Credit SVG for this move, both players are not good enough to play 40 minutes effectively, and he made a move accordingly. Unorthodox, but proving very effective.

Dooling out of the rotation scares me a touch.

He played crappy last game and came off an injury, wouldn't be that concerned with it.. Arroyo is playing better though so he might get less time.

Toronto has been doing that for almost 2 years but it's working better for the Magic. Looks like you need 2 mediocre PG's to get a top performance, if you have one very good PG (like Calderon) limiting his PT will only hurt the team.

arroyo and jameer have been playing pretty good... the only reason were not seeing keyon is because we havent needed his "d" ... the offense is alot more effiecent when keyon is not on the floor but he will be appreciated come playoff time... but this is just another indication on how svg finds what is the best way for us to play ball.

i dont agree with that...it might be working so/so for us right now...but historically Arroyo has sucked and has not performed well for us...he has had about 8-10 good games this whole season...and when Toronto has Bosh in the lineup Ford and Jose produce very well, which has been the majority of the season minus Bosh's current injury and Ford's injury earlier on...

Nelson and Arroyo are blossoming at the right time. Nelsons jumpshot looks like shades of early 2005.

It's not ideal and it concerns me that none of the three can play consistently well (though Jameer seems to be slightly better in that area).

However, given what he has to work with, Stan's made the best of it by being flexible according to matchups and the hot hand. I think that's a how good coach should coach.

stan is doing a great job while having 3 average pg's...lets just hope they are playing well and play consistant when it comes playoff time.. :pray:

Keyon still needs to heal up.

I am all for riding the hot hands as long as we are winning. There is no need to bench a productive player when he is productive. All 3 PG's bring something different.

I doubt it stays this way. I mean, why should it?

Doolings defense will get him back on the floor soon assuming he's healthy.
