    Nice. Some speed in the backcourt.

    With TMac at the 3.

    that team can get up and down.

    I think he said Sura will start with Barrett backing up Sura.

    Thats good news. I really want to see two guards who can push the basketball and up the tempo of our stagnant offense. If we lose at least it will be watchable.

    so we got...

    Barret - pg
    Sura - SG
    TMAC - SF
    Mot - PF
    Yao - C

    JJ is out of the picture?...since there is no way he or Tmac can play PF, even against the Diggler!

    I have no problem with that...we need to mix things up and get quicker

    No i think they ment Sura will start at the point and Barret will back him up. So that means T-Mac and JJ will stay in thier places, i think...

    Edit: I didnt see your post on top. I see you allreay got the message :)

    If they start BOTH those guys - Barrett will get KILLED with Daniels, Howard, and Harris posting him up !

    besides that gets JJ off the court - he has been the MVP so far

    I think that the post is wrong about that fact.

    BUT ITS THE RIGHT MOVE TO GET PLAYERS ON THE FLOOR WHO HAVE A LITTLE HEART !

    He mentioned Barret would get killed, but at least there would be some speed.
    Looks like we are trying to beat the Mavs at their own game.
    We are screwed!

    Maybe, but it definately puts a smile on my face knowing Ward or Lue won't be on the floor at any point tonight.:D

    For clarification purposes. Barrett and Sura will be the starting backcourt tonight?

    If thats the case; what the hell, go for it. It can't be worse than being 6-10 and playing like a lifeless team. We can only go up from here.

    Barret cant be any worse that Lue. If Lue can start for the Rox, why can't Barret? 2 inches and 6 pounds dont make that much of a difference. When Barrett is on the floor, he goes at a different speed, and pushes things a bit, maybe its not JVG's style, but his style isnt exactly winning games right now
