Kwame Brown = Larry Brown's new Ben Wallace? :roll:
If we get Hamilton, then this really is the dirt poor, washed up version of the 2004 Pistons. :(

I think our starting line up just looks really old, tired and slow. How many more times do we have to see DJ jet out on the break to create transition offense but no one running with him to pass the ball to?

Jax is looking slow. Crash is looking slow. Diaw is just a plodder. Nazzy is old.

At least with McGuire and Kwame out there last night there were two guys willing to run the court hard. For the same reason I would like to see UPS out there a LOT more. He loves running the court.

DJ - Hendo - UPS - T2 - Kwame

is a line up that should get extended mins IMO. Show the broken old starters how to run a court.

Totally agree, i actually hope those are the ONLY players , or other new acquisitions getting minutes by the end of the season.

for christ's sake larry, try something different.

start livingston, start kwame, start tyrus, bring back collins and start him.... DO ANYTHING other than what you are doing now. 3 losses by 30 points in the past 4 games... get a clue. its not working.

if he starts the same 5 tomorrow against the thunder i am going to lose my mind.

this is about the 10th time LB has bitched about his starters not having energy to start games or 2nd half.


SO START A DIFFERENT LINEUP.

the starters arent getting it done, try something else. 27 games is enough time.

Livingston is trash. Start Collins, Sign Larry hughes, Start brown and McGuire. Najera could take minutes at the 5.

I'm guessing Hughes hasn't been signed for a reason. Is he playing at all at the moment, he probably looks like Collins the 2nd at the moment.

He's gotta be injured or something. He's better than most 6th or 7th men in the league.

^ I agree, provided the change doesnt financially impair the team beyond this season.

Also, I'd prefer the addition be a young player who could potentially be groomed to be integrated during a rebuilding process.

Why not pluck someone like Kyle Weaver, who is tearing up the D-League and see what he can do.

He's as low risk, high reward as they come.

Meet LB. He doesn't like scoring

but really, im not even talking about a change involving trades or new players, i just want to see something different in terms of either the starting lineup or the rotations or both. LB has not made one change to his starting lineup that wasnt the result of injury (except that one game vs the knicks when he benched nazr). i'd like to see LB try a different combination. must likely it will end in the same result, but at least its something.
