ADJ: Start KO and Rozier on Schroder

[Jon]

There is a zero percent chance Rozier starts in the playoffs unless Bradley, Thomas, and Smart all get injured in practice this week.  He didn't even play last night. 

I think the far more likely scenario is that Stevens tightens the rotations even more and Rozier doesn't sniff the floor the entire playoffs except in the case of a blowout.

Anyone here thinks Holland will get some burn?

Unless we are behind with a lot of points then no.

Stevens is going to shorten rotations, not expand them.

Pretty sure Crowder will be on Milsap.

If Sullinger gets torched it will be by Horford  IMO.

I expect we will see alot of small ball lineups with Crowder on Milsap this series.

IT
AB
Smart
Crowder
KO

or

Smart
AB
Turner
Crowder
KO

will likely be the best lineups vs ATL. Key will be team rebounding and Crowder keeping a body on Milsap.

side note: I think this series will highlight the Cs need to go out and really find a physical 3-D 3/4 to backup Crowder this offseason.

Last game Stevens started Thomas, Bradley, Smart, Crowder and Amir in the 2nd half. That lineup played great but then at the end of the game the guards seemed worn down.

While I don't think Rozier should play over Smart, I do think our best chance against Atlanta is going small, so I think playing Rozier extended minutes in the 2nd unit in order to play small more often makes sense.

I would like to see Amir and Olynyk get some time together I think they are the big man combo best suited to guard Millsap and Horford (besides Amir and Crowder)

Agreed, Sullinger  only logged 11 minutes in the last matchup and Amir was on Horford. Jerebko is okay on Milsap in short stretches but wouldn't want him for the long haul. We can put smart or turner on bazemore and schroeder.

I won't disagree that Rozier will be needed at some point especially if this series gets into a 6th or 7th game but I think he will be more of a fatigue/foul trouble contingency plan.

Wonder how much he will demand in the summer if this keeps up

I think he will ask for a lot of money but I could be wrong.   I can see him trying to sign with CLE.
