If you want to start Rolo that use him for what he is good at. Lots of picks.
My thinking is a well run system can produce greater than the sum of the parts.
The goal should be to orchestrate the talent we have and run the triangle. Phil and Fish both have experienced what happens can be magic. They also have experienced that not all the teams will get it, or it takes Time. Kobe and Shaq are not on our team, and neither is Jordan or pippen.
None of them won a chip prior to getting with phil. Only Shaq has won without him.
im not saying this team can win a championship, but if they can get it right will do some damage in the league.
I think its worth the growing pains to implement it. Adversity while doing it is also part of the learning curve. Since we are not in "win now mode" Im ok with it.
I don't think many agree with being patient and looking beyond whats in front of you. If IM watching a game and team is losing I have to remind myself there is a long term plan.
Its not failing on purpose, its part of growing a system and culture. IT must be experienced for it to evolve. Inconsistency is actually a postitive sign. It means they are "getting it" at times.
Its frustrating when they are not.
Remind yourself there is a big picture.
