Ryan all but totally confirmed that it will be a 10-man rotation once Rose is back. I guess the question to me is whether he starts Rose or Okogie at the 2. I would hope he starts Okogie with that first group and Rose pairs up with Tyus, as I think they go together better than Rose and Teague.

Indeed. Teague and Rose seems like a terrible pairing. I don't think NBA basketballs can withstand that much dribbling within 24 seconds...

I thought they paired together better last year. It hasn't seemed that good this year but how many minutes have they actually played together? The Pace (getting up the floor would be pretty good though with both guys. I think the main thing about a 10 man rotation is keeping Rose's minutes to a more reasonable number. Hell Keeping Teague's minutes down doesn't seem like a bad idea either.

It will be interesting to see what saunders does with rose back in the fold.

Wiggs handled the ball alot and ran alot of pnr. Was that due to circumstances of no rose and teague getting kicked out or was it a focus?

Wiggs should very well be back in the corner with teague and rose playing big minutes together.

They have been together on 635 possessions. They are a +1.4 pts per 100 possessions (57th percentile), when they are on the court together they have one of the best offensive teams in the NBA when they are together 120.8 pts/100 (98th percentile) but they are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA 119.4 pts/100 (2nd percentile)

How many minutes is that? It seems like a chunk of those were before the Butler trade but maybe I am remembering wrong. I mean this is like 3 seasons and we are only halfway through! Lol

Cleaning the glass does possessions not minutes so I am not sure of the 635 possessions only 59 were with Jimmy Butler

I believe Rose and Jones are a +2.8 and Teague and Jones are like a +87.5 (in 4 minutes of action!).

The funny thing is we have very few guys with negative net ratings this year, despite being a game under .500. Butler's was pretty bad though! Ugh, that freakin' start is going cost us...THIBS!!!
