Starting lineup.

[gregbroncs]

The starting lineup for this team is terrible. They need to make some sort of a change. Either bench Raja for Price/Howard/Miles or bench Jefferson for Fesenko/Elson or both.

They continually fall behind in games and rely on the bench to get them back in it. They show little to no energy to start games and play no defense. They settle for crappy jump shots and don't attack the rim. They finish the game out against the Spurs and get dominated on both ends of the floor.

my vote goes to jefferson for fesenko.

or rbign brewer back

Jefferson is definitely the weakest link thus far. He would be much better suited for the bench. That way, he could play like he did in Minny, with a bunch of crappy players around him and be the focal point of the offense.

I would like D-Will/CJ/AK/Millsap/Elson starting with Bell and Jefferson off the bench personally. Bell provides defensive toughness and Jefferson provides scoring.

I actually really like this idea. I would rather have Fess in over Elson but Matching Fess with Jefferson is a good option as well. Let Jefferson play PF against Smaller players that he can dominate inside.

Might be a really bad shooting lineup though.

I would trade Jefferson for a ham sandwich right now, dude has been crap.

 

[gregbroncs]

All starters -10 or higher on +/- in this game against the Spurs. 14 points 1st quarter and 14 points in the 4th when it was mostly starters in the game.

Problem is smaller players like DeJuan Blair can dominate Jefferson too.

Really? Blair did not guard Jefferson very much in that game. It was Duncan and Mcdyess pretty much the whole game.

 

[Duck Rodgers]

That seems spot on. They need to tinker a bit right now. Those comebacks were great, but they also just aided the delay of the inevitable. That unit just isn't very good together.

Did you misss those lots of times with the bigs bunched up there fighting for rebounds, that a shorter, not exactly quick, player like Blair would beat Jefferson to the rebound, offensive or defensive, to grab or tap it away. And also McDyess is 6-9 and 36.

I know we love him but that blame also has to be shared with Millsap.

And sorry Greg I just read this thread and I already started whining and posting about this in other threads guess it belonged in here.

I think at this point we have to make a change. Start Fes in place of Jefferson and have Jefferson as our main scoring option off the bench. Also bench Raja, but who do we start at the 2 ahead of him? CJ? Hayward? Price? Our wing situation is hopeless.
