I needed a bit of a summer break, especially because I would write articles and wasn't sure anyone was reading.<br /><br />With coach Spo I really do not know what to expect as far as rotation. I really do not think he can go wrong unless something proves to be inefficient and he sticks to it.<br /><br />I say try everything and see what works best. I don't like keeping one of the Big 3 at all times in all games, because I want the second unit guys to have an identity and some pride in themselves to prove they are not just riding coattails... this could pay dividends in a "15 strong" kinda way.<br /><br />I know that guys like Eddie House (who I know personally from college days) and Carlos Arroyo (who I scouted amateurishly at the Nike Desert Classic for college seniors in my college years) work better when they get responsibility put on their shoulders... Z, UD and Miller are enough fire power for that backcourt duo to manage the game/make a statement in limited stretches. Whenever we bring out that group, teams will try to make their run... and I think they will for the most part hold their own. Allowing all three guys to check in with about 8 minutes to go to shut the thing down.<br /><br />I know Arroyo is not popular with some of you, but I think he really has a role if we deploy a true second unit. He is one of those gritty, get under your skin types - just like Eddie House. They are good backups because of their personalities... at least I feel that way, because my game is a lot like theirs (fiery underdog type who slays dragons here and there).<br /><br />Arroyo has a solid jumper, he just does not have 3 point range. Also, he bores you on offense because he is following coaches orders to protect the ball to a fault, he actually could play really well pushing the ball if they let him loose.Cyrus The Virushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139216579892672302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-46445046428935085612010-08-02T03:17:25.242-04:002010-08-02T03:17:25.242-04:00Cyrus, that will not be your second unit.

And barring foul trouble or a blowout, either Wade or LeBron will be on the floor all 48 minutes of the game.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186246285285423637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-4992695219326269712010-08-01T23:21:26.432-04:002010-08-01T23:21:26.432-04:00This is really, really nice work, Cyrus.

Your stuff is highly intelligent and knowledgeable, yet easily understood by laypeople. I thank you and KKBoy for this blog.<br /><br />And, I can't really add anything to your post, at least not at this moment. Though I am a bit curious about your focus on the first four minutes of the 4th period. I'm thinking that maybe Spoelstra will want the Big 3 to play together for the final six or so minutes of the game, and not worry so much about the first six (or so) minutes of that period. Maybe he'd have the most 'run-n-gun' line-up in to start the period. Just guessin'...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
