In the regular season it will be. We have only a few playing now that will make the rotation.


Your right. I certainly hope so. But, the starting 5 can do much. It is the bench I am scared about.


Eh, look at our "starting lineup" vs a lottery team:

Orl - Sac

Jameer - Thomas
Afflala - Thornton
Hedo - Evans
BBD - Robinson
Vuc - Cousins

I say we lose that battle pretty easily

I was just looking at all the nba rosters, I would say our starting lineup is only better than the Raptors and Bobcats. Very sad but hopefully it lands us some studs and we can rebuild quickly.

Not a lot of bright spots from tonight: http://bit.ly/SZJrNh

Pistons' size, length, and speed crushed us. That and we sat Jameer, Redick, Baby, Vucevic, and Nicholson on top of AA, Harrington, Ish, and Eyenga still having not stepped on the court. Ugly to watch though.

Harper scored 11 but probably gave up 31. Made Singler and Prince look too good.

DeQuan Jones and Ayon are the only guys who played well really.

Armon and Chris Johnson need to be cut. Harper, Q-Rich (doesn't fit this new team), and McRoberts (despite a nice dunk and two nifty passes) bought out. Those are the 5 guys I want out and the next 4 games won't change my viewpoint probably.

They also had the GOAT start for them at SG tonight too.

Kinda impressed with the production that was provided by Jones on the back-end of a B2B.

Yes! The 24 year old phenom looked astounding in his 25 minutes.

5 points, 6 boards, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 3 fouls.

MVP.

Also, the Danimal made a tremendous impact, with 13 points, 3 boards, and 12 sad puppy dog faces that struck fear into the hearts of his opponents.

I managed to watch nearly a half of this game and had enough. 10 of our best players didn't participate and watching struggles of scrubs like Harper or both Johnsons made me nauseous. BUT after this half a game I changed my view on who whould get cut. I'm on the Jones bandwagon now. He should get a nod over McRoberts who didn't show anything but a **** of missed jumpers.

Nelson/Smith/Moore
Afflalo/Redick/Jones
Turkoglu/Harkless/Richardson
Davis/Harrington/Nicholson
Vucevic/Ayon/O'Quinn

OUT: Johnsons, Harper, Eyenga, McRoberts

I was just looking at all the nba rosters, I would say our starting lineup is only better than the Raptors and Bobcats. Very sad but hopefully it lands us some studs and we can rebuild quickly.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

If the Raptors end up with the #2 pick in the draft, was it a mistake to not take the Houston deal?

If the Raptors end up with the #2 pick next year, they would keep it. They would also keep it if it is the #2 in 2014 and 2015.
