    Pros:
    Lane is wide open for Harden.

    Cons:
    Defense suffers.

    I personally feel we need to try it out sooner rather than later.

    they won't be successful hacking us when JB draws up a stupid play for the 5 position.

    JB won't figure it out.

    The foot speed those two have will actually benefit our defense.

    I worry more so about rebounding.

    So this season really comes down to our saviors to be :

    A. A guy we wanted to dump away but the other team rejected him also.
    B. A guy that almost every teams in the NBA rejected him.

    Sounds like a winning formula.

    Why would you ever mention Beasley as someone who should play? Did you not watch the game today?

    Beasley got the ball in halfcourt 20 times and literally passed it only four times. Half of those possesions he got the ball around three point line too, so it's not like he was forced to shoot. It's just mindblowing to see someone who stops the ball movement and takes a horrible shot every possesion get actual playing time in the NBA.

    Two very good players, all things aside though.

    Very dumb and misinformed. We need players that can score at the end of games. Howard, Brewer, on some nights Bev or Ariza won't be able to unless they get the best shot possible.

    No matter what, Brewer's priority is always higher than Dmo and Beas.

    Your target should be Brewer who shooting 1/6 in 21 minutes.

    You never should blame someone who only played 15 mins with 11pts.

    DMo isn't a significant dropoff to Dwight defensively and is FAR more skilled offensively.

    DMo and Beasley should be starting.

    Seems like Harden/Beasley pnr and DMo post ups should be the bread and butter plays.

    Id prefer Clint and Dmo .

    Beas is a chucker . Yes we need him to do that at certain times . I don't think he knows when not to . I don't think he stops of his shot isn't falling .

    Bev
    James
    Ariza
    Trez
    DMo

    That's who I want to close out games.

    DMo/Beas closed the Wolves game if I recall right and was actually decent if not for Lavine hitting those random 3's in the end.

    But I wouldn't trust Beasley's D to do so in a consistent basis honestly if that's the closing duo. Unless he's on fire or something, this pairing will get roasted up front. (Tho seeing some of you guys say there's no difference with Dwight anyways, just anyone outside of Brewer to close line-ups) Maybe in certain match-ups, yes...but not all

    u guys dont remember last season when dmo was forced to do most of his playing time at center and only avg 5-6rpg? always getting out-muscled since he's a pf and not a center?

    dmo's game is for a pf, not center. he puts on more muscle he'll regress and risk getting injured with his bad back

    the dwight hate on clutchfans is too strong for logic

    Can adjust play Beasley at the 3. He's quick enough to guard 3's . He can shoot . He can create his own shot . He runs . He slashes. Sounds like a guy who can play there to me . I dunno why our last two coaches have had such an aversion to playing big , but if we use Dmo in the post and Beasley at the 3 we can punish teams for being too small to guard us . Also playing him at the 3 lets him give Ariza a competent backup and can reduce his minutes . Brew can move to the two , shots don't mind giving him 10 minutes a game if it's to spell James .

    Because he plays when Harden sits.

    Every single player that plays when Harden sits has a MASSIVE negative +/-... FACT
