I'm conflicted too. I have a hard time watching us lose but for this one year it might be best.

It all depends on what kind of players Wiggins and Parker are going to be going forward. Even then tanking doesn't assure us either of those guys.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

Chris Kaman stressed he's respecting Mike D'Antoni because of how upfront he's been. But Kaman acknowledged wanting to play more with Pau

There's simply not enough mins to go around for 5 guys playing 2 positions......Williams is the odd man out so he should be benched

I know MDA is a players coach and whatnot but this 11 man rotation must end ......10 guys are more than enough

To 10. He was dirks bitch in 11, single handedly got us swept with that stupid ass foul in game one. I still got that on DVR, the wtf look on. The face of Kobe, Fish,Phil, Ron, Andrew, and LO as Pau ran 30 feet out with no fouls to give, up in a one possession game and intentionally fouled Dirk :oops:

Good, he can ISO more with that group like Farmar and Xavier were both doing. Starters really weren't doing that, just using him as the bailout

Williams should just play more 3 and less 4.

Then he'll be eating at Henry/Young's mins ...I know Young has been bad but I don't want so see him play 10-15 mins just yet


Cut him out of the rotation for good.....players get a few extra mpg,improves their rhythm,chemistry on the court,etc

Doesn't even have anything to do with how he played so far,I was against using 11 guys from the start with meaningfull mins...10 guys are enough

The few minutes Hill got tonight were due to Kaman's foul trouble. D'Antoni needs to stop being so stuck up to his own system. Hill may not be an all star player but he constantly produces. There's no reason for D-League talent like Shawn Williams to start over him just because they can shoot the occasional three.

The rotations could use a little tweaking but I'm all for keeping Kaman and Hill's minutes low.

Keep running Swaggy P. Maybe he gets hot and we can trade him for a draft pick or something.. lol

Sweet win.

Gasol still got game, even if he missed like a million shots.

Like some have said here, if MDA comes off this lust for Williams, Blake and Nash we could be a much better team in terms of fluidity. The front line rotation needs to be Gasol, Hill and Kaman plain and simple. We don't win that game last night without J-Chill, his energy is unmatched by no one on our team.

Its not about occasionally shooting the 3...its about spacing. Notice the amount of open looks players are getting so far this season. That didn't happen last year with all the congestion in the paint.

No Wesley Johnson at PF either?
