Our lineup for blowouts

[saltlover]

I was just thinking about how deep this team is, such that it will even show up in blowouts.  When everyone is healthy, I'd expect Joseph, Melo, and Christmas (assuming he makes the team) to be inactive/in Portland.  That would make the following 12 players active:

PG: Rondo/Terry/Dooling
SG: Bradley/Lee
SF: Pierce/Green
PF: Bass/Sullinger
C: KG/Wilcox/Collins

With those players active, we could see a blowout lineup of:

PG: Dooling
SG: Lee (or Bradley, but he seems more injury prone)
SF: Green
PF: Sullinger (or Wilcox, but I think the rookie gets to play in a blowout)
C: Collins

Never again will I worry about us holding a large lead at the end of the game, and we might now be able to put pressure on the opposing team should we be on the wrong end of one of those scores.

I agree, with one exception. Bradley is young and still learning. Even though he's already good, I put him in the Sullinger-Green group. I'd put him in for blowouts over Lee.

I'm pretty sure they've changed the active roster size to 13.

I'm pretty sure they've changed the active roster size to 13.

I believe that was only for last season, since they condensed the schedule post-lockout.

EDIT:  Apparently they made that a permanent decision during the season.  Good call NBA competition committee.
