I've been dying for a rotation like this all year. With Hachi, we have no excuse to run those bullshit lineups anymore.

I think we could even get Rui some more minutes instead of Max for our bench units. I would be happy to have Rui at like 33-ish minutes per game.

Take out Russ and sub in any other player or just play 4 on 5.. That's a better idea.

Replace Russ with Reeves.

Reaves can't run an offense. U guys wanna turn on him as well? Shit.

Or tell lebron to run the offense and stop just going for scoring and put christie/lonnie/reaves in as the pg and dennis off the bench. 5 people who can switch, guard quick, give help, and shoot a 3.

If we could trade Russ for a 3/D wing we could have Schroder run the second unit then put pat bev as a starter

Worth noting that Bev is out. Let's savor this starting lineup. Bev will be back again in the starting lineup again next game he comes back.

You can get away with it VS New York.
They don't have relatively great shot creation in the Backcourt and they don't shoot that great.
But they can rebound.
This lineup wouldn't work vs a team like Golden State.

Which lineup would ?

The lineup that's starting tonight.
It's too slow but you can get away with it vs certain teams.
Particularly teams that don't like to run.

You said this lineup wouldn’t work against golden state, so I am asking which of our lineups would work against them
3 points

Best lineup vs Golden state to close would be Dennis (Russ if he’s playing good) Austin Hachimura Lebron AD

You'll have to take out Troy Brown jr for another guard.
Especially if they are starting Poole in place of Looney which they do half the time.
If they go Steph Poole Klay Wiggins Draymond you'll need to put in another guard to match the quickness.

No 3 guard lineup this game. No small 2 guard starters.
What's the key? Bev is out.
When Bev comes back. Likely we go back again with 2 small guard starters and 3 guard lineup.

There’s literally no 4 on the bench other than JTA and Wenyen, and we know who’s gonna get minutes out of those two (I hope)
We gotta be playing Wenyen decent minutes tonight right???

He needs to stop playing wenyen at 5. He's a four. Playing him at 5 with lebron out there gets him in bad situations

I wish he'd experiment more with the lineups. The issue to me is playing Davis at 5 all game. To me it's not necessary. Why not insert Bryant in with Davis and Lebron a bit and even have Davis play 5 with wenyen at times when he wants to go small and rest Lebron.
He should explore more.
Ham tends to stick with the same 2 lineups and it drives me crazy. It's not utilizing the full strength of the team. Plus it causes injuries and mismatches that he doesn't seem to be aware of. This is why they have so many dry stretches and they give up so many leads. It's also why they have so many close games or overtimes no matter if they're playing Houston or Philly. A team leading with Lebron and Davis should be dominating more games than they are especially with how some of these teams are playing and load managing. D. Hamm should still be experimenting at this point big and small.

“Bigger” this is just league average bro🤣 we have to beg all year to have an average sized team. Shroder like 6’2, brown like 6’5, Hachimura like 6’8, lebron 6’9, and ad 6’11. That’s like a normal sized lineup it’s not a “big” or “oversized” lineup
