This is the Lee I've grown to appreciate over the years. Posting rotations that God himself can not even follow. Just Jokin' Lee keep the rotations coming, I've got a few I'm trying to configure myself.

Lee's last post shows the truth. It has finally come out.

Lee is a closet student of Flip's coaching methods. LOL

Saunders has used 12 different starting lineups this season and bewildered his players at times with his substitution patterns,

ESPN - Timberwolves replace Saunders with McHale - NBA

In fact as you just pointed out Lee can even confuse the gods not just his players.

Our bench would feature Rip playing the point some along with Tay who would be running the offense. Stuckey would be a fourth gaurd while Mejia and Afflalo would see no time at all.

Rip can't play the point. He's a poor passer and a weak decision-maker. The guy is a great basketball player, but he's no Lindsey Hunter.

Rip played some PG at UConn.

Have you seen Rip try to pass off the dribble in the open court?

Rip is the only player that can find Tay on the alley oop. I can't recall CB making that play that often or at all... which explains why it only happens every other game...

Also seems like Rip had a a short stretch during the 05-06 sixty-four win season where he was averging 6-7 dimes a game and we were winning them...

Everytime when Rip dribbles at front court, I fliped the remote or tried to remove my sight cuz I knew it could be ugly.

Gee Bill, I just said, Tay would would be running the offense. That means Tay would be running the point, not Rip. On defense, Rip would be defending the point, something he does better than anyone else on our team.

A happy medium. Billups, Rip, Tay, JMAX, and Sheed start.

Dyess is the primary backup for Sheed and JMAX, but Samb plays a bit of center too. If Sheed and JMAX each play 30 minutes per game, then Samb and Dyess have to play 36 minutes total. Dyess would do maybe 28 minutes worth, leaving only about 8 minutes for Samb.

Amir is Tay's backup. Amir plays 24 minutes a game. Tay plays 24 minutes at small forward and 6 minutes at shooting guard.

Rip plays 30 minutes. With Tay playing 6 minutes at shooting guard, it leaves just 12 minutes for Afflalo or Mejia to play at shooting guard.

Billups plays 30 minutes. Stuckey plays the other 18 minutes of point.
