I was thinking about what turned us from a team that was tough but still barely a playoff team into the team that carried the best regular season record in consecutive seasons
2009-10 Lineup: Rose/Flip Murray Hinrich/Salmons Deng/Salmons Taj Gibson/Tyrus/Hakim Warrick Joakim Noah/Brad Miller Coach Vinny Del Negro 2010-2011 Lineup: Rose/Watson Bogans/Brewer/Korver Deng/nobody Carlos Boozer/Taj Gibson/Kurt Thomas Joakim Noah/Omer Asik/Kurt Thomas Coach Tom Thibodeau 2011-2012 Lineup: Rose/Watson/JL3 Hamilton/Brewer/Korver Deng/Korver/Butler Carlos Boozer/Taj Gibson Joakim Noah/Omer Asik Coach Tom Thibodeau Okay so looking at the big change in wins from 2009-10 to 2010-11, what is responsible? -Rose gets better (but let's remember he was DAMN good before) -Tom Thibodeau becomes coach -Carlos Boozer in at PF -The 2 guard position shuffles, not clear if improved, probably got worse IMO -Other players progress marginally -Bench improves somewhat by moving Gibson there, inserting Omer, Korver, Brewer Minor changes this season: -Rose same or worse (tough to say with sample size) -2 guard position improves -Bench more or less unchanged -Deng regresses due to injury So next season? -Rose is unknown, one can think that when he returns he could at least be at 2009-10 level -2 guard is not changed significantly, Rip gets older but Hinrich provides nice depth in the Brewer-ish role and still scores -PG depth improves significantly -Frontcourt unchanged if Omer returns, TBD if Omer leaves -Play from Deng likely to improve if healthy other questions remain |
