What do you think about this starting lineup

Kobe Bryant
Jodie Meeks
Earl Clark
Pau Gasol
Dwight Howard

Youth, size and defense!

Can't imagine D'Antoni relegating Nash to the bench.

Although I thought the Kobe/Meeks/Clark/Jamison/Pau lineup looked good yesterday. Could run that at times or plug Dwight in for Pau.

still think the team is much better off benching pau and keeping a quick floor spreading pf like clark in the starting lineup.

Pau's been playing pretty well in the last 3 games and Clark would start at SF to help guard Durant (most likely 1st round matchup). Plus, I honestly think the only way this team has a chance to win is through size/post-ups..Pau might not be that effective but he is the only big man that can naturally give you assists/rebounds/scoring all at once

Can we officially clinch a spot first........kinda shows a lack of humility seeing as nothing is offical with us being in yet.

I think it would be interesting if this team with these players threw the rule-book out the window, and went with unique lineups for each matchup.

I'll reserve judgment until after the Griz and Clips games. I'm not getting my hopes up anymore.

I agree with Deep. Lets get to the playoff first and then see who we are facing.
