Number one Injuries:

Boston: Paul perice out for three weeks. Basically the only good thing going for Boston, they will probably lose most of the games he is out for.

NewJersy: Nenad Kristic out with knee injury and is out for the year. Not saying the Nets won't win without Nenad, but that big run everybody is waiting for the Nets to make is a lot less probably without him. Moore, Collins, Boone.... none of they can replace what Nenad brought to the team. They Nets could be only a .500 team this season.

Toronto: They are the freaking Raptors.......... they play without Bosh and go on like a 5 game winning streak, there is no point in trying to say what they will do.

Number two Suspensions: The Brawl with Denver maybe a good thing. Along with the team playing better, the fact that players(JJ2, Nate, Q, Francis) will be coming back slowly and at different times will be big. So with us winning with the guys we have doing great, these guys can be added slowly and they will accept there roles better. Kind of like cooking. After the sixers game, we can start adding in a JJ2 at small forward(I think Isiah is nutts if he is still thinking about benching Lee). Then Q will probably come back and you can mixe him in, then Nate and Francis will comeback. James will be getting surgery on his foot and hopefully Francis does the same to open the mintues again.

The way I think the team should be
Curry/Cato
Lee/Frye
JJ2/Balkman
Crawford/Q
Marbury/Q

We should go away from that 3/4 guard stuff and use the Curry/Frye/Lee lineup more. Cato should get 15 mins a game, with Frye getting the rest. Nate should get the grabage time in the back court(about 15 mins) with Q coming off the bench first for both backcourt spots. We don't need Francis, but we will proabaly have to deal with for alittle while longer. Until Francis is gone or deported. Q will get Balkman mintues and Francis will get Q's backup Guard spot and Balkman will get nates minutes.

Number 3 our big hitters: It should go with out saying, but If Marbury, Lee and CUrry do this game in and out we have to make it our team plain to get them going and get them minutes. THey should get 35 mins a game from now on!!!!!

Q at the point??? It should be:

Curry/Cato
Lee/Frye
JJ2/Balkman/Q
Q/Crawford/Nate
Marbury/Crawford/Nate

He's not the point, Crawford is the point. Q is just the Backup Guard, he would come in for either Marbury or Crawford. Crawford should strat though, it helps him out and marbury.
