Hamilton becomes sixth man; lineup change is permanent

WOOHOO, The end of SB


Here are the nuts and bolts and ramifications of the move:
- Amir Johnson, who didn’t play in Monday’s win at Memphis, will be the starter alongside Rasheed Wallace most nights. But against really big teams – Curry cited the Lakers, with 7-footers Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol – Kwame Brown will be the starter.

- Hamilton will anchor a second unit that will include Antonio McDyess and Jason Maxiell at the power positions with Will Bynum at point guard.

- It’s not an experiment. “This is for the rest of the season,” Curry said.

WOOT

Sounds good. A difficult decision has finally been made. Hallelujah.

My only question:
Does WB at PG and Rip at SG means that AA = DNP or does he play SF as a member of bench small ball? In other words, is SB dead, or has it just gone to the bench?

Interesting. Maybe a precursor to a trade.

yea no mention of what there going to do about prince's backup.... thats a major issue too...

still would prefer AI getting the backup PG mins and AA getting the scrapes of the guard mins not bynum.

Straight dope.

Rip just got demoted by the ascension of Stuckey and the AI trade.

for the rest of the season

If Rip handles this like a big boy, it could make us a lot better.

Until a trade is made will AA go back to playing the closing seconds of quarters?

There just aren't any minutes for him.

I do not believe it 'til I see it. And I did not talk about UFO's

I have every right to remain sceptical: we have heard many promises from MC before the season and those turned to be rather empty.

read this stuff and by all accounts it is still higely likely that we'll see lots of small balling during usually crucial 4th quarter.

They need to figure out this AJ starting thing also. They probably have played their best with him starting, but those games have been against doormats for the most part.

I still prefer Kwame to start, but that would present a different set of problems. I just don't see AJ matching up against the elite teams of the league. His size makes him ideal for a bench player.
