Why don't the Clippers use a three man PF/C rotation 

Post#1 » by NinjaSheppard » Sat Mar 23, 2013 7:24 pm

Just something I have been wondering about. Clippers have three quality (depending on what you think of Odom but for the purposes of his role on the team let`s consider him one) bigs and then Hollins/Turiaf who are terrible. One of their bigs is DeAndre Jordan who plays 24 minutes a game because of alleged problems playing him due to his free throw shooting. The team never closes games with Turiaf or Hollins unless they are blowouts. Additionally Odom basically plays center but can also play the 4.

Instead of giving minutes to scrubs like Hollins/Turiaf I don't see why DeAndre doesn't just soak up their minutes. You are going to get better production and give him more reps for the post season.

Would really like to hear some thoughts from Clippers fans?

I wouldn't call Hollins and Turiaf terrible, they are role players, yes, and have things they can do well. In the playoffs that will be the case, but foul trouble, Vinny liking to go with an all bench lineup once in a while, and blowouts means those guys see the floor

larry brown or mike D would have utilized a 3 men rotation for the bigs, but this is Vinny Del Negro's regime.

I like when CP3 & Bled play together, I like it more when Crawford is on the floor w/ them. I don't want LamLam on the floor at all.
