Oats points to UK’s nuclear five.
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Gee ya think ? We have only been saying forever to play Reed, Dilly and Reeves together all year and this stupid coach of ours refuses
Edwards
Z
Dilly
Shep
Reeves
I’m guessing are the Nuclear Five

As a player and competitor I'd be embarrassed to the opposiote of a victory cigar , getting the hook after 2-3 minutes , Just play ( START ) the right people . Is it really hard ?
duly noted, now go have some milk and cookies
Edwards playing the 4 and playing the way he has lately is a big deal for this team. He is playing excellent D and allows us to confidently switch 1-4.
Someone should go back in time to 2012. And rename the 2012 team that.
I always like the Death lineup for GSW, we have the same thing.
I think you have to Thiero / Z in that group. Z just has a way of demoralizing the opponent.
You could make a valid argument for interchanging Thiero for Dilly or Shep, but Wagner and Bradshaw need to be the last off the bench.
It’s makes me want to puke that Cal hasn’t played Z more, yea he has his warts but anyone can see he is out best option at the 5
Oats is right, of course, but this is also him trolling Cal.

The entire country can see the obvious. Except for the one that makes the starting lineup.
Edwards will be voted off the island quick next poor game he has.
Edwards greatly improved. Not sure he's earned it over Thiero but I wouldn't argue if this was the core group
Oates is a Benny, who knew.

It’s really quite simple using that nuclear symbol graphic.
The 3 guards on the bottom are the core group and should play together as much as possible. Wagner offers backup/breather minutes.
The upper left Forward needs to be a rotation of Thiero, Mitchell, and Edwards (especially if he plays anything like he did today). Basically go with whoever is playing the best since these 3 seem to wax and wane.
The upper right Center position needs to be majority Ugo/Z with Bradshaw giving backup minutes for foul trouble.
That’s basically a core group of 8 with 2 others filling in off the bench.

Pretty much. Go with defense/toughness wth Adou and Ugo when needed. Use Wagner to keep the guards fresh, play Z when we need to score.
JFC everybody in the country including our opponent's coaches knows which lineup we should be running. Except for Cal.
Edward’s obviously had an abnormally fantastic game, but is trending up. If he can continue improvement and thiero continues being thiero, that is a great combo. Get Mitchell back and rotate with z. Wagner has hit a slump but will turn it around.
Am I being too optimistic? Maybe but today was pretty exciting.

Starting lineup next game, DJ, Reeves, Theiro, Edwards and Ugo. Book it. Cal is as pig headed as they come.
I get that Cal bashing but can we have one night to enjoy a great win. This is coming from me of all posters
I'm happy, but at this point I just have seen the movie too many times. Do you think they'll be a different starting lineup next game?
Not unless someone gets injured this week. The start of the second half of todays game is proof.
Cal likes to flex that he’s in charge.
It's called stubbornness and it hasn't served us well for along long time.
Oats is way too analytical for my liking as a coach. He's a great coach but listening to him throw around efficiency numbers on every aspect of the game is a lot. At some point the old school way of hands on coaching should take over
Personally I want Thiero in. We have to have his aggression and energy out there.
My five;
Dilly
Shep
Reeves
Thiero
Z
The five will be fluid the rest of the season unless Z can prove himself defensively.
