Book it

I kinda like:

Calderon
Shump
Melo
Acy
Amare

The biggest thing early is defensive fundamentals and team chemistry/synergy. First you lay the foundation then you add the furniture

I'm ok with this. Just hope he is not in and out of the lineup because of injury

I don't have a problem with this

But what does Fish do with Dennis Rodman

Looks like Fisher is angling for Triangle balance

I totally understand, even if it presents some challenges

With lineups and rotations

I guess this means when Bargnani is healthy

He takes over at the 4, because there's no way he can play center

He can't put the ball on the floor like Bargs but that isn't the end of the world in this offense. It gives the SL a good mix of D and O. If Bargs was healthy I believe he would've started, but Jason is the next best thing IMO. He won't crowd Melo. STAT is perfect off the bench in this scenario.

In the scenario of Phil scouting this team

He said he hopes Amar'e plays (4) 8min rotations/gm

Where will Stat play those minutes if healthy

Somebody isn't going to play much this year

Or Fisher will be juggling lineups-rotations game-to-game

Phil isn't coaching....but it's stil possible for Amare to flirt with 30-32 minutes in a bench role.

Fisher has a tough job but he's relying on his coaching staff to help him figure that out.

Fisher has spoken very highly of Acy so it's interesting how this plays out

Fisher has 96min total at the 4-5 positions

Which almost means Melo can never play at the 4

Dalembert-Smith-Amar'e-Acy-Bargs

96 divided by 5 is 19.5min/gm

Let's say Amar'e gets his 30min

66min divded by 4 comes to 16.5min/gm

In order for Bargnani to come through as a surprise, Phil's words

He's gonna have to log respectable minutes

Let's give him a reasonable number of 24min

66min-24min comes to 42min//// divided by 3 comes to 14min/gm

So Dalembert-Acy-Smith are only going to log 14min/gm

Sorry the math doesn't add up, you can't argue numbers
