    No.

    Why is it that so many people after three games want to chop and change the line-ups. First it was Brooks replacing Alston, and now Landry replacing Scola. I have even read threads about having McGrady come off of the bench.

    How about we just sit back and allow the team to develop some chemestry. That is why we got on a 22 game winning streak last season. Adelman was patient with our line-up and didn't make drastic changes. Even with Scola becoming a starter, Adelman didn't just panic and make a line-up change.

    I prefer threads having more substance and less knee-jerk reactions

    It's way too soon to talk about this. Scola wasn't doing a bad job.

    Maybe you should coach the Rockets instead. Go submit your resume to Morey.

    Nah i'd rather keep Scola starting at 4 cuz he's not doing too bad a job. Plus, its good to have Landry's explosiveness off the bench. I mean that is what he did soo well last year.

    But who knows what'll happen during the season?

    I think Landry on the bench bringing in energy when needed is working well.

    Scola is a better starter right now.

    Scolandry is in full effect so it does not mattr who starts but the reason Scola should is because Landry brings alot of energy off the bench and thats what you need

    I'd keep them where they are right now. I am excited by the added offensive skills that Landry has added. I just wish that both of them would improve their defense. If they could get up to the defense skills that Chuck has...damn, scary!!! :)

    i like the landry combo with AB much better than scola and AB.

    Unless AB gets the nod for starter, i say stick landry to the 2nd unit.

    Scola is better off starting, and Landry coming in later to provide extra boost of energy.

    I think it doesn't matter WHO starts as long as they both get a good amount of minutes.

    With Mutumbo's absence this year, we need our power forwards to back up Yao, and allow him to rest some.

    Landry works very well with Brooks....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    YOu guys need to realize something, and im talking to those who think landry should start... Scola is in the starting line up because he is doing what the team needs him to do, hustle and give his heart. If scola wanted he could get his points, post up, and be a focal point in the offense. But in this team because of the depth we have he is asked to go out there and hustle and get rebounds. Landry is a sprk plug off the bench that we need. sCola is older and more mature, and a person who can handle better than landry at this point, and thats why he is starting.

    i'd keep scola as a starter just because he's a more reliable defender. with landry he's still raw defensively and can get in foul trouble, but if landry improves his d then landry over scola will be a legit debate.

    brooks will never start over rafer. he's the perfect spark plug for the second unit along with barry. we want brooks to look for his shot, or drive in and kick out. would you rather have him kick out to T-Mac who shoots 30% or Barry?

    also with t-mac he likes the ball in his hands and doesnt move without the ball. barry complements brooks perfectly because of his ability to move into open spaces.
