The playoffs are right around the corner, and we have a pretty good idea of who Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich trusts most at this point in the season. If the Spurs want to make a serious run at the title, they need to figure out which individual players are the most productive, and which five-man lineups play best together.
For the purposes of this analysis, we’ll be looking at five-man lineups that have played at least 80 minutes together over the course of the season. Here are those lineups, listed in order of minutes played.
- Parker, Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol (386)
- Parker, Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Dedmon (241)
- Mills, Ginobili, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol (106)
- Parker, Green, Leonard, Lee, Aldridge (86)
- Mills, Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol (86)
- Mills, Ginobili, Leonard, Lee, Aldridge (84)
Unsurprisingly, the two that have played together the most are the main starting lineups that the Spurs have gone with this year.
