Thompson and Greene should start

DeMoN

Bench
Both are looking good off the bench and are willing to make plays and not stand around and do nothing! Also, I dont think we'll be any good until Jimmer gets enough games under his belt, a Thornton/Evans backcourt will not work due to no playmakers! Tyreke and Thornton just stand around like "Why do i not have the ball?".

Translating this into something that might actually happen, there is a lesson to be learned that of course won't be: our front office and our coaching staff screwed up by acquiring TOO many scorers. Its not a video game. You don't need half a dozen of them. And in fact it makes it hard to function as a team. When we get roleplayers on the court, and yes, some of our old big 6'11" type roleplayers, we all of a sudden look better. Not because they are better players, but simply because what they do complements the scorers rather than conflicting with them. Moving wihtout the ball, spotting up, swinging the ball without much thought, it helps the scorers, and it helps the team. But we stacked so many goddamn scorers up in our Top 8 that I don't even know how to get those guys major minutes. Bench Hickson and ruin his trade value (effectively trading Omri for nothing)? Give Donte the handful of minutes Outlaw was getting? Whatever it is, we need more roleplayers in the rotation at all times to try to grease the grinding of the stars wheels.
 
No, they shouldn't.

BUT If I see JJ Hickson and ****ing Travis Outlaw come in next game over those two i'm going to lose my mind. I didn't want Westphal 3 years ago when we hired him, and I haven't like him as a coach of this team ever since. The least he can do is reward two of the players who actually showed up tonight.

They are best friends, everyone on the team likes them, they have been here for a while, and most importantly they are better players.

Tomorrow night JT and Greene should check in together towards the end of the 1st quarter for Cousins and Salmons. Thats how it should be. We'll see what happens.

Actually were pretty terrible in NBA2k12 too. I had to simulate this season to even feel like playing.

Don't know how to solve the Hickson problem, but Greene and Garcia should be getting all of Outlaw's minutes. He's useless.

Exactly! I don't understand why he's getting major minutes. He used to be kinda good, but hes washed up now. All he does it chuck up shots and brick, cant even play decent defense.
