Code: Select all
Jeff Teague PG Ty Lawson
Kirk Hinrich SG Arron Afflalo
Joe Johnson SF Danilo Gallinari
Josh Smith PF Kenneth Faried
Zaza Pachulia C Nene
Marvin off the bench.
Larry Drew went with Kirk Hinrich at shooting guard, Joe Johnson at small forward & Marvin Williams on the bench vs Sacramento.
Drew has said he’s considered using it regularly but never has committed to it and still isn’t.
“Possibly,” Drew said. “I’m big on matchups. Coming into this game, one of my fears was they started three guards. I didn’t want to put our club at a disadvantage having Marvin chasing guards."
That would indicate a 1 time thing...
But he also said "It has some value for us in playing Kirk in that starting spot. We bring in a guy who gives us a toughness. We are a little bit more defensive-minded with him in there. When Marvin comes off the bench, he comes in more as being a first, second or third option.”
Potential weaknesses is rebounding,,,but Sacto went small last game and Radmanovic had 10 boards. We'll see what we can do this game.
Oh and watch out for Faried vs Smith. Believe it or not, Kenneth Faried is in a lot of ways more athletic than Josh Smith. A bit smaller, but thus quicker, more stamina/better motor and more explosive. I think his quickness, motor, and strength could help him frustrate Smith in the post.
Smith has more skills and experience and will look to make plays for himself and others in transition.
Who wins the PF matchup? Is it even close?

Joe is having a nightmare close to the game. Turnover, doesn't box out, bad shot, then blown d assignment. Ew....

We go on a 14-6 run to take a 6pt lead, then we have 4 straight bad possessions. It was obvious that we were tired but Drew took too long to call timeout?

Ty Lawson was 7-9, 4-5 from 3 and what happens? He misses a layup.

Kirk has not sucked for two games in a row. I am fine with this Hinrich getting PT.

I almost posted that Joe needed to stay away from the ball, he was so putrid. Then, all of a sudden, he becomes money again.

That shot by Joe was a Josh smith jumper..I don't care that it went in, that's a horrible play/shot and they should not be fooled and think that is a good play.

And apparently they were fooled because it's the ISO Joe show....this is going to cost us this game.
