Simmons is AWFUL. Ryan Anderson should be starting at the 3 but Frank would never ever start 2 rookies.

I would be open to moving Simmons out of the starting lineup, but I would say no. We are winning right now, and if we moved him to second unit and upgraded Anderson to a starter, Dooling and Hayes would be the only scorers on our 2nd unit. I like the make up of our 2nd unit right now. Switching Simmons to the 2nd and upgrading Hayes of Anderson to the 1st unit would screw us I think. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Hell even if we were 7-9 right now, I would vote against moving Yi and Simmons out of the starting line up. I thought we wouldn't win more than 30 games this year, We're 1/3 of the way there basically 16 games into the season, I'm like a pig in $#!* right now.

The saying is, "If it ain't broke.." But yes, I'm totally with you.

The idea of starting a game is silly anyway...what difference does it make? Jarvis will continue to get big minutes - as will Brook once Boone comes back. We're above .500, I'm not complaining.

Wow we don't miss Simmons. He is horrible. I pee'd a little when I saw that he has been starting for you guys. He is firewood.

Haha I try to use proper english as much as I can lol.

As for the other kid posting about Simmons, he's been ok. He can't do a thing with the more athletic 3's in the league, but I'm not disappointed by his play like some other people. You know what you're gonna get with him and you know what you're gonna give up. We have a winning record. I could care less right now if he played 35mpg and averaged 2pts, 2rebs, 2ast. We are 9-7. All is well in my eyes.

just limit Simmons minutes..or give them to CDR or Najera once they can come back and play effectively..


Agreed.
