Friday at Toronto
Sunday vs NY
Monday at Milwaukee
Wednesday vs Washington

Essentially, our next 4 games are meaningless. We have nothing left to play for.

Our #1 goal should be to head into the playoffs healthy
#2 should be to keep the starters in a decent groove
#3 should be to give Dale Davis and Delfino some burn
#4 should be to let the rooks play and get experience.

Obviously we can't afford to just de-activate the starters all four games. They should play at least 2 quarters worth every game until the last game, and then that game we can afford to rest them all.

Delfino and Davis should be getting 20 minutes MINIMUM. We have nothing left to lose, so just keep playing them until they get into a rythem, regardless.

I'd hope Amir and Alex would get to play at least the final two games. They deserve it for busting their ass in the NBDL.

I'd also like to see Cato get some minutes. He's going to be on our playoff roster, so he may as well get used to being on the floor......

If I remember correctly, the NBDL regular season is finished. So hopefully Flip will activate Amir and Acker and give them some PT over the last 4 games.

It would be fun to see the starters become the bench and the bench to become starters for one of these games.
Imagine our bench fighting tooth and nail with one of these teams, an even game or us down by a few... then all of a sudden halfway through the third, our entire starting 5 steps onto the floor. the other team would start shitting bricks [smilie=arrgh.jpg]

well, to activate them, he has to de-activate someone.

Cato is one thing, but who else do you de-activate? we need to keep our rotation players in a good groove for the next 2 games at a minimum.

Also, we shouldnt mess with the starters as a group. Start them all, let them keep playing together, and then at the end of the season just de-activate them all. No reason to be playing them off the bench, or using them in combination with Amir or Acker. Nothing good can come of that.

De-activate one starter per game.

Let Chauncey sit for a game and play Acker, Delk and Hunter in his place. Same for Rip.

Let Prince sit for another game and play Delfino, Johnson and Maxiell in his place.

Do the same thing with the Wallace's and Dyess and replace them with Davis, Cato and Maxiell.

It will be very interesting the last two games when we play Washignton and Milwaukee, two teams playing for their playoff lives.

How humiliating would it be to beat them with our bench.......
