The same goes for Herrrrrman. If Flip used him at the 3 and 4, he might have to work to play him. If he uses him solely as a 4 then he is behind too many guys to get PT and it is bad luck that he can't play. Plus he got 35 seconds last night and put up zeroes!

Did you notice that Flip put him in on defense and then subbed Jarvis back in when we got the ball back?

we are now at a point where i'd be comfortable with any of our 15 players on the floor...and i don't think there's another team in the league you could say that about.

I was thinking that too, except I can't really include Lindsey or Samb. They may do well or they may not, but I'd be hesitant to put them in a real game. I know Lindsey won't make a fool of himself, but he gambles on defense, sucks on O, and has a lot of rust right now. Samb could possibly make of a fool of himself or he could block 5 shots. We haven't seen enough to know for sure.
One other thing. This was in reference to Flip Saunders' gameplan:
Quote:
P.J. Carlesimo tried to explain how the Sonics squandered a 15-point lead, but the grease board inside the Detroit Pistons locker room told the story behind Seattle's 100-97 defeat on Tuesday night.
In bold red, the final line on the scouting report read: "Make Ridnour a scorer."

That is why I don't like the concept of having a "pure" point guard who doesn't score. Good teams will cheat off of him and take away the passing. Flip's strategy was very good in this respect and I'm pleased to know that he actually details a strategy for the bench to have success too.
