When Ron comes back- who goes to the bench

[Semi]

Oh and if you're talking about the lineup once Bibby is back I would do the following:

Start:

PG: Bibby
SG: Martin
SF: Artest
PF: Moore
C: Miller

Bench:

PG: Salmons/Garcia
SG: Douby
SF: Garcia/Salmons/Thomas
PF: Watkins/Abdur-Rahim
C: Hawes

I think Salmons and Garcia are both acceptable PG's for the bench squad and both can equally play the SF spot. Would depend on matchups at that point. But if I had to put an order on it I would give Salmons the edge for PG leaving Garcia at the SF.

I definitely vote send Salm on the bench, coze we desperatly need him as 6 man like B-Jax was. Instead of Moor/Thomas Hawes must play with Brad. If Brad will continue his
revivle, we can get rebounding from him.

cisco to the bench. ron cant play the 4. we need his defense on the perimeter. if salmons was a better defender i would move ron to the 4 until hawes came back. thomas and moore are just not getting it done. they average a combined 4 points and 7 rebounds a game. just not gona cut it. but when ron gets back beno will be back and hopefully hawes.

beno
martin
artest
hawes
miller

I like that...finally i found someone who is kinda seeing things the way i see them.

 

[tyrant]

my mistake. they only average 5 boards a game between them.

 

[Gary]

I'm against starting Ron at 4.

I would rather put Hawes in as starting center, and put Miller at PF. Or the other way around since Hawes is faster at this point than Miller.

Than I would keep Ron at SF, Martin at SG, and Salmons at PG. Benching Garcia.

wish we still had the big nasty. his rebounding sucked, but at least he could put up points. rebounding is the result of missed shots. Corliss' 9/10 a game wouldnt of let our rebounding look as bad

 

[bench_blob]

Garcia plays better as a starter and we need his playmaking abilites --- Salmons is effective either way, starter or sub, and is used to being aggressive right off the bench....Garcia drifts and flubs unless he gets steady minutes....Theus will keep Garcia as a starter, and make Salmons the 6th man once Artest returns. Am I not the only one who sees this as obvious?

It's not about seeing something as obvious. It's about discussing the possibilities. And what you and some of the others aren't remembering is that Reggie is all about intensity and focus. Whoever does the job gets the minutes.

We need Garcia's playmaking abilities but we can sure do without the other side of the coin - the bone-head errors.

"Garcia drifts and flubs unless he gets steady minutes" is an awful lot like the comments made about why Kenny Thomas needs to start.
