Big lineup in crunch time?

Go with your 5 best players when the game is on the line?

C:Bynum
PF:Gasol
SF:Odom
SG:Artest
PG:Kobe

Can this lineup work and will it be used in small stretches?

Kobe, Artest, and Odom should be able to handle the ball and on ball pressure enough to get the offense initiated....

WIll be interesting to see what happens.

If they had a quick PG we'd be in trouble with that lineup, soooo it depends. I'd like to see that lineup in long stretches, see if it will work, depends on how Bynum develops this year.

but if they have a pg, then we would have 4-5 inch height advantage over them

Who'd you rather have on the floor in crunch time? Derek "Clutch" Fisher or Lamar "bonehead" Odom or Andrew "Personal Foul" Bynum?

The answer is simple to me. No big line up needed.

Now that I can stop laughing I have to say I disagree. I like that line up in stretches. That team is huge. As far as Fish goes, he's a clutch shooter but he's a bone head as well. Don't forget that mindless loss in SA last year.

It would heavily be dependent on how the refs are calling the game. I would like to go with a defensive lineup at the end of the game if they are allowing fouls.

But when it comes down to it, you need to spread the floor for Kobe who is our closer in late game situations. That typically means more shooters, and one Center (not two). So I see Pau/Odom. Although Pau and Bynum might work well this year if there's good enough chemistry.
