Where would you spend the mins?

Norm obviously can't figure it out, as was displayed but his now famous 12 player rotation in 8.5 mins. Lets see what you think


25 Boothe
              20 Hardy 15 Mase
20 Paris

35 Dj       5 Mase or JB2

30 JB
              20 Evans 15 JB2
15 Coker

strong d on the starting 5, hopefully bringing evans off the bench will spark him, hardy is instant offense, jb2 will be in just long enough to do some good without his poor decision making taking over.

if we are going to keep winning, we have to get a forward going. The obvious choice is JB, but evans has shown a spark at times. the revolving door at forward has to stop, so rob thomas gets the snub.

Just looked at the boxscore again.

ELEVEN players played 10 minutes or more yesterday.  He really has to keep his rotation down to 8 or 9 players and let them get into a groove.

Boothe - 20
Hardy - 30
Kennedy - 30
Brownlee - 20
Burrell - 25

Horne - 20
Mason - 15
Evans - 20
Coker - 10

Lawrence/Stith 10 combined

Rob Thomas - sprinkle minutes from big man who isnt performing randomly

Take mins away from Horne/Boothe/Kennedy for Mason if he improves.

Boothe 28
Hardy 35
Mason 30
Kennedy 35
Burrell 30

those are my top 5 players.
boothe makes it because no one else can handle the ball.

The rest should be determined by how well they play their game.
For example, Evans playing the role of ball hog. Not his game. Evans backing his man and scoring off the glass. That's his game.

Brownlee has got to get back to what he does best rebound, and push the ball. It would be great if he had an interest, or the awareness to give it up and then.

Lawrence is rough around the edges, but he looks like can improve.

Stith is lost.

Coker has to have better awareness of who he's guarding.
That dunk by Gates was embarrassing.

Horne is the biggest disappointment. He has no offensive feel for the game.
I'd like to see him keep taking it strong, but he needs to consider the other guys, as well. Stop trying to split the triple team.

Thomas has been getting bashed here, but with 2 minutes, I don't know what it's fair to expect. I think he's a much smarter player than Sean Evans. His touch, and polish inside is further along.

Evans isn't in there for his d. So if he's not scoring, why is starting?

Boothe - 20
Hardy - 30
Kennedy - 30
Brownlee - 20
Burrell - 25

Horne - 20
Mason - 15
Evans - 20
Coker - 10

Lawrence/Stith 10 combined

Rob Thomas - sprinkle minutes from big man who isnt performing randomly

Take mins away from Horne/Boothe/Kennedy for Mason if he improves.

I'd sign up for this.  In addition, I'd also script the first three plays of the game to go to a Kennedy drive (double screen?) a JB ISO down low, and a Hardy option.  Get all three involved early, because we've never had a game with all three involved in both halves.

Norm needs to have a rotation down to 8 or 9 guys.  He had no clue out there last night as to what he wants to do.  I understand Mase hasn't played in a year and a half, but he needed to have a plan coming in on what to do with him.  Omari and Stith should be the guys with their minutes cut IMO.
