Who are you thinking is getting their minutes taken?!


Someone is going to be unlucky tbh.

Could be Dru/Fontecchio. Could be Niko.

Powell also could lose a few minutes and hover around 28mpg.

Could also see Spo doing Spo things and cutting Jovic/Ware minutes too and going extra small. Would be on brand.


Would be funny considering we’d be 3-0 if we played big game 1

Spo loves Dru and he's a true PG. I doubt it's going to be him. I hated Dru when we first started play him but the more I watch him I realize he just makes the right play or at least tries to.

I'm thinking Simone? Between Wiggins, Jaquez and Jovic I can see Spo thinking he has enough guys there at the 3/4.


It's too bad Fontecchio has been a pleasant surprise so far. He's got some size on him too.

I wish Ware would be more assertive. Always seems so tentative. Also, did we see any Ware + Niko minutes today? It felt like Spo was making sure it was only Bam + Ware or Bam + Niko.

Jaime needs to be in the crunch time rotation

While I do agree with you we'd be 3-0 if we played big game 1...tonight showed me why Spo is so frustrated with Ware. Wtf was that effort in the first half? This dude has so much potential man but his motor isn't always engaged.

I don’t know what his answer is, i don’t know what the correct answer is… but as a fan, i am enjoying everyone with at least the potential of making a defensive play.

They called me a mad man for saying this team could win 50 games. They look like that type of team so far

Good problem to have.
It may be the first time Spo has to play it by ear.

I can see the return of Herro equalizing the starting unit vs the Knicks. The bench however is much more solid than the Knicks.

Looking at the way spo has been using Mitchell these 3 games, I think he's going to the bench for herro.


There’s no way Herro comes off the bench, his and Powell’s spacing and scoring would really help the starters, can't double Herro that much anymore.

I’d roll with Davion, Herro, Powell, Bam, and Ware as the starting five, and let Wiggs come off the bench.


Where did i write he's going to the bench?

Can't mention herro without preparing for a fight.

Offense looks modernized and they are pushing the ball. Herro is going to absolutely thrive in this type of deal, he’s a flow player.

For anyone wondering, Duncan was 2/7 FG 2/7 3pt for 8 pts 4 rebs & 1 ast tonight for the Pistons. :lol:

Knowing this team it will be no problem at all. Someone else will get hurt as Herro returns.

No Rozier to lose these games this year.
