I am tired of watching Terry Rozier trying to play the point.

Bring Brown back to the starting unit.

Or sit Rozier and play Wanamaker with the second unit.

It's time to set feelings aside because there're none left to protect.

Start Brown and swap his minute allotment with Morris; actually give Brown big minutes and decrease Rozier's.  Morris would make a good hero ball bench leader while Jaylen is a blossoming starter.

Start Hayward again.

So, opening night lineup: Irving/Brown/Hayward/Tatum/Horford

Yes, I mentioned this in another thread earlier, we need to go back to them.

I'm actually all in for the change and would like to go back to the opening night lineup. Experimenting is done whether or not some people like it. That was the original lineup and Hayward should have enough kicks to get back into starting. It'll be a confidence-booster from there on. Brown has been playing well after his slump a few months back.

Morris and Smart will lead the bench. Maybe leave one starter in while riding four bench players. Closing games put in a good defensive unit.

The time is now.

Couldn't agree more. Hayward out first for one of Smart or Morris, and then bring him in first before the other starters and make him run the point a bit more.

Give Rozier 10 mins
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Maybe elevating Jaylen and Gordon to their "rightful" places as starters might galvanize them to play with more effort as well. Mook has already said he's willing to go back to the bench and Smart has come off the bench most of his career running the 2nd unit.

So much of this team's issues are mental...not happy, not playing with joy, not having fun, not covering for each other, not being together...it's been said by players so many times in so many different interviews. Maybe doing this clears the mental block for some of them.

I wish I had access to stats that showed the lineups on the floor when a run of 10+ points is made against us...I'd be very curious to see who was on the floor when they begin.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I think having Smart out there as a secondary ball-handler and playmaker helps Kyrie a lot (better frees Kyrie up to be himself - a scorer).

I wonder how well Kyrie would adjust (not his strength) without Smart. I like the idea of having either Smart or Hayward alongside Kyrie to give the team that secondary ball-handler.

Then have Wanamaker run the second unit. He is a better shooter and playmaker than Rozier. Rozier is the problem.

Rozier is the reason they got blown out last night?

a part of.

There was once a guy who died from heart failure.
He was a pretty healthy guy, but one day he was in a terrible accident, got run into on the highway head on. He got broken to bits. EMTs brought him to the hospital, tried their best to piece him together but he was in a coma for a couple of weeks.

Then one day is heart stopped, the doctors did all they could, but it was too late, the heart attack had taken his life. Doctors said that all the surgeries and blood loss and broken up insides just broke down his heart.

So while technically, the guy dies from a heart attack, its safe to say that without the car accident, and resulting coma, that he would have never had said heart attack.

Rozier and morris are the car accident and right now the team is in that coma.
