I think when Melo's back Walker gets nothing, so its Lin, Fields, Melo, Amear, Chandler with Baron (eventually), Shump, JR and JJ off the bench? No Novak?Guess coach will figure it out
I think until playoffs start its something like this, depending on the hot hand, what is nice about this (and I think I was like 52% against this) is that if any combo of Fields/Shump/JR/Novak/Walker are playing bad, we can pretty much mix and match them and play the hot hand. I don't know if MDA can make those lineup adjustments on the fly instead of sticking to a rigid 8/9 man rotation but he will have to. Come March/April, we're gonna need a 10 deep rotation to save some juice for the playoffs.
PG: Lin 35, Shump 13
SG: Landry 30, JR 10, Shump 8
SF: Melo 35, JR 8, Shump 5
PF: Amare 30, Jefferies 5, Novak 13
C: Chandler 35, Jefferies 13
Jorts/Walker/Davis???
