    If Dwight is not feeling well. . . .. I think he should sit out.
    Does his injury get better with rest?
    I'd rather he be 100% for Game three or close to it
    than like 75% the rest of the series

    That Said . . . I REALLY am not feeling ALIAS SMITH AND JONES
    As a Combo . . .. they frighten me . . .too too soft

    I think Capela *Must* Start IMO

    JET
    HArden
    Ariza
    Smith
    Capela

    I hope D12 being "questionable" is just posturing. We need playoff-D12

    we have to realize that, with the injury, "playoff d12" is probably a goner now.

    with the injury he wont be as effective anyway. so might as well seek other solutions.

    He will not. TJ is going to start and Dorsey is going to get some minutes.

    Don't think JET should start. We need him fresh at end of halves for instant offense.

    If Dorsey does get minutes, they should be the first minutes of quarters. Hack a Dorsey is too effective to play him any other time.

    If GS wants to hack him 5 times, then Mchale needs to take him out as soon as they are in the penalty.

    That said, I still have faith in Jones on the block. I think he is the X factor in the series.

    As a fan who checking the score and play by play on cellphone while at work, that Jones-Smith combo is dangerous for my cellphone.

    If Capela needs to start I think Prig has to be there with him. They have good chemistry.

    Playoff D12 might be a thing of the past for this postseason, my friend.

    Correct lineup except take out JET and put in Pablo. Terry consistently has the worst +/- on the team and Prigioni consistently has the best. Yet their minutes are reversed. Terry was doing well for us as a shooter off the bench this season. He's not shooting well now and is not a facilitator, so you simply HAVE to cut down his minutes. I think he'll actually play better coming back off the bench as the specialist he is.

    Smith starting with Capela has excellent potential because Smith is a facilitator and Capela is a finisher. You always have to have at least one finisher in your lineup with Smith out there or smith will go from Dr. Josh Jekyll, the Talented Assister, to Mr. Josh Hyde, the Unpredictable Heroballer.

    Harden is going to need to play a lot of minutes and work the magic during all of them. I was very encouraged seeing him drop shot after shot trying to pull out the win for us in this last game.

    Harden's got this. Put whoever on the court and get out of the way. I just get the feeling he's going to have one of those games.

    I bet Terry would be great off the bench.

    Hahaha! This is so very relatable.

    Almost put my fist through my computer screen in Q2 of Game 1 vs Dubs.

    You're not alone.

    We could deal with that.

    Let's play Dwight minimally if need be and have him 100% for Game 3 at home.

    Think we have a new nickname: Clint "5% Tint" Capela.
