Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle recently took aside three players riding the
playing-time roller coaster to try to clear some things up. Not all was
cleared up.
"He basically told us we're all playing well," backup power forward Brandon
Bass, one of the chosen three, said, "but he didn't know how the rotation was
going to go."
The other two reserves in that meeting after Tuesday' s shootaround were
center Gana Diop and forward James Singleton. Though Bass, Diop and Singleton
are not the only ones unsure of their status from game to game, this trio has
seen its minutes fluctuate wildly.
"It's hard," Bass admitted. "You just have to be mentally tough."
All three have registered DNP-CDs. All three also have played major minutes.
The inconsistency in playing time has been difficult to deal with at times,
especially for Diop and Bass. They came into the season expecting to be key
components of a nightly rotation. Bass was Dallas' most consistent frontcourt
scorer off the bench last season and perhaps its best player in the
first-round playoff loss to New Orleans. Diop, a part-time starter during his
first stint with the Mavericks, returned to Big D after signing a five-year
deal for $32 million.
Bass has logged at least 30 minutes twice this season, but he's also seen
games in which he hasn't played until the fourth quarter. Diop recently had a
stretch of nine consecutive games with fewer than 10 minutes of playing time.
He played at least 20 minutes in five of the first nine games. Singleton was
benched for an entire game after starting three straight in late December.
"You're human," Diop said of how he deals with the uncertainty. "But you
can't stay mad all season. You have to stay ready."
Diop and Singleton got into a game against Minnesota in the first quarter
Tuesday night. Bass was on the floor to start the second. It could be a
coincidence that their early appearances coincided with Carlisle's talk. None
of them played more than Diop's 11 1/2 minutes.
Mavs guard Jason Terry recently called Carlisle a "mad scientist," evoking
memories of former Dallas coach Don Nelson's methods. Several players were
surprised by Carlisle's latest move -- starting Antoine Wright at shooting
guard against the Timberwolves. Wright played only 21 minutes in the three
previous games and never saw the court in six games before that.
Demonstrating that roles can change within games, Wright wasn't on the floor
to start the third quarter Tuesday. Terry opened in the backcourt with Jason
Kidd instead. (To be fair, Tuesday may not have been a good barometer:
Carlisle was ejected in the second quarter and the Mavs were down by 22
points at the half.)
And it remains unclear, at least for one of the three in the pregame meeting,
whether Carlisle wants to eventually establish a firm rotation of perhaps
eight or nine players.
"I don't know if that's what he wants, but that's what I want," Bass said
without sounding frustrated. "I know it's easier for the starters to prepare
for the games because they know their roles. The rest of us just have to
stick with it."
大意就是說卡帥現在在實驗各種的替補陣容
Diop Bass Singleton等人有時上場很多有時卻又很少
文中還提到Wright前三場比賽總共只上了21分鐘 更前六場甚至inactive
今天卻能夠擔任先發的腳色
相對的之前愛滿滿的George上一場被凍結這場也沒幾分鐘
下半場的調度也說不準畢竟今天卡帥早早就掰了
不過上場時間不固定讓這些年輕小夥子只得隨時準備
卡帥你趕快找出好的調度啦
每次看比賽都很摸不著頭緒...
