I understand the change but I worry about the effects it'll have with the second unit. IMO, Henry is a better defender than Nick Young is. That's part of what made the bench so good is their ability to defend and make things uncomfortable for the other team.
We'll see though. Nick Young will probably flourish with the second unit with the running and gunning they do.. and Xavier Henry will probably have a field day playing off of Pau with his ability to cut and also come off curls for the mid-range jumper which we haven't seen alot of.
Can't wait for the game now!
I'm also coming around to Wesley Johnson at the 4 spot. Mike D'Antoni might have something there..
I want to see Henry hit his shots today. He has been a bit off. He needs to get into that mid-range zone.
His shot bugs me a little. He has potential, but hes too robotic. Hes thinking his shot through in "steps" instead of it being one nice fluid motion. LO was the same way. I HATE seeing that pause at the top before the release, they exaggerate it way too much and they lose so much of their upward momentum. They are what i used to call "Arm" shooters. We no longer have the rifleman on the payroll do we? Such a shame.....
According to the official NBA site, the game will be on 9:30 PM ET, and not 10:30
DST is over
Since DST is over It'll be 10:30 for me. But my time in the OP was always correct. _________________

Game four, still early. This roster is relatively new. I hope D'amtoni uses what he has prudently. Good substitutions are a must. Please, Please, Please, play Hill before the fourth quarter. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think Shawne Williams is a better athlete and defender than Hill and him being in the starting line up is to stop guys like Blake Griffin and to compensate for Gasol's lack of a defensive game. But Jordan has earned more playing time, I think he's a better fit for the 2nd unit. Imo, the Lakers are just a better team without Nash. We don't need 2 slow guys starting.

Never been a fan of Williams. Saw the Memphs vs UCLA at MSG 2008. Farmar had a better game. I've always thought Williams was overrated. UCLA won by 1 _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I edited the OP. Sunday games are always 6:30 pm PT/9:30 pm ET.

MDA needs a new training camp with these young guys so i don't think we should judge him on how this season goes =) _________________
This should be a win, but you can't count the Hawks out, they play hard and will do so against the Lakers, they like us have a lot to prove!
With X in the starting lineup, this should be interesting. I predict that Williams will also move out of this lineup and back to the bench as Kaman will ultimately take his spot!
Williams will probably be better served off the bench.
Thank God Steve Blake aint starting at the 2. Well have Nick Young or X on him.
Uhm, sorry to break this to you. But Swag is the one who got benched. Bagel still gets the start.
Yep and I updated to the OP. _________________
