I will say this though, Jett looks much improved

The bench unit offense always looks so much more organized and makes so much more sense than the SL. Much more movement and guys makes passes and being in spots that make sense.

Franz went out early. I feel like actual game he would come in an shorten rotation to 9

I don't see us going 9. If we do, our pace is going to be slower again. And I think we always start playing 10-11 because no team wants to burn themselves out early

Teams like Pacers/Thunder had blistering pace and had rotations up to 11.

So if y'all want ELITE defense + fast pace it's going to require a lot of people going in and out.

Jeff Turner on RealGM right now. He said exactly what you said. :lol:

I like Penda in this lineup over TDS.

hopefully he stays healthy. The pelicans gave away their 2026 pick for Derik Queen and then he got injured...

Yeah, bench unit wasn’t preforming. I wish Jase would get some burn.

ABs problem is that offense is not instinctual yet

KillMonger · Post #79 » by **KillMonger** » Thu Oct 16, 2025 11:52 pm

so is jase getting a day off?(which i think is stupid) or is he injured?

Lineups are being tightened as they're looking at most of the rotational guys right now. Jase/Penda will get minutes at some point but someone has to actively lose them.
