Shaking up the starting lineup

at the very end of the article I see this:


“Our second team kicks our first team in practice,” Brown said. “What does that tell you?”

That tells me that some of the current starters that aren't busting their ass, Should begin spending some quality time with the second unit.

I know UPS makes his share of mistakes, and some people say that he tries to dunk everything ( in my opinion, that is not a bad thing ) BUT I would be willing to insert him into the starting lineup for a few games juat to see if it wakes Wallace up.

But I have a very disturbing suspicion that if LB makes a change it would be to sneak McGuire into the starting lineup.

What lineup changes would you guys make?

I would let hendo start at the 2, bench gw, move jax to 3. I would also start Boris at 5 and insert TT to the 4 spot and bench Nazzy

DJ/Liv/UPS/Tyrus/Nazr

If only for one game, it'd wake some people the fuck up.

I'd start at least UPS...he has some energy out there. I think Crash needs to work against 2nd units to see if he can get is mojo back. It may also remind him to do the things that made him who he is. I'd like to start Tyrus, too and move Boris to center, but somebody has to come off the bench with energy and Tyrus seems to be able to do that well.

Yes yes yes yes!!!!!

how about this
dj/carroll/dom/najera/diop

[TattoodCats4life]

I think a lineup that has a shot to win, and wake up the "starters" would be
DJ/Carroll/Brown/TT/Nazr
or
Livingston/DJ/Jax/UPS/TT, that line would make for some INSANE mis-matches, but leave us without a center, and we all know what happens when the starting PG gets moved to SG for any length of time.

how about this
dj/carroll/dom/najera/diop

Take out DJ and put in Shaun Livingston and you have the worst possible line up. I would like to see more carroll. Diop over Kwame is debatable in my opinion cause Kwame is just that bad.

DJ/Jack/GW/Tyrus/Nazr

Let Diaw come off the bench. I think Diaw could be inspired to be a big 6th man.

Tyrus is our best player. Why start the game with him on the bench? I know he's been injured but he needs 35+ minutes a game.

:confused:

What is this...a game to see who can come up with the worst possible lineup in the league?

The obvious choice is to sub in Liv for DJ and see if he can add any leadership to the starting group. Swapping scrubs in at the other spots won't address what we're really missing...nor will giving TT 35 mpg.

Street ball sure is fun to watch (sometimes) but it never wins in the NBA.

Im game for it as long as the main starters (ahem Jack, Wallace, Diaw) take it the right way and not feel defeated. That can mes with someone big time.
