That would have been the lineup for the month or so Bron and AD both missed. I'm not sure that lineup could win more than a game or two.


I switched around your roster a little to reflect how I think Vogel would have played it. That’s a strong defensive roster. How is this year’s roster that much stronger?

To be clear, I am not buying into the arguments made by some of the other posters. Both rosters were built to support Lebron and Davis, not as insurance against a worst case scenario.

Last years team just simply had no scoring if LBJ and AD went down. Especially with Kuzma being inconsistent. With all the flaws of DS and Trezz, they do provide points, and that wins you some games. Also, rondo in the regular season was so much worse, I don’t think you could count on him.


True, but defense wins some games, too. I don’t doubt that this year’s roster would win more games under identical circumstances. I just don’t think that the difference is as big as the other poster suggested. This year, we won a few games because the opponents were wiped out by injuries, because the opponents had checked out, or because a couple players got red hot. The same would have been true for last year’s roster. There would be a gap, but not a gigantic gap.

If we had identical team as last year we would be out of playoffs right now.

Rondo would break down in the middle of the season if the Lakers gave him Schroder-type minutes.

They would be an 9th-10th seed in the west with davis and bron out.
