    Although it would never happen, I would love to see us sometimes just sub the whole starting team for this backup group :D :

    PG: Francis
    SG: Barry
    SF: Battier
    PF: Landry
    C : Deke

    Just start the game, with two minutes left in the first, sub the whole second unit. (Can you even do that? :eek: ) Then with 7 minutes left in the second, sub the whole starting unit back in. :cool: I know....crazy...but I did say that it would NEVER happen. But that would be 17 minutes in the first half for all the starters, and 7 minutes for all the back ups. A similar plan could be for the second half, with maybe the starters coming in one or two minutes earlier in the fourth. ;) Minutes per game would be in line, but Im sure matchups would not let that happen, nor would Adelman have the desire to even consider a drastic substitution pattern like that. Not to mention fouls, etc.

    I don't think it will happen unless the starters are collectively playing like a hs team.

    A very decent transition O team. With the exception of Battier...but he can be the trailer on the break. ;)

    Deke won't play until late in the season to get into playing shape for the playoffs and I doubt Battier & Artest will see much time on the court together. Therefore, this is my TMac/Yaoless lineup:

    Scola
    Landry
    Artest/Battier
    Barry
    RA/Brooks

    Yeah, this lineup's going to fun to watch. If the opposing team's frontcourt goes small, I can also see Landry in there in place of Scola.

    My favorite line up without TMing wouldn't have Ron in it either. I'm thinking:

    dorsey
    hayes
    barry
    francis
    brooks

    This is the line up I want and expect to see when we clear the bench cause we keep blowing teams out.

    Incorrect! Barry will be a point guard in certain line ups.

    Not necessarily the most practical, effective lineup, but it would definitely be my favorite :)
