    They don’t even have their defensive guys right now, Vando, Gabe, Cam, Christie…

    Right?! Because this ain’t even our final form. Our defensive guys aren’t even available lol

    considering ham only plays 9 players, bro lots of players here will lose minutes. you would just pick between hayes and wood then max christie, reddish? and gabe or spencer.. unless he learns something from mavs cause they play 10-11 players right now, depends on the situation but they maximize their depth to give longer rest to the other players

    DID MIKEY ASK A QUESTION TO GET THIS REPONSE?!

    Im only interested in conversations between D’Lo and Mikey.

    He’s right. They’ve been playing without a coach all season and still have a decent record.

    Vando is the only guy missing that I think should get consistent minutes when he’s back. Vincent shouldn’t take Dinwiddies minutes, then Cam and Christie should only play if the defense really is struggling.

  7. I was just looking at the per 36 averages of our new starting lineup

    LeBron – 25.6
    AD – 25.1
    DLo – 20.1
    Reaves – 18.3
    Rui – 17.8
    Total – 106.9

    That’s pretty impressive, giving that the highest scoring team in the NBA, the Indiana Pacers, is only scoring 123.5 per 48 minutes.

    Of course these numbers are a bit inflated of what they could actually accomplish, as none of them have been playing a full 36 minutes per game, and they don’t always play with the others (e.g., Rui’s numbers go up in games that LeBron sits.). And those who replace them when they sit are scoring at a much lower rate.

    Still though, you can see why this lineup is doing serious damage. I haven’t checked yet but I wonder how it compares with other starting lineups in the league.

    The problem is Ham doesn’t know how to come up with a rotation that makes sense given the full roster.

    They absolutely can. My main concerns are health, the remaining strength of schedule and how low they are in the standings. They’re four losses behind the Pels for the 6th spot.

    Along with a lot of us here I’ve been screaming for more Rui minutes so it’s nice to be vindicated. It’s not like it was some big brained BBIQ idea either, it’s always been so fucking obvious
