Back in the day, Riley was all about an 8 man playoff rotation. Subbing ONLY when necessary and subbing smartly. I think this tight rotation is like the golden rotation, only to be used by championship teams...sooooo.

Assuming we get the 8th seed and have to match up with Shaq and the heat, what is your 8 (or 9) man rotation with the lineup we currently have...I'm torn, but I'm thinking it's:

Marbs, Craw, Q, Curry, JJ
and Ariza, Frye and ... Because of wade, and the fact that we are dropping weight on shaq, I'm gonna have to go with...

Nate and Lee? Penny and Rose?

I just don't know, hence the thread. (just curious)

Thoughts?


PS...our last playoff "eight man" rotation (actually it was 9 and van gundy) was:
Knicks:
Mark Jackson (7.6 pts, 8.0 ast)
Allan Houston (18.7 pts),
Latrell Sprewell (17.7 pts, 4.5 reb),
Kurt Thomas (10.4 pts, 6.7 reb),
Marcus Camby (12.0 pts, 11.5 reb),

bench:
Glen Rice (12.0 pts, 4.1 reb),
Larry Johnson (9.9 pts, 5.6 reb),
Charlie Ward (7.1 pts, 4.5 ast)
Also, Othella Harrington (9.0 pts, 5.2 reb) played as well.

I can't remember back when it was harper, but I think mason, starks and someone else came in.

well im playin wit the team in NBA live lol and i have a 8 man rotation.. its like this


C/Curry
PF Frye
SF Q
SG Craw
PG Steph with James comin off the bench.. Ariza and Nate... one big, one middle, one small... with david Lee or rose seein occasional minutes here and there... however thats a video game.. and im doin it cuz i want the young guys to see minutes.. if we are talking real life... i might do it like this


Curry
Rose
Ariza
Q
Steph with Nate, JJ, Frye and Craw comin off the bench.. so thats 9... i just would do that
cuz it would give us some defensive ballence to our starting 5 with ariza and rose... but really, i think we would be quite formadable with the lineup i play with in live lol.. only thing is, how will Frye develop

Curry
Rose
Q
Jc
SM

bench

JJ
frye
MO
Allan
Nate.

theres no way around not playing ten guys' and that still leaves Penny, lee, ariza. This is not going to be easy.

Curry
James
Malik
AD
Marbury
Q Rich
Crawford
Mo
Ariza

If AD doesnt make the team...then Frye.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

I guess we're all in agreement that there is no way to form an 8 man rotation on this squad until we see them play. I have a hope squad, a nba2k6 squad and a what could just happen squad.

James
Curry
Q
Steph
Craw
N8
Reezy
AD
Rose

If it's a 10-man, then add Mo or Allan.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Oops! Thanks for reminding me about him, Hoss.

Wow... Maybe a 12-man rotation isn't that bad after all...

I could see LB going with two different lineups. one for before Rooks shape up:
Curry, Rose, Q, Craw, Marbs (JJ/AD+, Reezy, MoT, H20/Penny)
then once they catch on...and h20 goes down and penny is traded...
Curry, Frye, Q, Craw, Marbs (AD, Lee/Rose/MoT*, Reezy, Nate)

+ If AD isn't here, replace with JJ...IMHO, I think we replaced JJ with AD and Curry (if AD stays)
* I'm seeing rose and/or MoT gone once Lee starts to play well.

Yep, the center I was once high on JJ will be squeezed out by AD and frye.
