    Highest +/- = DMo at +13

    Lowest +/- = TJones at -9

    Remember Jones was playing center, normally we would have ASIK to shore up the benches defense!

    DH12 - 11pts/6rebs/1assist
    Harden - 11pts/3assists
    Terrence Jones - 10pts/3rebs

    Hell no. Smith will clog the paint. We need someone that can shoot at the 4.

    Our bench won't be weak. Asik, Garcia, Greg Smith and Camby are all out. And I'm sure at least one of Casspi. Williams, Brewer and Covington will emerge as a capable bench guy.

    There is no way D-Mo could be clean guarding such an athletic power-forward as Anthony Davis is. We shall play Dwight at 4 against them and Asik at 5. I mean, against Davis/Duncan/Pacers/maybe Nets. First teams heading to my small head :grin:

    I think Asik should be a starter at center and put Dwight at forward.

    Big boss Harden's cold blooded 3s. Oh how I've missed you so.

    I may be very unpopular by saying this, but I think D-Mo did ok. He wasn't as good as T-Jones, but I think D-Mo defended Anthony Davis quite well, while T-Jones was facing the 2nd unit of the opposing team. Oh, and T-Jones is having a pretty hot game too - that bank shot 3 pointer...

    ... Jlin practice on your left. No more right reverse.

    People were arguing for Dmo to start with Dwight but they overlook the fact that Dmo's game won't be accentuated enough because Dwight takes half of the offensive load with Parsons, Harden and Lin doing the rest of work.

    If he can't get his shot to fall, he won't be doing anything with his strength that is offense.

    Harden is always the beast. Guess he's looking good. Wish I could see the game.

    Parsons started off really slowly last year too and steadily gained confidence as the season went on. I think he will be fine.
