How about this starting 5....

When Chris "secret of" MIhm comes back from the shoulder injury, how about if we kept Kwame at the starting 5, and cookie at the 4 and bring Mihm off the bench. I think Kwame responds better when playing center. Mihm would still get considerable minutes(more than Kwame), ,and Kwame's psyche doesn't crumble because he has to come off the bench.

Just a thought.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Put the crackpipe down!

Mihm is top-15 among starting NBA centers in points, rebounds and blocks.

He's top-15 among that same group in FG%.

He's our starting center for good reason, and the best player we have
aside from Kobe and LO.

Look Country Crock, your stock won't rise THAT dramatically just cuz
Kwame has to butter his hands an extra 20 mins per game.

If Kwame starts more than 10 more games this year and at all nexy year, I will officially admit that Mitch sucks and Phil only won rings becuase of Shaq/Kobe- Jordan/Pippen.

Kwame is by far the sorriest STARTER in the NBA. Name one person sorrier? I bet you cant.

Sasha/Smush
Kobe/Smush
Odom/George
Cook/Kwame
Mihm/Bynum

This is how the line-up should be, with Smush getting more minutes than Sasha by backing up both positions. Odom with 38 and Cook with 28. Mihm with 30 and Bynum with 8. George with 20 and Kwame with 10, Turiaf with 10. Kwame sucks and has no potential. He only has a big body which is good against man 2 man defense against bigger players.

Say it with me- "KWAME SUCKS, KWAME SUCKS"

You have to start Mihm. Early success is very important with Chris. As far as PF or C, just put Kwame on the stronger post player. If the opposing team comes with a quick PF then Cookie or LO should play the 4, but Chris has to start.

No.

Kwame and Cook is not a good defensive tandem.

They need Mihm's shotblocking inside. He isn't a great shotblocker, but he is a good one. At the very least - he tries to be aggressive on help defense.

Can't say that about Kwame or Cook ..

Smush (35min)/Sasha/Mckie (Sasha tries but can't defend)
Kobe/Mckie/Sasha
Odom/George
Cook/Kwame/Odom/Turiaf
Mihm/Kwame (Kwame plays well defending big men)

Mckie is coming back this month last reported. I wont even play Walton a minute. We need Cook starting cause we need the extra shooter on the floor. Kwame should understand his role on a team: As a defensive/rebounding UTILITY PLAYER ala Dennis Rodman. He will probably complain about not starting but he should play 30min backing up Mihm and Cook.

i like bounty's idea. We'd have to play some sort of zone defense though and not man to man. But anything is better than smush allowing PG and PG to burn him. Smush is only a minor upgrade from Atkins....
