A conversation we were having in the Jrue/Tyreke thread got me looking at our rotations and minutes this year.

Holiday, Gordon, Evans, Anderson, and Davis were on the court 12 games together this year.

If you count games that Davis, Anderson, and Gordon left early due to injury, that group played 9 full games together this year.

If you count Jason Smith's injury, the core group played 7 "healthy" games together all year.

If we count Greg Steimsma's injury right before Ryan Anderson made his season debut, the full team never played a game together this season.

Granted, Steimsma probably shouldn't be count as an NBA player, but you get the point.

Basically, the contributing roster played 7 full games together this season.

Those games were the stretch from November 16-29. And December 18 at the Clippers.

Top 5 played 14 games together, finishing with a 9-5 record (.643%). You're dumb to act like Stiemsma was a "crucial" part of team's core. But when our "finishing five" were in the team didn't suck. Jason smith injury was huge in its own right though. Killed any chance of recovery and helped sink this season quicker than we'd have liked

Yeah a of people dont realize this.

Our best player is AD, and he played like a star this year. But, after that its Holiday, then Anderson. I dont care what team it is, if you lose 2 of your top 3 players for more than half the season it wont be a good season.
