[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 677451, member: 4289"] We'll have to agree to disagree. Playing your 5 best players for 40 minutes each is not a common strategy for several reasons. Physically it is tough to do. Guys need a rest. A superior player at 80% because he is tired is not a superior player anymore. The more marginal the difference in player ability is, the more true this statement becomes. On a team like ours, without top level talent, there isn't necessarily a lot of separation, talent wise and skill wise, between starters and bench players, so I don't think you will see that much drop off by mixing in bench players strategically. In fact, I think you will see improved productivity by the starters, if they play a few less minutes because they will be fresher and more focused during their time on the court. I am not talking about playing 10 guys even minutes. I am talking about using 3 or 4 bench players to spell 40 minutes or so total so that you top guys are playing 30-35 minutes instead of using 1 or 2 bench players to spell 20 minutes or less while your top guys are playing 40 minutes non-stop. To me, it seems reasonable on a team like ours without any next level talent that absolutely has to be on the court because they provide such an advantage over the opposition. [/QUOTE]
