Starting 2? Miles or Bell?

[Sneakers]

Start Bell to begin the season.. if Miles proves he ain't doggin it then let him grab the starting spot from either AK or Bell later in the season

 

[David Stern]

Somehow, Ronnie Price will end up starting at the 2. Book it.

 

[Shad]

He may and probably will miss games to legitimate injuries. But not with a "sprained pinky" as you said. A bigger concern is if he will even be as mobile as he was.

Andre did miss games with a sprained pinky.

I didn't argue that point. But why include Okur?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Start Bell, no brainer. We got him here for his defense and shooting. Im sure we want him defending the opposing teams starting SG, and Im sure we want him to spread the floor for Al Jefferson to work down low.

AK would be the first player sent to the bench every game, then bring in CJ as 6th man at the SF. Then later, sub AK back in at the 4 for Sap and sub in Hayward at the 3, moving CJ to the 2 (and Bell to the bench). Thats how I see our current wing substitution working out.

Again, I don't want Miles and Hayward as backups because if Sloan plays them together like he usually does for backups, it makes for a poor combination defensively and experiencewise.

Let Bell be the first wing off the bench so that there is some time with Kiri and Bell playing together (or CJ and Bell together).

Utah benefits more by having Bell being a key cog of the backup rotation. It also saves wear and tear on Bell's thirtysomething knees because he plays a few minutes less per game and keeps him fresher for the end of games.

Utah has its defending wing in the starting lineup with Kirilenko. No need to have two of them, and it is counterproductive to have a lineup with lots of shooting and iffy defense (Hayward + Miles).

Bonkers, you are so predictable. LOL. Same old same old trying to defend your boy. If only he could play. Sad.

You son of a bitch.

This thread is further proof that 46% of this board is fundamentally retarded.

Haha. Even when called out you don't answer and still have not made a single post about anything Jazz related besides CJ. Still the scorned lover?

I may be predictable (I like players with talent not just the players that "work hard") but you never make any but the same post, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Where's the "Neither" and/or "I'd rather cut my balls off with a rusty bicycle chain than start/play either of those pooh wankers"?

I'd probaby vote for the second option.

My starting 5:

Dwill
Bell
Miles
Millsap
Jefferson

Like the Suns of recent yore in an alternate universe. Shortish but instead of speed, built for more methodical Sloan stuff.

Dwill (Nash)
Bell (younger, pre-injury Bell)
Miles (some guy who's athletic and can shoot the 3 a bit)
Millsap (Marion)
Jefferson (Amare)

Could do well in the regular season. But could also get stomped in the playoffs by a taller team.

 

[rainhut]

Hey Bonkers. You're starting to stutter. In case you didn't know, this thread is about who should start, Miles or Bell so we have to talk about your baby Miles. So I vote Bell for Utah, Miles for any place else. Bell can play, Miles can pretend to play. The Lakers wanted Bell and they have a great coach. Do you think they wanted Miles? The only thing the Lakers want from Miles is to keep guarding Briant.

I would round it up to about 98% David Stern, Hopper, and I are the only things keeping the board from imploding on itself

Please explain to me how Millsap and Marion are anything alike.

Sounds about right. By the way, make your picks in the damn draft thread you noob.

Both are good rebounders?

Take the comparison in context.

Marion was, and Millsap will be, undersized as starting PF. Marion had his athleticism; Sap his strength and effort to even things up a bit. That should do well through a good part of the regular season until the Jazz, like the Suns, face deep playoffs teams with tall bigs.

Also, with that lineup above, the Jazz, like the Suns will also be making a PF play C. Should be good enough in the regular season but could be groundhog day deeper in the playoffs.

 

[sportsnutzz]

right now the voting is 41 vs. 41 I would imagine the Jazz will have a hard time deciding also.

Yes and it's the ONLY THREAD you have posted in. Just like the other board. Bryant wanted Bell because he hates playing against him. Show me a quote where any other Laker said they wanted him including their "great coach".

The Lakers can't say anything about Miles because he's under contract with another team and Bell wasn't. So you have no clue if they want him or not. Your just making **** up to fit your self delusions again.

So Miles hater and no idea about anything basketball related have you decided to tell us how Miles spurned you yet?
