    In person, Cacok stood out. He was super active in challenging shots, cutting off drives and a few Warriors players tried to body him up to push him under the basket. Cacok didn’t move. He was playing against scrubs, but he looked really good against them.

    I like him a lot Barnstable. We could use a strong backup PF like him just in case.

    He seems to have a really good motor and hustles, between the China game and this game, he's shown me enough to keep around. Keep him on the JV squad and call him up when we need him.

    How would Cacok compare to Williams from last year?

    f*** China and those international shenanigans ...Bron’s got bigger issues to tackle closer to home. After seeing what happened Sunday, Bron is trying to find a solution to help the local team. Sound the horn...

    EDIT: So shook, they shook that roster up

    Looks like this will be our starting lineup opening night unless something unforeseen comes up.

    Thank the effing lord. I was getting VERY worried about Rondo starting and playing so damn much.

    This is the lineup I wanted to see anyway - Bradley, Green, LeBron, AD, McGee. Good enough spacing too for everyone and either Bradley or Green are going to be open every time. Fire away. Great job by Vogel at recognizing this too. Even when Kuzma returns, I expect this to remain as our starting lineup.

    It's been so long since we had shooters who could actually shoot. Last night was a thing of beauty. Hell, even KCP was knocking them down. I have gotten used to cringing when a 3 went in the air. It's going to take awhile to expect them to go in.

    And the big rotation... barring injuries and excessive foul trouble, they're going to steamroll the league.
    If you look at our Cs as a single stat line, it'll rival any all star center in the league-- 25 and 13 in 33 minutes (I imagine they'll hover around low 40 mpg total). Factor in AD at C for 5-8 minutes a night for a AD/BRON/KUZ/GREEN and Bradley, Rondo, or Cook lineup; everyone at the C spot stays fresh, healthy, happy, and dominant.

    FINALLY!!!! We suffered the nonsense of Mike Brown, the arbitrariness of Byron Scott and the head scratching lineups of Walton. The last coach with any semblance of logic in terms of lineups that worked was Bernie Bickerstaff.

    Caruso isn't starting?

    Obviously internet popularity plays no part in this decision.

    ALso - love the staggering from our coaching staff. That's the way we need to play all year - don't need to put ALL 5 bench guys in at the same exact time.

    This will only get better when Kuzma returns

    Agreed. But I am more confident in a second string rotation we can put out there this year over any 2nd string rotation we trotted out there last year
    Dwight
    Kuz
    KCP
    Cook
    Rondo

    If you need more size, insert Dudz. If KCP or Cook are off, put Daniels in.

    I agree with you on that - we can run out an all bench lineup if we want to - would be good to preserve LeBron/AD and jump out to BIG leads that our bench created. We can go Dwight, Dudz, Kuz, KCP, Rondo or Dwight Kuz KCP Cook Rondo and with injuries, we'll be fine at the guard spot since Caruso Cook Rondo Bradley Daniels KCP are all sort of similar in terms of skillset so we don't really miss anyone if they go down...it's just next man up.
