should the 36ers go with a young(ish) starting 5

Just thinking, i wouldnt mind the 36ers going young with there starting 5 and give plenty of minutes to this line up

Motum
Anthony
Creek
Teys
Gibson

All under 30, a pretty good blend of playing style and talents aswell, and potentially one of our better defensive line ups too.

Make Gibson and Motum the focal points, tell Gibbo to play like he did v NZ, and the other 3 work hard on both ends and do alot of grunt work, which suits them pretty well imo.

If we are going to not be in contention for the title we may as well pump minutes into these guys imo. I also think that could prove to be one of our better line ups and help us win more too.

Wilson, Petrie, Schenscher around 15-20 minutes off the bench, and let them earn there spot in the starting 5, with solid, team play at both ends. Also help Petrie and Schenscher get through the season with there injury niggles.

Use Crawford as Creeks back up, have them play all the SF mins between them.

agree, less time for "the ball hogger" Wilson.
all for individuals but that aint a makeup of a team. One player taking all shots n possible shots.

Go with the younger, yet it wont happen.

Isn't it funny how as soon as we get on a mini losing streak everyone gets on the "Sack Joey" train

You guys better watch out, cause if the gong put a few more wins together you could be fighting out for the spoon...again

Formosa..

"Smokin is stuck in his ways of "tried n reliable" n anyone from the blaze, gets the nod"

a) If its reliable, why not use it?

b) Wilson is not from the Blaze.

Should the 36ers be looking to get more shots for Crawford, he looks more confident in the past couple of games and if he can average 10 off the bench per game for the rest of the season then he could be the vital cog missing from this team.... And think and all the rebounding you have inside for when he does miss.

I may be missing the mark and PC may be past it but I think he is an unused asset so far!

formosa - there are 3 former Blaze players in the current 36ers team. 2 of them are in the youngish line-up - Gibson and Teys. the third is Petrie.I'm not sure what your issue is with those 3 players' use by the coach?
