Wilkins is a goner, but who else?

Hopefully he'll give Tucker some time. I don't want it to be like in years past where prospects are brought in to "try out" then never get to play.

Apart from that I can see Gomes starting over Wilkins and maybe Love moving to the bench for a Jawai or Hollins. Basically moving Jefferson back to power forward and seeing how it goes with a proper starting lineup for awhile. I suppose Jonny might finally have to come off the bench one game, which would be good for both the team and him.

I'd like to see Tucker and Ellington get more time. I hope Al and Love both keep getting minutes in the 30s regardless of who starts or not.

Gomes in for Wilkins?
Sessions for Flynn?

I think you nailed it.

I want to see Sessions and Ellington replace Flynn and Wilkins with Brewer moving to the 3. I think Flynn would be awesome off the bench, we could let him go offensively with the crappy 2nd unit Sessions usually plays with.

I'd actually like to see Flynn off the bench for the next game, now that Billups is back. Lawson vs. Flynn should be a good matchup. I like how Love says what's on his mind in the article, but I hope he keeps his comments on the coaches decisions low-key.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that I think Flynn will stay in the starting lineup the entire season. If he wanted to move Flynn to the bench, he would have done it when he was struggling. I don't think Kahn would be too happy if Rambis did move Flynn to the bench. I would also not be surprised to see Jefferson come off the bench in favor of Love and Hollins or Pecherov and have Jefferson come in for Love. Love is doing everything expected of him while Jefferson not so much. I wouldn't be shocked to see a starting lineup of Flynn, Ellington, Brewer, Love and Pecherov/Hollins.

Flynn has matched up great against Billups while Sessions has had problems. I think that would be a silly replacement for that game.

"Sasha has been doing really well in practice," Rambis said. "He has been shooting the basketball well. He has been playing defense really well. He has earned that time."

Uh oh, could we be seeing Pavlovic starting? That would please the board lol.

If we really are considering trading Jefferson, there's no way they'll have him come off the bench. Love is our best player and would exacerbate any tension that there REPORTEDLY MIGHT be between Love and Jefferson. Unless there's no truth at all in the Yahoo sports report about Jefferson and Love and Jefferson/Granger, than I assume it has to be 2 of Flynn, Brewer and Wilkins.

When I read that in the article it made me glad that my car has a remote start, and a convenient muffler that I won't have to bend down to far to get my mouth around.

I don't think Love had a good grasp on how he was playing if he doesn't know why he was pulled so often. I preferred Jefferson's comments.

Out Wilkins and Flynn.
In Gomes and Sessions.
Hopefully Hollins is back tonight as well. I doubt he'd get the start after missing the last 3 games or whatever.

I really hope Sessions is starting as well. It's been quite surprising to me at least that Rambis has waited so long to see how Sessions plays in the starting role. We're 8-30 afterall.. I don't think any lineup changes can hurt us too bad...

moss_is_1 · Post #17 » by **moss_is_1** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:52 pm

or maybe he would be willing to try Flynn-Sessions-Brewer-love-Al since Denver plays afflalo at the 2 anyway.

After all that speculation, not one change.

Sasha went down in minutes.

The change was probably supposed to be increased motivation from the starters. I missed the first half so I don't know if it worked.
