The man works in mysterious ways. I think he's just tinkering around with lineups, experimenting to see what combinations do what kinds of things out on the floor. I agree, it's not necessarily the way I'd do it, but I trust Brown is learning about the team using his method and will use that knowledge to the team's benefit once the season starts. I think it's at least safe to say that he's seeing tons of stuff out there that none of us are really picking up on.

Of course it's tough because of the injuries. Q in particular, since JC has taken more of a PG role Q is really our only gunner out there on the perimeter. Having him healthy and playing big minutes will change the look of the team significantly I think.

the problem with the rotations has been injuries and wanting to see what a number of guys can actually do.

I have no problem with holding Curry down to around 20mpg right now. I don't want to see him McDyess-ed in the pre-season for no reason. I think the rookies have all gotten good playing time. But it's hard to develop a rotation when Curry is being held back, JJ hasn't played and Q has only played twice.

Didn't Brown say before the preseason even started that he was just going to experiment with linups and that whoever starts/plays how many minutes in preseason is no inidcator of his real rotation? I def remember him saying somethign to that extant.

I agree fish, to me staring Taylor one game and then Rose another game is a waste, really it is, we know what those guys can do...

We know what they can do, but do we know how they fit in with other players on the court? We can theorize and make good guesses but no one knows for sure til they actually get out there and play together. It's not just about evaluating individual players, it's about evaluating the chemistry and synergy of whole 5 man units.

They should be buried on the bench

They should be buried under the garden.
