I think it's ok to start him at 4 and move Metta back to the bench. he looked like the same Metta earlier in the season.
Howard, Clark, Ebanks, Kobe, Nash
Kobe can't handle the likes of Lebron, Melo, and Durant for long stretches and we can't expect him to beast offensively. personally, I'd like to see Mike experiment with Ebanks at the 3 and see if Clark's energy and hustle can rub on him.
Pau as the back up 5 makes sense as almost everyone pointed out numerous of times already. Jamison isn't a 3 pt specialist, but he moves well without the ball as we've seen from the previous game. even a tandem of Duhon and Jamison PnR could work.
Gasol/Sacre, Gasol/Jamison, MWP, Meeks/Bryant, Duhon/Nash. just play with the combinations for the bench.
solves the problem with Dwight and Pau both wanting the ball at the block. they will be surrounded with outside shooters and active cutters. down the stretch, just go with the 5 who are playing well with each other. I'm done with the Dwight-Pau experiment and Metta over thinking/doing things.
Don't even know where to start from. There is no reason for Jamison to be getting minutes on any team. Dude can't defend worth of ****. If you actually expect a team with duhon, jamison, meeks, and gasol to be on the court at the same time to compete then I don't know what to tell you. Teams would have a field day against that lineup like they did last night
