What lineup now with Gobert returning?

[jjscap]

Quin Snyder has some options but all of these have certain handicaps, both on and off the court. I think this is one of the toughest challenges of his young career.

My guess is he'll bench Rubio taking his last 0/7 game into account and field a real shooter instead. With Hood out injured, it may be Burks. He'll give ball handling duties to DM and put Gobert on minutes restriction so he can still play some small lineups featuring Jerebko-Favors.

I'll say he'll start with

DM - Burks - Ingles - Favors - Gobert

and move Favors to the center during the game.

So what will be the lineup? Worst thing would going back to old and ugly lineup. And you can't bench either Fav or Gobert.

They are going to go back to that lineup. They will just sub out Gobert/Rubio earlier (which will switch to Favors later when Gobert gets off his minutes restriction).

Start Gobert and Favors. Take Favors out after 4 min, he can spell Gobert the rest of the game

The fans could march in with torches one evening in between home games.

thats the elephant in the room that nobody addressed. What the heck are we going to look like? back to the slow crappy turnover machine? I just dont see the spacing happening with a favors, gobert, rubio line up. surely the coaches know this

 

[Ron Mexico]

Gobert is on a minute restriction. My guess is that they will bring Gobert off the bench and keep the same starting lineup they have been playing. Hopefully by next game Hood will be back and they will start him again and have Mitchell-Hood-Inlges-Favors-Gobert.

Well, NM. It looks like Gobert and Favors will start and then be off set soon.

There is no good reason to not bench Rubio.

you know why mitchel had room to drive all game right? the pelicans had to go out to the perimiter and guard. Cousins was pulled all teh way back and when he was left in the paint he would reach. Rubio doesn't give you that dynamic. so?
