narrowing down the rotation

That looks good to me, but when is Aaron Gray coming back?

i realize we will have to play another big, but i would like to avoid it unless there is foul trouble. smith hesitates, and never seems to know where we are in the shot clock. pops just cant seem to get his foot in the door. grey is still such a mystery.

playing oka 40 mins a night would def break him down.maybe another available big down the line?son

3 guards on the second team??

You will see an improved bayless not turning the ball over on Wednesday since he has had a chance to practice and prepare

He looked bad in his first couple games, but I will withhold judgment until he gets a couple of weeks within the organization. I think he'll turn it around.

It didn't take Thornton long to bust out of his preseason slump. He'll be a solid contributor all year and will be counted on to score.

I'm not sure what to think of Green yet. So much negativity was around him before the season started, but I can see him being a solid bench contributor.

I think Smith will improve as well. He struggled so far, but we'll need his seven feet to come off the bench.

Not impressed with Mbenga, never was. Hopefully he'll provide us with some defense and not turn the ball over or foul too much.

I wanna see Pops break out, but it may be a pipe dream. I think we'll at least get a couple of highlight oops out of him.

Peja - gone. If not, hopefully he'll come in, hit some threes, and head back to the bench.

but i am a fan of the 8-9 man rotation (at least for the hard games).

I don't know for sure about Monty, but a lot of coaches like to employ a little more flexibility until the playoffs. With this team still finding itself, I'm thinking we'll be seeing 10 players get some time most nights.

Remember, Monty is a Popovich system guy. Pop uses many guys and many rotations until the second half where he starts to get into a set rotation.
