Don't matter if he starts, he'll get the bulk of D-ing up Joker with AD then McGee/Morris at time. Joker will get tons of foul calls after the soft complaints from Nuggs so Dwight gotta be focus 100, no cheap fouls |

Let McGee get the early fouls when Joker's fresh, and bring Dwight in for the bulk of the minutes, Morris whenever a tired Joker sits. |

Well, it mattered enough for the coaches in Game 1 so I won't be surprised if he does. Maybe we start McGee to prevent DH from getting into early foul trouble. |

He deserves to if he keeps playing with that game 1 energy. But as others have stated, as long as he gets the majority of the C minutes it doesn’t matter too much. |

No need to change things. Bring him in when he is needed. You guys love to change things up win or lose. I think you get bored. |

No, we need McGee as a “fluffer” per se. Then the real star comes in to finish the job. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant |

Yes, I would stick with McGee starting especially after all the Denver whining about Howard pushing Jokic around in Game 1.
Look for a lot of ticky tack foul calls on the Lakers bigs tonight unfortunately. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Yes, because it would not allow Joker to get off early start, and get him in early foul trouble... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

No. Refs will call the game right on the Lakers to start and Dwight will pick up 2 fouls in the first 3 minutes if he starts. |

Yes, obviously he should start and get most of his minutes against Jokic. _________________ Under New Management |

Yes. All of McGee's minutes should be against Plumlee |

No, we want to give McGee rhythm minutes at the start to keep him fresh and mentally engaged. It also allows Dwight to play his ultra aggressive style because of minimal concern of foul trouble.
Then wear out, beat up physically, and beat down the court Jokic til we've won game No.2. |

Dwight is a foul magnet. We need him for the end game. Start JaVale, let him get in Jokic's head. Nikola has shown he's easily frustrated. If we can get him in foul trouble Malone will have to go to Mason Plumlee early. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I expect him to be in foul trouble early and often. Any time he's not, I'm surprised. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

I've felt like Dwight should have been starting for most of the season. That having been said, I think there is something to say for letting McGee start and then just limiting his minutes. It will keep him engaged and give him a chance to come out and play with some energy. If he doesn't bring it, go to Dwight for the majority of the minutes. |

I'm afraid you're right but as long as AD gets the same courtesy, our front court would still destroy theirs |
