Dante Exum says he and George Hill went up against each other in scrimmage, didn't play together

Thought DL's analysis of Popovich using his depth like a baseball manager uses a bullpen was interesting.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

Let's say 4 key players are injured at the same time. Burks, Johnson, Gobert, and Exum.

No, let's not say that. Instead, let's say I kick you in the nuts for writing such a thing.

We'll get a decent amount of rest from boat racing teams this year. NBA teams hardly practice during the season anyways.

Hayward and Favors would destroy Lyles and Johnson.

Flip flop teams so they're relatively even.

Perhaps but I doubt it would be starters v bench.

Gobert
Lyles
Hayward
Burks
Exum

Diaw
Favors

Yep, or starting bigs vs starting backcourt.

Gobert
Favors
Johnson
Burks*
Exum

vs.

Diaw
Lyles
Hayward
Hood
Hill

Something like this.

In fact, given the depth... I expect we will have games where players are sat down to rest as a method to prevent injuries. The Spurs depth is constantly utilized throughout the season to rest their vets. We are modeled after their success. There SHOULD be games where Hayward, Gobert, and Hood DNP or play us to a lead and then sit for long stretches.

Duncan Parker and Ginobili didn't get dnp's till they got older. The core is a bunch of 20 somethings no need to rest them. Maybe Ingles gets Johnsons mins from time to time or Diaw plays less at times, but no reason to give guys like Hayward, Favors, Gobert, and Hood and others dnp's at this stage of their careers.

I don't see the point in making sure the teams are even during scrimmages. The score doesn't matter. It only makes sense to play lineups that you're planning on playing in the game or for experimental purposes.

Or perhaps it's more important to mix it up and make sure everyone learns to play their role regardless of who they're on the court with, so we can put out a large range of lineups.

This place makes me laugh. I bet it would shock some of you if I told you the teams in practice are always switching up. I know its crazy sounding but "set teams" in practice does not exist. A coach will switch up to punishpeople, to scout an opposing team better, and other reasons.

the spurs have earned the right to sit players. WTF have the Jaz done? seriously stop with the dumbness and disrespect by trying toput the Jzz on same line with teams that have ACTUALLY won.

The changing of the guard is on it's way, bitch. Hide and watch.

So you target one of the posts showing that there would be different line ups? Stellar work Matlock.
