I don't think James will or won't last because of court performance. Only real reason I think he is starting is to get Frye to the bench. Im hoping it will get Lee starting, I don't know if that will happen. But start JJ for 4 games to play the first 5 minutes is not a problem.


And I JJ is starting over Cato for two reasons. First is money, but the second is offense. Cato/Jared/Balkman are pretty much the same players to a certine degree, James is the only player on the team that has an offense game and can play interior defense.

Did you guys notice what they we're really trying to do with James against 'Lando? They were trying to get the ball into James on the high post so that he could easily lob it into Curry for gimme dunks. This didn't work against Battie and Howard, but I would be interested to see if it works against a lesser front line. James does add a little in terms of interior intimidation too.

This line-up is not the solution, but its worth a shot to try to get a 3 game streak going into the break.

Balkman and Lee need more run though. Even if B-man is at the 2, who cares? Jamal didn't even shoot last game.
