Whether Afflalo, Ben or Temple start really doesn't make a difference IMO. They are all below average players and all three can't give you consistent deep shooting, so in Joerger's instance, he wanted to go with more speed and athleticism. However, I don't understand randomly throwing him in the starting unit after not playing him for a few games.
That said, we don't know what happened behind the scenes between Arron and Joerger, maybe nothing happened, who knows? No explanations are needed, you don't need to explain every single move you make to the media. Some things are better off being behind closed doors, let the media speculate about the rest. What it all boils down to is roster imbalance, a trade or two needs to be made here, otherwise keep the roster you have and you will surely end up in the lottery again.
Ben was 3-11 FGs last game. Give A-Slow-0 those same minutes and he's 1-4 Fgs or 2-4 FGs. Though the shots did not go in they were good shots. We need proper shot distribution. Our best best player cannot be jacking 25-30 shots a night....its going to wear him down and burn him out!
Boogie was 10-16 FGs against the Mavs...the fact that our SG was aggressive and looked to score is welcome. A-Slow-o drags down the dynamics of the starting unit and is incapable of getting and making shots unless we are going to post him up over and over. The guy is on a steep decline with old knees and only a guy like Vlade who never relied upon athleticism would disregard an obvious fact and gift him $12M + $2M in free money.
Before last game I declared to salvage our season we needed a new SG (Temple, Ben), a new PF (Willie) AND/OR a trade or else we are doomed. I am hopeful although it was 4-5 games too late that Joerger seems to be on same page. Ben can make the shots he missed and if he gets consistent minutes he will prove that.
Lastly, as I have said before, A-Slow-o is SF not a SG....and he can be effective behind Rudy with Omri swinging to PF....and Matt Barnes benched or waived. Even though I think A-Slow-o is a borderline NBA player at this point of his career, Barnes is a washed up player, so I'd give minutes to a borderline guy before a washed up guy.
Tonight is a must win. Assuming Ben starts, and after win in Dallas, I think the Kings will respond and take care of business. This is a payback game and if this team is not in the mood for payback, they may as well call off the rest of the season. No more postponing being respectable. Put up or shut up.
