What's new

Locke's Sniveling

Roll with

Exum
AB
Crowder
Jerebko
Favors

Or call up Bradley. Tbh its been a minute since Ive been impressed with our starting 5.

I dont see this as an issue at all, we have depth for a reason. I'd say its more mental fatigue than physical also. An example of this is DM seems to have run out of ideas when attacking and settles for jumpers.

This is a new take... our starting 5 and starters w/ Crowder instead of Favors have been great.

Meh.

-Rudy and Rubio been getting torched
-Jingles is back to turning down open looks and turning it over a ton in PnR
-Mitchell is obviously tired, poor shooting, poor decision making, poor defending
-Crowder has been ok but cant rebound, his defense seems to have dropped off
-Favors has been the best of the lot but sits.

You're disappointed with individual production then? Our starting lineup has been one of the best in the league, don't see a reason to change anything.

I dont think thats true, you'll need to show some numbers to support that statement.

Anyway, I was responding to the comment on fatigue and stated we had the depth to run with other guys if our starters needed a break.

Im not advocating changing the starting 5 going forward though.
 
I dunno why this is controversial. 76 games into the season where 3 guys have played 2000 minutes or more (Mitchell, Ingles, Rubio), a 4th will reach 2000 next game (Favors, 1983min), and a fifth is only shy of the mark because he lost 26 games to injury (Gobert, 2nd in mpg), yeah, guys are worn out. Of course, if Locke had gone a step further and analyzed why these 5 are logging such heavy minutes, and concluded either (a) our starters play a lot because our bench isn't very good, or (b) Snyder hasn't done a good job of finding ways to rest these guys, who don't play significantly less minutes in a blowout win, or (c) a combination of the two - Snyder overplays the starters because he doesn't trust guys on the bench; then maybe there'd be some controversy. All he's done is state the obvious and duck the real issue.

Snyder definitely overplays our main guys in blowouts and I think that needs to change
