57 to 35 on the glass. Clogged the paint with our bigs and let our wings get up after them to contest everything. Of course, the key is doing that every night. Our bench isn't going to contribute that much consistently, but Dre and Blake aren't getting any smaller and there is no reason bullock, ennis and SJ can't get after it defensively every game.

Little bit of an asterisk with Bucks being on a b2b, but the lineups, rotation, and energy has me feeling great moving forward.
