Ellenson and Boban will finally play! 

Post#1 » by TurboTitan » Thu Apr 6, 2017 5:44 pm

SVG says Henry Ellenson and Boban will play extended minutes in the final 4 games of the season. Thoughts?

Boban should've taken Bayne's minutes in December

Both these guys should've taken Dre's, Mook's, and Leuer's minutes a long time ago. Stubbornness will be the death of this team.

Regardless of how they play, it will make these final 4 games more interesting.

my biggest concern with playing Boban extended minutes is that we might win some games.

Then again, knowing SVG, "more minutes" probably means 6 or 7 a game.

Often teams trying to rank can win a few games when they play their bench guys.

Probably due to fatigue among other factors, but this might in fact hurt the tank more than playing our starters

It sounds like we are still playing our starters, but just playing an 11 man rotation. I expect ellenson and boban to get 15-20 mins

it sounds like they're gonna try to go with a 10 man rotation.

so... hilliard, gbinijie, jackson are the likely candidates to sit out. baynes will likely sit a couple games and then they might have a rotation where they sit harris, morris, leuer or something like that.

if KCP gets a night rest then hilliard/gbinijie will see minutes i'm guessing.

I wanna see Gbinijie. Back up SG is among the weakest spots on our roster. Gotta see what we got.

When Iso Mook will be gone I'll give a party under the Coliseum

One extreme to the next, but that is sweet if he is.

I always think it's funny how popular the 3rd string guys are. I guess it's the only thing we have left to look forward to this season.

Shut down Mook, let him ISO his way to the bench.
See what we have in Ellenson and SJ
Reduce KCP's minutes
