A) This is most assuredly thread-worthy.
B) You may be ready... but you will not be banned for this.

God, I love ruining people's days by abusing my Mod Powers!

I'm assuming that Canaan & Covington will be regulars down in McAllen with the Vipers.

Do Motie & Jones spend any more time down there this season?

AB will be our starting PF....end of discussion 8-)

I really don't want to start Howard/Asik combo.

If he's coming off the bench to backup the 1/2 then....

Somewhere around 25-30 mins

Lin's minutes will go down imo.

Not enough or too many, depending on who you ask.

OK, so we are starting the season with:

PG - Captain Beverley
SG - Harden
SF - Parsons
PF - Dwight
C - The Judge

Linobli will start off in the sixth man role, but I see him and Beverley averaging about the same time on the floor. Asik & Howard probably won't play extended stretches together, but at least one should be on the floor at all times.

Harden will play too many minutes again. The only way I don't see that happening is if McHale runs Linobli & the Captain together for long stretches.

For the rest of the rotation I think that it will end up with Garcia, Casspi & Motie as the key guys off of the bench, possibly Greg Smith as well.

There are so many potential lineups with these guys! Can't wait!

MKL · Post #20 » by **MKL** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 7:05 pm

I agree with Mr. E on most parts.

But looking at it logistically. Lin will have less minutes than Beverley. Because McHale doesn't believe Lin can play with Harden. Harden gets 38 min a game.

So, Guy986 makes sense on Lin's minutes.

We will have small ball in the 4th quarter with Beverly + Lin + Harden. But, having Lin + Harden the same amount of minutes compared to Beverley + Harden defeats the purpose of benching Lin in the first place.

McHale do as McHale does...
