The biggest rotation issue we have is that Murphy doesn't need to play. At all. Ever.

A cynic could even argue that he started today specifically to try to make him look bad, because for a guy who supposedly can't play because he can't defend due to a lack of girth is there a worse front court to play against then the lakers? I don't really think that's the case and iv decided that carlisles thinking is he wants to know now if there is any way we can get away with another unathletic big in the game with kaman so he won't have to waste any time experimenting once dirk comes back but the answer is a resounding no and we are hurting ourselves by ignoring that. Also every word carlisle has ever said about earning pt rings hollow when you keep playing Murphy over wright.

Yea, watching RC this season handle what is going on without Dirk has been surprising. He surely can't expect any players to gain any confidence and consistency with his wild ass rotations. I am sure he has a plan and there's so many things behind closed doors that we can't see that plays factor but from the outside looking in, it looks like he has dropped the ball on rotations and minutes more this season than he has in totality as a MAV. It's puzzling how long Brands leash is when he is a new guy here and how short Wrights leash is...rebounding issues or not. Contrations.

The job is definitely much more difficult for RC. Coaching guys like Dirk, Shawn, Tyson, Jet and Kidd is quite easy.

Last 10 games we've gone 4-6. We really can't keep .400 ball going until Dirk returns and hope for a good playoff seed. I really hope we can pick up more of that momentum we started the beginning of the season with.

If we make the playoffs this season was a success

I agree with you, because this draft will be nothing special. I would love to tank for Wiggins though. I know, i know, we don't do that.
