Means Cuz matched up with Griffin a lot. Those two not best friends
Small problem. You forgot Anderson, who it seems might just start tomorrow instead of Gentle Ben.

I think he will start soon, just not a good matchup in with 2 of 3 against Clippers. Clippers play Josh Smith at the 5 off the bench, so Willie could conceivably come in with the bench unit and make a difference. I imagine Karl will use Collison, Bellinelli, Ben or Anderson, Casspi, WCS as the bench unit with maybe one of Cuz or Gay always thrown in there if he doesn't want to go 10 deep and keep the rotation at eight or nine bodies.

George Karl Likely starting Kosta Koufos: 'I don't think Willie Cauley-Stein should be indoctrinated into the NBA by covering Blake Griffin'

Yup cause Koufos can stay in front of Griffin. And I don't wanna even here about DMC guarding him just put WCS on him and let's go.
Gay will have a field day on these guys they have nobody to guard him. I also like our bench vs there's Crawford/Rivers stand 0 chance vs Collison/Marco.

The biggest question for me will be when the Clipps go to a zone defense on the Kings what will they do? And by they I mean the Clipps when Cuz is draining 3's all night long!

Stop it. If we start Anderson... we're clearly preferring stability and vet leadership to start the season. Even if he starts 25 games... I just really don't care. Ben will play and get his chances. Start Koufos, start Anderson, fine.
First, knock it off with the "stop it". It's condescending and unneeded.
We have "vets" starting at 4 other positions. I don't see that as a huge need at the 2. We need defense and shooting-and over the course their careers Anderson hasn't been a big upgrade there. And there had been plenty of posts on here demonstrating the lack of stability/consistency that Anderson has brought over his career. If Anderson starts and Marco plays, Ben isn't playing much unless we plan to go really small and use one of those guys as a backup 3 with casspi at the 4.
This is the first year in bens short career where we aren't stuck playing him 30+ minutes a night but I think there's very limited upside to giving his minutes to a career "meh" player in Anderson.

Tough game. Clippers are a deep, experienced team. We will lose, if we try to outgun them from 3.
Bring Jordan in foul trouble and the only big body they have is Aldridge. We would have a clear advantage inside with our length.
And for the love of god dont turn the ball over and let them run.....

Your original post in a game thread is probably misplaced. I'm with Hammer on this one....irregardless of how one feels for Ben or Anderson. If they start Anderson, then Karl thinks for that game it's the best option. If they start Ben, then I hope Ben does well.
If Anderson starts tonight, we'd better trade McLemore tomorrow, because we've officially wasted yet another draft pick. This team is not going to have a rotation of three shooting guards, especially when Karl plans to play Rondo and Collison together for stretches.
Anderson is a bum. He's always been a bum, and he's always going to be a bum. But, that's neither here nor there because, bum or not, he might actually be the better fit for the starting lineup. If Karl genuinely believes that Anderson is the better fit then, fine, start him. But, let's be real: if McLemore is pulled out of the starting lineup, he becomes the fifth guard in a four-guard rotation. And, if that's the case, you might as well try to get something out of him now, rather than let him rot on the bench. You can get some other bum at the league minimum to wave a towel.

How was it misplaced. I was responding to other posts about Anderson starting over Ben.

Couldn't agree more.
If Anderson is the guy then absolutely, you deal Ben ASAP. Because we know Belinelli is getting his minutes. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Marco plays the majority of minutes at SG despite coming off the bench.
And McLemore's value would plummet with every game he spends on the bench getting spot duty or racking up DNP-CDs.
What if he replaces "stop it" with "stop what you're doin', cause I'm about to ruin, the image and the style that you're used to"?
That would be fine

Anthony Davis looked good hanging around the perimeter jacking 3's last night. 0-everything and his team got crushed... Green was just too tough a match up down low hahahaha...that's a game Anthony Davis can win by himself if he get hot and in a zone down low...GS can't guard him... But he took himself out of it.
