    For those calling for CBud to start (I am) then this needs to happen with AB going to the bench.

    Lowry
    Martin
    Bud
    Scola
    Yao

    This puts AB as a scorer off the bench with Lee and Battier playing some good solid defense. I feel like this would help our team by simply allowing the players to excel at the roles they are good at. Lowry Defense and push the ball, AB score.

    Not a bad idea. I've seen chase work hard on both end of the floor.

    Since this thread is from the Joker, I can't help but think this is an actual joke...

    Starting Bud alongside the defensive sieve known as Kevin Martin is not a good idea.

    Regardless of Chase, I'm fine with benching Brooks.

    Lowry cant shoot and our starting lineup doesnt effectivley run with Yao. Lowry likes to push the tempo, Yao wont get his touches and will get tired quickly. Not a good basketball move

    I disagree, Lowry looked just fine playing with the starters last game. Not like he doesn't know how to pass into the post.

    We would be better off trading Brooks than benching him.

    why do we care so much about who starts? we haven't been starting game poorly, we've been ending them poorly. it was our problem last year, and until yao is comfortable enough to make those crucial plays we're going to struggle in the 4th.

    in truth, we never should have been in the situation to lose the denver or la, until the 4th quarter we had decent leads. when we built leads our shot selection goes haywire and we crumble.

    remember guys it 0-3 out of 82 games
    la is the north american champions (not the friggin world champs)
    gs has a lot of talent and was shooting incredibly that night
    denver is still a good team with melo

    why are we hanging our heads so low? we have 79 games left to get on track. didn't dallas star the season 0-6 a few years ago and go on to win 50+?

    Yes, and who told him he can shoot? i'm really getting annoyed with his dribble dribble dribble pull up free 17 footer at the end of quarters.

    i think we should trade AB for Andre Iguodala !

    Andre Iguodala Andre Iguodala Andre Iguodala Andre Iguodala ...

    I suffered very much with watching AB burst into crowd instead of assistance to teammates.So stupid small ant ! :eek:
