A routine they can expect every game,
except
play for a week and sit for a week...

That sounds like a 15 man rotation so to speak.

'Trying to sort all that out now...it's very difficult.'

Good luck coach!

Wouldn't be surprised if it is still being "sorted out" after 82 games...

One of Nocioni's friends is quoted as saying he'll be "crushed" if he's
not starting going into a contract year. I was surprised to read it as I
can't think of a player that would laugh at something like that other
than Noch.

Was that "friend" Jamal Crawford?

Im not borrowing trouble at this point but I just
don't see how this works right now. Skiles
is a disciplined half court kinda guy and I don't
see how that is compatible with a 10 or 12 deep
rotation. You'd think a team that deep would be
a run and gun group that would be all assholes and
elbows for 48 minutes. If he is willing to alter his
style to that extent then great but I don't think thats
going to happen.

“What I like about our team is we have a lot of different guys who can
do different things,” Brown said. “Coach can put any kind of lineup in
there to be effective. I think he can mix and match any way he wants
to, and I think we’re going to be successful.”
I tend to see this Bulls team as a very difficult situation for a
coach, and will be impressed if Skiles can deal with it successfully. I
agree that a super deep rotation implies a lot of running...and that
isn't necessarily what one expects from a Skiles team. However Bulls
"pace" of play was relatively high last season, iirc. Someone correct
me if I've got that wrong.

Skiles could let the D be even more intense, and let the team run off
turnovers and rebounds...and take a fast break shot if it's there...
without necessarily turning the offense into shoot in the first five or
six seconds of the shot clock ala Suns...

guess we'll see...
