Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue plans to use a 10-man rotation in upcoming playoffs
The 10 are: James, Love, Green, Hill, Nance, Clarkson, Calderon, Hood, Korver, Smith
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said that he will use a 10-man rotation in the upcoming playoffs that will start Sunday against the Pacers.
Per ESPN, You usually go nine," Lue said, describing a typical playoff rotation. "I think we've been nine in the past, but I think it's going to be important to go 10 for us."
Lue, who played only eight players more than 15 minutes per game on average in the Cavs' 2017 postseason run, will open up the playoffs with planned minutes for JR Smith, Larry Nance Jr., Jordan Clarkson and Jose Calderon off the bench, and may add either Rodney Hood or Kyle Korver in that bench group.
The rest of the Cavs' starters will be made up of LeBron James, Kevin Love, Jeff Greenand George Hill.
It would appear, at least to open up the postseason, that Cedi Osman and Tristan Thompson -- who played major roles at times this season -- are on the outside looking in.
