So is this the starting line-up we are going forward with...

[Guest]

Just wondering if this is it. We have about +/-16 games left in the regular season, does LD stick with this line-up or will he still be tinkering. I think he needs to settle on a lineup and rotation so players get comfortable with what their roles will be come playoffs.

[WraithSentinel]

I would settle in on this line-up. i just like the make-up of it. It is by far our best defensive line-up. JJ is more effective at SF this year.

i dont like it at all hinrich needs to play backup pg

it I think it should be it, we don't face anyone who would make us go 'big' (unless we do tonight) until Orlando in 2 weeks and Boston after that (if shaq is back). But I disagree about the 'roles', those should be already defined and shouldn't change regardless of your starting status. And in any line-up, Marvin should not be in one anymore barring injury.

Agreed. Should be Teague/JJ/Damien/Josh/Al imo.

[RedDawg#8]

Agreed. Should be Teague/JJ/Damien/Josh/Al imo.

that would be a very scrappy lineup, any lineup with Daminen+ the starters would be a great Defensive lineup

[ngc7]

exactly imagine a bench of hinrich crawford marvin and a mixture of our crappy bigs

[niremetal]

We will need Hinrich on the floor with the starters in the playoffs, particularly in crunch time (when his physical style of D works best, because the refs swallow their whistles). And Kirk's not a SG. I think Teague as PG to start is fine, but he won't be finishing big games. Not yet.

[ngc7]

def want hinrich to finish . i like the energy teague brings at the beginning. only leave him in at the end if he is on fire like the other night

[macdaddy]

I'd like to see Teague/Joe/Josh/Al/Zaza now. But this constantly juggling roles late in the year is hurting. Josh plays SF on offense whether he's actually playing it or not so I don't see where it matters much. Teague needs to continue to get comfortable out there. Guys knew what to do with Bibby out there. they haven't figured it out with Kirk and JT yet. Having Jamal run the point sucks.

I bet Teague will be back on the bench for the Heat game.

I expect Marvin to get the start vs. James.

[sasuke]

pg- Hinrich

sg- Damien

sf- JJ

pf- Smith

c- Al

I just hate small ball on back courts. At some point it will give you a mismatch.

[frankthetank966]

Its probably the best starting lineup with our current team. LD just has to learn how to rotate his players.

True. Marvin will have to be in on James. You know I'm bashing Marv in the other post but one thing i noticed last night is the dude is still very quick with his feet and hands for being such a lumbering load.

I see Hinrich and Bibby getting into a fight in this game.

I hate Marvin! We need to drop his a$$ after this year.

[Crank]

That lineup sucked all it does is put even more pressure to step up on three guys who have clearly shown they cant handle it . Teague and Kirk = the worst starting backcourt in the league

[BrazilianHawk]

I dunno.

Problem is if we go Teague-Kirk-JJ-Smoove-Horf... then we are playing NO power forward. I don't think I like this setup.

I'd rather have Zaza playing C and move Al to PF. Teague as backup PG, so our 2nd unit would have Teague, Craw and Marv. And Damien of course.
