From the creators of "Autobid Feature"...

Comes "Best Lineup for 48 Mins".

Tired of your lowly benchwarmers blowing your huge leads in the 4th quarter?

Tired of watching Hollis Thopmson, Miroslav Raduljica or Kendrick Perkins entering the game when there´s no need to?

Want to decide if your starters are playing quality minutes like Durant Lebron or Kevin Love?

Best lineup for 48 mins is right for you!

This feature will allow you to choose from the Set Lineup page if you want to use your usual rotation during +20 leads in the fourth quarter or the traditional "don´t kill my game shape when trashing rivals" option, without having to empty your roster for the game, avoiding unpleasnt surprises with injuries and foul out situations.

If a ton of your regular players are ejected/injured/whatever, then YES, Kendrick Perkins will be allowed to enter to "aid" your ailing team.

A good feature for teams in need of basket average on specific situation or playoffs games (NT also!) without sacrificing the normal 12 players squad posibility.

Poll:  Do you like this idea?

You bet
Nope
Meh, just let the benchwarmers make it a new game.

Well I kind of like things the way they are atm, managing minutes for good game shape is one of the hardest and most challenging things in this game, and I wouldnt like to see it simplified too much... Of course only my opinion, and I probably am not the right person to discuss this because I play 99% of my games with max 7 players, but still, I believe that it will kill one of the most important, and most amusing game aspects for me:)

And one more thing: What do you have against Kendrick Perkins?!? Ofc he isnt the best center in the world, but putting his name in the same sentence with Thompson or Raduljica is just not right:D

The idea of this proposal is to have you full squad at disposal while playing your starters on +20 situations.

It´s not intended to manage efficiently game shape, on the contrary, this option would provoke worst game shapes but you decide ultimately if you need the basket average or don´t want to risk the rare case when you lose a +20 lead game (rarely happens but this would help to reduce its risk).

Also NT would benefit from this option.

PD: Mmm maybe he´s not that bad but it´s still debatable. Not an OKC fan but I would play Adams/Collison before always. Never seen an NBA player jumping like he was 60 years old.

I dont know why would you want to play with your starters when you are leading by 20-30, unless you need them to have 48 mins for GS(you certainly dont want some of your star players to get injured in last minutes of a game that you are leading by 20 points)... It is maybe because I had never lost a game in which I was leading with big margin, but in my opinion if your reserves can lose 20-30 points you should rather consider buying better reserves, than supporting this suggestion...

In NBA today, you have a lot of centers that are really bad in jumping, just like Kendrick. Those are all big and very strong guys, and because of their strength they can make a good position near the basket, and compensate for their lack of athleticism in jumping... Here are just some names popping my mind on this matter: Nikola Pekovic, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph...

1) Basket Average while mantaining 12 players on the roster.
2) Avoid surprises in playoffs games with easy leads.
3) NT games with group standings decided by basket average, where minutes don't count towards game shape.

3. what's the point then in having more than 5 players on an NT?

2. Avoid surprises: It's the playoffs, thats when surprises are SUPPOSED to happen... Case in Point, Did you see the Colorado Avalanche vs Minnesota Wild, NHL (National Hockey League) Playoff game on Thursday? That may have been the biggest surprise/upset/comeback in sports history.

1. Fair point.

The Miracle on Manchester (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_Manchester) would like to have a word or six with you about biggest surprise and comeback, at least in terms of the NHL.

Yep, well played. That is definitely a bigger one, and helps further illustrate upsets/surprises are a part of the playoffs and supposed to be possible.

Yeah, and as a Kings fan, other than that and one nice playoff run that went to pot after an illegal stick call, there was nothing to really look back fondly on until a few years ago. ;) I was kind of surprised you chose the Avalanche game as a major comeback/surprise though - my wife is an Avalanche fan so we enjoyed the way it turned out, but it seemed more like playoff hockey as usual... tight game with pressure packed moments late, and Patrick Roy's team wins. ;)
