They always sub guys in and out. Usually one or two at a time. It doesn't make much sense to play a guy in 12-15 min stretches. You will rarely see that unless its a very important game, its close, and its the 2nd half.
You often see a complete lineup change around the 10 minute mark. Even if it takes about 2 minutes to accomplish, it still makes little sense to me. I'm not an athletic trainer, so I may be unaware of certain physical constraints, but it seems to me that it shouldn't be that difficult to have at least two out of your five best players on the court at all times.
Guys, it is going to take a while for Westphal to work everything out. He has to figure this out along with everyone else. How about giving the guy more than 15 mins to figure this out before jumping all over him?
The Kings need a big man so bad, it's just pathetic the way Hawes and JT play together. Trade both of them for someone, anyone, get them out, someone that wants the playing time to do something on a consistent basis.
From what I have heard of Armstrong, he is a shot blocker. Even if he doesn't see ANY game time could be great for Tyreke. A body he has to worry about during practice. I think Tyreke is adjusting still to the shot blockers in the NBA.
*I do know that he had a knock on him of not being able to finish at the rim in college*
COY would be silly in this situation. The easiest coaching job to take (relatively speaking) is coaching the worst team of the previous season. The only direction the team can go is up and the coach can take credit for it, get a raise, etc... Why do you think Bill Purcell wanted to coach the Dolphins. Its much easier to improve the worst team than to keep the best team in their place.
i was saying Casspi was playing well because of his defense on Andre, not because of his shooting.
I just don't agree with his rotations.
Bill PARCELLS, and he is not the coach he is the Dolphins GM. Get your facts straight. And the team had 17 wins last season, which is hardly the lowest win total in basketball history. Your argument has no merit, and it is weak and uninspired.
