Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2095506"] I'm not totally opposed to seeing a 'small' lineup of Battle, Frank, and Gillon in very limited run. When White's not shooting well, I don't think it would hurt our offense and it might help the rebounding since Battle is a better athlete and has a better nose for the ball. The defense up top would suffer a bit with Frank in Battle's place, but we've seen JB play Frank and Gillon together for stretches before. I wrote out a whole breakdown of how the minutes could be distributed and when to sub, but it's simpler than that. Do we trust Howard with about 15 minutes of gametime and can Battle handle SF? If both answers are yes, then JB could easily get White considerably more/better rest by timing his substitutions around the media timeouts. Lydon would still be looking at 40, but we could get White and Gillon down to the low-mid 30's along with Battle, instead of the high 30's or 40. [/QUOTE]
