4th 1/4 lineups Greg vs Outlaw

I wouldn't mind trading Outlaws 4th 1/4 heroics for Gregs great 4th 1/4 play which most nights means we don’t need a hero to win.

TBH Joel has no offense & last season Oden couldn't be relied upon to be considered an offensive weapon in the 4th. That's why Outlaw got the 4th quarter minutes & a chance to be a hero

To my mind a line up with Roy LMA Greg and take your pick at point with Blake or Miller and at SF Batum or Webster looks far more intimidating than replacing Greg with TO.

What are your thoughts?

Crunch time lineup:

Roy, Rudy, Travis, Aldridge, Oden

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

mine:

Miller, Roy, Rudy, Aldridge, Oden

perhaps Travis or Martell for Miller depending on whose having a good night

How did you guys win that?

Roy is going to have the ball, so obviously Miller won’t have the ball in his hands. And when Miller doesn’t have the ball, he is useless. Not to mention his complete lack of three point shooting would clog up the middle and shut down the driving lanes for Roy.

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

he’s a smart player who makes good plays, either for himself or others. He has a long history of clutch play down the stretch of games.

If the opponent takes the ball out of Roy’s hands through aggressive early doubling (as we saw a lot of late last year and in the playoffs), I’d rather the ball swing to Andre for him to start the offense rather than to Outlaw.

Miller will be out there.

He’s probably the second best player on the team and almost certainly the smartest basketball wise. Benching him would be silly and probably won’t happen.
