No way Acy should just sit. Don't be silly.

Bargnani is coming back for that starting 4 spot.

The bottom line is the team needs to get set rotations. In the NBA you usually go 9 deep with situational subs after that.

I do NOT like Bargs in unit 1 as he is a chemistry killer--always has been. But as a 4-5 back up--he gives the team a mismatch against 2nd line level talent.

Acy is not a top 9 player--hes a situational guy. The Spurs won last year by scoring nearly 106 a gme--they dont have scrappers--they have skill players.

Don't hate on Acy. He's been very solid for us especially on the boards. Love what I'm seeing from him. He shouldn't be grouped with the likes of Amare and Larkin..

I really like what I've seen from Acy. But if I'm Fish, I'm starting Jason Smith without a doubt.

No hate on Acy--he's just not in my top 9 and we need to set rotations. Id o think people have very finite memories. Amare was a first team all NBA guy and his first year with us he played just as well as Patrick Ewing at his best. He's just not a fit here anymore--but he deserves the most respect by far. AND he can be valuable as a guy who might need to play big minutes in case of injury--its ok for Amare to be situational right now as with Acy. But for the team we need a set 9.

I don't even like Barf but I have come to terms with this fact.

We will have to deal.

Briggs once proclaimed Hasheem Thabeet to be the next Olajuwon.

Say no to Briggs.
