I almost feel like when I watch your games (although you're far from my favorite team), that there are so many pieces that you just need to define a rotation and roles for the guys. I know some things depend upon matchups, but it seems like there's a pretty heavy variance between who gets the minutes/looks between games. I could care less about fantasy stats, but it's just an interesting observation.
rotations and roles have been our main issues this year..
we've added 2 new guys in Mason and Hill, and they were both huge parts as to why we were able to have a great record without Parker and Ginobili..the problem with the return of the 2 guys is that Mason and Hill now lack roles and don't have steady minutes and looks..
Popovich only flaw as a coach as that he's too relient on guys that have been loyal to the team..like Finley, for instance..he also seems scared to take away looks from Parker and Ginobili, or bench them when they're struggling..he's definitely still trying to manage minutes and the rotation..he's been saving Bowen for teams that have good wing players, which I think is a mistake, since Bowen is still capable of being an impact player at any moment, as he's shown many times this year..
Mason isn't getting ANY set plays for him anymore, which is ridiculous, considering how well he played to start off the year..
also, we rely on 3's too much, we need more variety IMO..
this team still needs a lot of work..
