Same starting 5 as last game

[#UnleashJosh]

Who starts doesn't matter. But I also said it can be an effective motivational tactic. Motivating players mattas. Starting no matta.

I disagree completely. The first 5-7 minutes of the game are important. With the old starting 5 I always thought we had to wait 6 minutes to get our scorers like Rowsey and Reinhardt in. In those first 5 minutes the tone was set for the other team. While Marquette usually was slow out of the gate. In the past two games our starting 5 has set a tone for intensity and jumped into big leads in both games. That matters.

Right on, some minutes are more important than others.  All important minutes are not always in the Closing minutes.

All minutes equally matta. That's why starting no matta.

Agreed.

100% right on.

If what you are saying is that a certain unit starting together matters, then yes I agree with you.

If you are saying that a certain player starting matters, then no.

All minutes equally matta. That's why starting no matta.

And FT no matta.

Fischer is the one guy who hasn't adjusted to coming off the bench.  10 fouls in 23 minutes, although he did some goods things in his short time against SJU.

He did?

The Chemistry within that unit could come from any number depending how it affects the others in that unit, that anyways that's my thoughts.

I explained myself poorly.

When someone says "Player X is playing well and he should start," that is nonsense.  Who starts is about chemistry, balance, motivation...what was mentioned above. 

IOW, the best five players, or even the five hottest players, don't need to start.

I completely agree.
