I understand that our front-court is playing well, and it may hurt Nazr's feeling to have Vinny take some of his minutes, but Vinny needs to get in the flow of things also, because he is able to do things that we could need deep in the season. Last time he got in the game, he did pretty well, so why not use the big lineup for a change:

Marb
Crawf or Houston
JYD
Vinny
Nazr

why do you propose a line up change everytime some guy plays good for 8 minutes in garbage time? Baker sucks and has been bad this year. He's interior D isnt bad its non-existant.

the only, the ONLY gripe i have with lenny is the minutes sweetney gets and when he's in, they don't to him nearly enough in the low post. i think that'll change now with h20 out there but that's it. if you want to say he could play some zone more to hide some of our deficiencies in man to man defense, then fine. but other than that, he's done a good job.

the only lineup change that I have proposed all year has been JYD and Sweetney as starter either as a SF or PF. Show me where else I have advocated for anyone either than JYD or Sweetney to be in the lineup... I simply said that Vinny hasn't been given any love by Lenny. after 20 games, dude only played for less than 20 minutes.

I did show you just the other day. You cant be serious?!?!? You havent suggest that TT be moved to center or pf? I think you have had TT starting at every position except PG this year at some point. I'm not going through your posts because I dont really care.. its just funny you actually thought you never mentioned line up changes.

Fish, I don't even know why you entertain this stuff. This guy don't even watch the games. He's basically proposing line-ups by the names on the roster and not by the performance they've put forth this year. Next thing you know he'll be proposing Bruno to start because of his height. IT'S ABOUT PERFORMANCE BABY. IF YOU'RE NOT PERFORMING, THEN YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE MINUTES. VINNY IS NOT PERFORMING, PERIOD. When Vinny was in the game against Denver, he was letting people blow right by him. Then he'll look at his teammates as to say, "why you didn't pick him up". It's your man Vinny. De-Vin-less Vinny should get No Burn.

"entertain" is the key word

You can generally judge how slow fish is at work when he's responding to diderotn's line up proposals.

Zone defense requires team defense, and rotating, something ( up until last night) we suck at.

Last night the effort was unbelievable. But flash back to the 1st quarter and thats been our defesive mind set for most of the season.

Line up changes do nothing but cause chaos

generally I agree... another reason I dont want trades to happen at this point, unless its for some size off the bench or a young player thats going to be a part of the rotation for years to come.

However TT is hurting us and we have been more than patient.
