Is Justin Williams on the active roster tonight?...

[tyrant]

well they should use him. at least bring him off the bench. give 10 minutes. more if he's actually doing something. i know everyones sick of losing; i know IM sick of watching us give up 50 points in the paint a night.

I say we throw caution to the winds and start him at the 5, moving Brad to the 4...

Bonzai! I like the way you think. If it ain't working try something different. Just let the kid warm up a little before putting the game on his shoulders.

No, what's "retarded" is people acting as though Justin Williams is going to miraculously turn this franchise around.

It's far from retarded to think he could make big difference however.

While Williams might make a modest impact, there is no guarantee that he will get minutes in the first place. However, while Rick Adelman would have kept him stuck on the bench, with Musselman and his "strange" substitutions...anything is certainly possible. I'm all for the boat of trying to showcase new players, given that players such as Cisco and Salmons have had hot streaks coupled with cold streaks (in other words, inconsistencies), and Williams' tenacity for rebounding and shotblocking may be something we have not seen for a while. I still think his game lacks polish and that he generally lacks NBA experience, but hey...give him 6-10 minutes, see what he can do. If he pans out, stick with it. If not, uhmm...continue moving forward...or erm, downward.

How do You know that ?

RA never had a team that was as bad as this one.

I think Justin Williams should break out the "Practice" speech.

"It's not about winning. It's about practice?!"

Wow, how quickly people forget the start of last season!
