    What do you guys think of the Klow at 1, Dragic at 2, and Lee at 3 combo? What about putting Patterson at the 5?
    It's been working the past couple of games...ESPECIALLY last night

    It works against teams that won't make the playoffs.

    I think shooting bigs will tear us apart. I think that penetrating guards who can actually score will score at will. I think that having a shot altering large presence patrolling the paint will always be more effective. Yao being a positive defensive contributor despite his not very aggressive defense proves this.

    Not necessarily... Its an up tempo offense
    Do you not remember the 09 playoffs with Lowry and Brooks together at the same time? That was one of Adelman's favorite guard combo

    It's the kind of thing you can go with for stretches and certain matchups. It's also the key to getting a great lottery pick if you had it as your starting lineup every game.

    I think that its a transitioning lineup, going from the starting lineup to the bench or vice versa.
    It all depends on the matchups tho...if they go small, this lineup is ideal

    What's the point? Where's the actual advantage gained? We'd be running a gimmick offense just for the sake of running a gimmick offense.

    Obviously its not a permanent lineup...this is a lineup that stimulates energy and up tempo offense. It only used for small stretches but it has been very effective as of late

    Twolvess had three guards playing. I believe RA said he didnt have a SF to play. So why wouldnt we do three guards especially when they could beat their three. I dont see it happening often only with certain matchups like mentioned above.

    Depends on the match-up.
