Tired of the uncreative mashing of incompatible players together.
Rose-Butler-Gibson-Gasol-Noah imo are the best 5 players, followed by Dunleavy, Mirotic (and rising), Brooks, captain Kirk, McDermot, Snell
my opinion. But they need to be patched together, that isn't a starting 5, and Gasol and Noah imo have not shown they are tremendously effective together and both need to be preserved and rested.
Rose-Butler-Dunleavy-Gibson-Noah should be our starters, they have familiarity and diverse skills, with Gasol leading the bench mob.
Rose-Brooks-Butler-Mirotic-Gasol warrants a hard look situationally and I would like to see how Mirotic and Gasol can utilize each other more often.
Rose-Butler-Mirotic-Gibson-Noah as has been brought up has some interesting statistical nuance.
when we rest Rose-Butler
Rose-Henrich-Dunleavy-Mirotic-Gasol
Brooks-Butler-Mirotic-Gibson-Noah are two lineups I don't see happening. Or try flipping the guards. I see a stagnant team on offense often and I don't know why. These pieces need to be blended better whatever the solution, we need to find combinations that are expected by the players and where they can start to define rolls instead of taking turns in iso.
I wanted to vent about the offense before the Spurs/Mavs games, because Thibs solution is dumb, "guys need to shoot if their open"...he keeps repeating it. We aren't creating easy buckets though, its stupid just to be a shot jacking team and not run offense when you have the players we have who create mismatch problems literally everywhere at once. I'm highly concerned we are not schematically advanced enough on offfense to win an NBA championship, I don't know who is running the offense, but during that bad stretch it was one of the silliest looking offenses in the NBA. Our guys are good enough to win anyway when they hit shots, but with Thibs defense and this many current and former all-stars its unacceptable to look clueless running an offense.
What needs to change? Who is to blame? And may it be necessary to give Mark Jackson a couple years with Rose and see if he can develop him the way he developed Curry?
I have loved Thibs, but his voice seems to be getting monotone and may not be the right one for this offensive group. Mark Jackson or Van Gundy would be legitimate options if all Thibs can say is "open guy has to shoot." Come on man....thats it? Open guy has to shoot?
