Prolly goes like

"Rudy gay 1 on 1"
"Alan Anderson 1 on 2"
"John lucas for three after going 1 on 1"

Man, I really hope Telfair plays over Lucas.

This is what our rotation should look like, in my opinion:
Lowry
DD
Gay
Amir
Val

Telfair
Ross
Fields
Bargnani

If our bigs are in foul trouble we should throw Acy in there. I've actually been quite impressed with him in his limited minutes. His rotations on D are real solid.

EDIT: Just read Holly's twitter and she said Lucas and Lowry are ahead of Telfair at this point.

It shouldn't take long for Telfair to overtake Lucas. Unless Casey continues to be an idiot.

I agree. I've watched Telfair recently and he's really learnt to play under control and pick his spots. Hes an awesome backup PG in my opinion. I just want to see how Casey will originally start to get him minutes considering that we aren't blowing out teams. He might just play him at the 2 for a couple minutes here and there. If Lucas is struggling, maybe he'll bring in Telfair for a couple minutes (unlikely). Best case scenario is we are blowing out the Wiz tonight and Telfair comes in with 7 minutes left in the game.

I agree. We need a Pure PG as a backup, not Lucas....

I think any of us could tell you that.

Considering how Lucas has played recently Telfair should earn his minutes. If Lucas isn't performing then bring in Telfair.

yeah exactly, he's shooting the lights out. But when, WHEN, that fizzles out, you go to Telfair.

To be honest, Lucas has not been playing well he has just been knocking down his shots. Don't you guys realize everytime he comes in the game we lose the lead? If he starts missing his shots there is no doubt Telfair will take his minutes.

3 PG lineup. Let's get it.

Telfair
Lucas
Lowry
Demar
Gay

Think of the match-ups. Can Nene check Gay? Washington won't know what's coming to them.

Telfair will start out as the 3rd-string PG but Casey said he wouldn't be uncomfortable putting him in b/c of his experience in the league

Sweet! I hope he isnt behind Lucas for long. Telfair > Lucas

Telfair looked at Casey's playbook and said " phew, this is some easy plays , just kill 20 seconds on the shot clock and pass it to someone for a contested shot "

Just kidding. Good to know that he might play.

All he saw in Caseys so called "playbook" was this on every page.
