According to net rating, DLo + Dinwiddie should be our starting backcourt.

    If/When Vando comes back Iā€™d like to see the stats for: A Vando in for Rui lineup, A Vando in for Reaves lineup, and a Dinwiddie in for Reaves lineup.

    Stop it. It’s almost playoffs and still pushing the narrative for AR to come from the bench.

  3. No. This team isnā€™t coached well enough to pull this off. Just start your 5 best players and give them the most minutes.

    Nah bro u need Dinwiddie ball handling and playmaking otb.

    All healthy heres my rotation

    DLO Vando Rui Bron AD

    Bench

    Dinwiddie Reaves Max Wood/Hayes split mins

    Lakers found their starting SG for the playoffs. Dinwiddie can keep the defense honest just as much as Reaves while being a better poa defender. The Bucks game coming up is perfect time for Ham to start Dlo/Dinwiddie/Lebron/Rui/AD.

    We have a great record with this starting lineup, it doesnā€™t need to be touched, What needs tweaking is the rotations after them. It just means Spencer should be our 6th man and he will do great with either Dlo or Austin when staggering.

    Wish vando was healthy so we could put it all together.

    Using net rating as a basis to make lineup adjustments, huge yikes.Ā

    Yeah Iā€™ve advocated for dinwiddie and dlo to start since we got him. Heā€™s a better fit than reaves next to Dlo, and can make up for Dloā€™s defense which reaves canā€™t do. Obviously love reaves and he should still play big minutes.

    Been saying this. AR is a bench player. He would not start on any other team in the league. Put Dinwiddie in. Don’t at me.

    Thereā€™s obviously different directions we could go, but I think dlo cemented his starting role with his recent games this year. As long as rui and AR get their minutes in the high 20s or 30s then Iā€™m happy whether itā€™s off the bench or not

    Iā€™m a 100% for a Dlo Spencer Rui LBJ AD lineup with Reaves, Vando, Prince and Hayes off the bench for the playoffs. Reaves shines as 6th man and Spencer has been pretty good defensively. If Gabe comes back he needs to be in the rotation too

  12. I mean it makes sense. But instead of changing the starting line up again, have Dinwiddie sub in for Reaves mid 1st Q instead of DLO. So then Reaves would be able to play more with Lebron.

  13. nice_kitchen

    Makes sense on paper. He’s a better PoA defender than Reaves which solves a really big hole the starters have had most of the season. That said, Reaves has status with the team and the trust of our stars and I don’t think Ham has the buy-in required for a shakeup like that at this point.

    They complement eachother very well. Ā I prefer to see dinwiddies defense and can shoot the three without needing the ball in his hands, rather than Austin reaves get run up on on defense over and over. Ā Reaves should be our sixth man

  15. blacPanther55

    That’s obvious. Reaves and Dlo are terrible defensively together.

  16. No

    But what it tells me is if this team closes season strong and brings back most of the team:

    ā€¢ Dinwiddie being brought back on a vet min should happen

    ā€¢ Go get a starting SG (maybe Kris Dunn?) who can defend. Bring ReVes off the bench (though you can still get him and DLO 28-34 MPG depending on how theyā€™re doing).

    Trevor is a huge Reaves Stan I’m proud of him for making this video.

  18. BusiestWolf

    Shouldā€™ve traded Reaves instead of DLo for Murray when they had the chance
