Who starts?

[Swish]

So who starts at power forward for the next few weeks in place of Smoove?

Zaza?

Marvin (starting JJ at the 3 and Mo at 2)?

Surely not Solo....

I'd vote for seeing what MW can do at the 4...what say you?

Al Horford Starts at power forward

[Swish]

OK PB....but....I assume you advocate Zaza at the 5.

I think we'd be better suited trying out the new Marvin at the 4.

The question was who starts at power forward and it will be Al Horford

Haha... no thanks.

Horford will most likely play the 4, Zaza will play the 5.

[Swish]

You're probably right guys...probably the safer move too but I bet Diesel really wants to see what Marvin can do against the PFs in the league ;)

[Plainview1981]

We will find out if Solo is worth a d@mn or not. He will likely be the first big man off the bench now.

I think Woodson is going to start Zaza and Horford in the lineup. He's tried them 2 together on many times in preseason.

I actually think Zaza at the 5 and Horf at the 4 won't be a huge downgrade as a starting line-up (as we will have some nice size). What really will matter is how guys off the bench play, mainly Solo, Morris and maybe Othella Hunter.

Defense. ZaZa is weak on the defensive end. That's where the difference will be mostly. The Hawks are going to have to score because they will be giving up more points now. So the scoring has to really go up now.

[Gray Mule]

Pachulia

Horford

Williams

Johnson

Bibby

Your new starting five until Smith returns.

This could change, depending on matchups, health and how things work out

for this group. Hawks have enough bench to make other combinations work

for starting five and who comes off the pine to give the starters a rest.

Horford!

[dalamchops]

I'd rather do

Bibby

JJ

Evans

Marv

Horford

Evans has a lot of starting experience, and he replaces Smoove's interior defense with better perimeter defense.

Even though they say 2 weeks, I'm guessing smoove comes back in 2 games.

[tonegully]

I want Solo to start. After last night i think putting him in the starting line up would really boost him self esteem and confidence. I mean we can always run zaza back in if solo doesnt show up. I always believe in going with the hot hand.

[DrReality]

I think this lineup will be another one that will help us in the long run. Giving Za and Al time on the floor together will be another option we can use during certain matchups. I look forward to seeing how it goes.

I'm guessing Zaza will start but will get subbed out rather quickly.

[tonegully]

Then why start him, i dont understand that logic. Zaza does give us that attitude, when he gets fired up so hopefully he can start the game like that tomorrow night

[Wurider05]

I don't think so D. He has a high ankle sprain. Those things take several weeks to heel properly. I hate for him to rush back and come up limp later in the season. I think that we will be okay without him as long as we maintain out team defense.

[DJlaysitup]

Yep...depending how he's doing.
