TanAdam Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Unless you are some eternal optimist, this series is over. You know it, I know, Woody knows it, the players know it. They have mentally checked out of this series and with Joe going down (even though he has had 4 good qtrs this entire playoffs) there is little to no hope. So why not start the second unit. They played without fear, actually showed some heart and backbone and outscored the Cavs (granted it was the second team). It would help to send a message to the first team and would embarrass the hell out of them. Just a thought. What are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimedog Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Series is moving back to Atlanta. Honestly it didn't seem like the guys weren't trying, just that the injuries finally started to catch up when we were playing in the hardest place to win since the 86 Boston Garden.

buckeye242424 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Why would this be retarded? Because he isn't coddling his millionaire athletes that embarrassed themselves and the city? The second round of the playoffs? Playing at home? We haven't been in this position in years and we're going to run out Thomas Gardner, Mario West, Acie Law, Randolph Morris, and Othello Hunter? Naaa, that wouldn't be an embarrassment to the city or francise either...C'mon dude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we're missing 3 starters now, so aren't we just about already starting our second unit? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted May 8, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Bibby, Flip, Evans, Smith, Zaza with Claxton, Law, West, Hunter, Solo off the bench. Wow, we're going to get killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting Hunter. Sad thing is, he's what passes for our chance at a "difference maker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 In the regular season, with the 2 blow outs as our last two games - I'd be all for your idea. It's not like we wouldn't be using the starters at all. They would get their minutes, just not at the beginning of the game. However, this is the playoffs and it would be a very poor move on our part. Can't do it now. No way. Gotta go with who got us here. At least with those players left who are healthy enough to go tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
