Should Casspi be on the floor to close out games?

    Sorry, no poll. The answer is just 'yes'.

    I will guarantee you that right now, in a close game in the fourth quarter, neither Dmo nor Jones will be on the floor. They are not yet ready. And that is putting it very kindly since it implies they will one day be ready, which is not a given.

    That means you have a choice of going super small with:

    Beverley/Lin/Harden/Parsons/Howard

    Or going with a lineup similar to what we closed out games with last year:

    Lin/Harden/Parsons/Casspi/Howard

    The other choice is swapping Beverley with Brewer in the first lineup for matchups, vs Kobe for example.

    They definitely have some options depending on who we are playing against, but when it is all said and done, I think the most used lineup to close the game will have Casspi at the 4.

    It's just one game. He has been horrid last 2 seasons in the league. If he keeps producing then yeah have him close out games, but for now temper your expectations just a bit. The guy's nickname was Omri Asspi for a reason.

    premature ejaculation.... knee jerk on the other side
    What Casspi proved he can do it all though. Needs to step it up consistently.

    If you think I am jerking your knee with this thread, then give me your 4th quarter lineup to close out games.

    Yeah, I think most logical people will wait longer than one PRE-SEASON game before they go around declaring any sort of line-up.

    By the way, I take any of your predictions with a grain a salt. Which will continue until Marcus Morris becomes Melo.
