    Put ryno on the bench and start eric or troy. What do you think? The coach should make some adjustments, just like they move Gasol as starter. I dont think the previous lineup starter can beat Spurs

    Should have left him San Antonio. Somehow he just cant make a shot in Toyota Center.

    if his wrist is hurt for the playoffs then obviously he cant shoot anymore, so he's useless as a starter. bring him off the bench.

    WE don't have the power to do anything. Make as many posts as you want, it won't make any difference.

    Start:

    Louis
    Harden
    Gordon
    Dekker
    Capela

    Let's try to see if we can get something going early with our 3 best playmakers and scorers. Let's see how they defend those 3. Especially for game 4. Ariza is gonna be off. Lou and Gordon are totally due. At least 1 of them is due for a 20 point game. I'm thinking Louis. Dekker is much more versatile than Ryno plus we need Dekker's hussle. We need to get off to a hot start out of the gates and get the crowd in the game.

    Sucks but clearly his wrist is damaged. Just sat in the corner as a decoy trying to stretch the floor by making his defender stay close. We can't win if it doesn't heal.

    Problem with Ryno, besides injuries, you never know which Ryno shows up....he's sometimes hot but often cold making him unreliable in any game plan.

    Give Wiltjer his minutes. Both are liabilities on defense but one can hit the 3

    Idk about the dude... many of the shots he MADE over the last couple games were making me shudder... He was launching from 3-4 feet back of the 3 point line.... He'd launch and I was like "WTF, dude..... oh, it went in... ok, cool..."

    Ryan Anderson is one odd odd player. He is extremely valuable one game, then single handily loses you the next game. When he's off, he's worse than Corey Brewer.

    Start Ryno because that is his comfort zone. If he proves ineffective, bench him early.

    We cant leave him on the bench because they have 2 7 footers down low. If ariza plays PF and holds Aldridge, who in the starting line up will hold Leonard? Certainly not Harden, and Bev is too small.

    Our starting lineup has been laying duds since game 2 of the OKC series. I agree that a change-up is in order. And even if it's not in the starting lineup, try working Dekker or Troy into things. C'mon, DAntoni. You're known as being a players coach. Don't be Van Gundy, Adelman, or McHale. Don't pin guys to the bench for no reason. Take a risk.

    Feels like change needs to happen especially with the Rox behind in a series for the first time in these playoffs. They were getting by against OKC but a real change needs to occur now against a better team whether it means going deeper in the bench, reducing Anderson's minutes, etc. The Spurs weren't above making a change to their starting lineup/rotation after their ass kicking in game 1.

    Id be in favor of taking him out of the lineup completely if not for completely killing any trade value he has.

    I would go with a young athletic death lineup that can do two things: shoot from 3, can drive to the basket and finish strong at the rim.

    Pg- harden
    Sg- Gordon
    Sf- dekker
    Pf- Troy Williams
    C- Capela

    We have to play fast and run Aldridge and gasol out of the gym.
