Since how good Ammo has been and how good Monta has passed the ball. If Maggs starts over AR we may have a lineup that is small ball of epic proportions.I personally think Ammo should start and Ellis should be the 1.
1- Curry
2- Ellis
3- Jack(Please leave already)
4- Maggs( AR better be starting)
5- Beans

I'd be very happy if it was

Curry
Ellis
Morrow
Randolph
Goose

Watson
Jackson
Buikie
Maggs
Turiaf

Are you serious???

How is Morrow gonna guard Lebron, Durant, Granger and all of those other great small forwards?? That is why we need to make a trade desperately!!! Maybe go for Gerald Wallace or Tayshaun Prince. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yfj5gyv or http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9omg5j

Complicated but works all the way around.

It makes more sense for Charlotte money wise

They don’t want Jack and Cleveland does and to clear space they lose Z (he’s to stiff) and West. And we get Crash.Houston needs a center and they get Z and West replaces TMac. It makes more sense in a weird way.

“makes more sense” = “makes it exponentially less likely to happen.”

There will be no extra point!

Charlotte won't take Maggs and Jack

Houston needs a 2 without TMac and a center, and Cleveland gets Jack without losing a whole lot of size. But yes, very unlikely.

Cleveland won't let Z go

They already said they wanna keep all their bigs to help against the bigs of the east in Boston and Orlando.

again

my concern is how they’re going to fare on the defensive end of the backcourt. Huston is almost certainly going to go small for basically the entire year so this back court will work against them. Against bigger guards, like Baron Davis, it is a cause of concern for me. But against Huston, this lineup will be fine.

I think that this will only be for teams like Houston or a team like Charlotte

Teams that will probably play with small guards. But against a team like LA Fisher and Kobe vs Ellis and Curry a size issue. This should only be for special situations.

with Fisher and Kobe vs Ellis and Curry would be a size issue*

My bad.

id keep the lineup anyways

or else wed have jax as the primary playmaker…which is awful..

by GSWBALL on Oct 24, 2009 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions

as if we could have stopped Kobe with a larger lineup?

Heck no! Just play your best players. Kobe does not want to have to guard Monta either. He can not stay in front of him.

Just a thought

What makes Baron “Baron!!!” is that he is a matchup problem for 80 percent of the PG’s in the NBA…thing is Baron will have to gaurd Monta and Steph too!, and if he isnt motivated to do that, then they’ll make up the difference. Deron Williams will also be tough for this line up…etc….etc…Monta and Steph need to show they can be a PROBLEM as a tandem…and thats what were all waiting to seee…5 days and lets play some hoop

Big woop

The starting lineup, especially for the home opener doesn’t mean much. Morrow, buike, randolph or whoever are going to be good off the bench. Nelson’s minutes aren’t always dedicated to the people on the starting lineup. Remember last year when DeMarcus Nelson started the first game? what happened to him .. lol
