I heard very recently that the Blazers had the youngest “Player Rotation” in the league.

we had so many older players on our roster that barely played last year… i’d love to have seen how we matched up to the other two youngest teams in league history, based on actual playing time.

I didnt think you guys should be ‘punished’ because of Raef, and we were be being ‘rewarded’ because Nellie has a bunch of rooks and soph’s at the end of the bench getting dnp-cd’s(including a guy named Anthony Morrow, that you guys might remeber : ) )

Dont you think you should change your sig since the guy died?

My full post on GSOM actually has the breakdown of total playing time, you guys have nobody over 25 on your rotation other than Blake and Pryzibilla… If Oden can prove to be healthy, you guys are going to dominate for a long time(as you guys already know)….

you ever get like….data overload and burnout fall over and start twitching?

well…that’s what your posts did to me…TWICE!!!

I liked em..but couldn’t digest them enough to comment.

respect for ya though ya know? :)

I wish I had seen that data before.
I was tempted to create a rotational age. As a Warriors fan, CJ Watson numbers are inflated due to Moped, I mean Monta’s accident. As our some of our other bench players, its just to hard to adjust all the numbers to get a solid rotational number in mid season.

but over the last 17 years we made the playoffs once, as an 8th seed. If I stuck around for that nonsense, might as well stick it out for the long haul.
The 2000-2001 GS Warriors team is extremely scary(not in the good, in a way that you look at the roster and say ‘My God, that was an NBA roster.’ http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/GSW/2001.html

A case could be made that having a couple vets who don’t play much still adds experience on handling road trips, etc. But in general, I think you are looking at it the right way.

I totally agree and that would make the Grizz and the Blazers even younger. In your rotation the only guys you feature over 24 are Steve Blake(28) and Pryzibilla(29). They arent that old and solid contributors, but in the big scheme of things replacable if need be. The Grizz top 7 players are under 26,and the end of the bench is filled by vets Jaric, Buckner, Ross, and Miles(am I allowed to mention that guy here?) Thats the right way to do it, a young core with some solid vets to help the maturation process.

there is a great thing about being a passionate fan of your team. I’m currently displaced in Boise for school, and over heard 2 guys at a bar talking about how good LaMarcus Aldrigde is, and for fun I went over to them to tell them that I thought he was over rated and if given the chance Brandan Wright would be the better player. It was a nice little debate and a good time.

In my book, as long as you dont root for a particular team in LA, you ok in my book. Though Jazz fans get on my nerves too…

I would say you guys are number 2 behind the Grizzlies, barely. But you guys are making the playoff with home court and the Grizz are headed to the lottery(again) so I think you guys can live with that.
