Judging from the last two games, I think Mo is ready to take the starting spot back from Eddie. For some reason, Eddie seems to play better off the bench at this point of his career. On the other hand, Taylor seems to be getting his aggressivness and desire for the game back, I think I saw it in his eyes during the Spurs game (I was in the house that night, 5th row back from courtside). Taylor need to get back in the SL so he could get his game back on a roll, not to mention give us our money's worth!
Yeah, I remember that he used to give us a lift in the beginning of games with some early offense. I think it would be a good idea. Let Griffin come in later and do some damage when Taylor rests.
Was it ever officially stated why Eddie got a DNP against Dallas? Was he hurt, in the doghouse or what?
Strained back. I heard it's not too serious on the radio, but who knows how accurate that information is. B
The paper said it stemmed from the collision with Derek Fisher (which was pretty scarry at the time). Starting Mo sounds okay to me. At a minimum, we could showcase him as a "starting PF" for a trade.
I wouldn't mind seeing Mo start and give us a quick 12 points. But I want to see Eddie in at the end of games, he just seems like a clutch player to me. He isn't afraid to take the shot and can swat away anything inside.
