Roy... I must say, that starting lineup of yours is looking pretty shaky right now.
Gay and Amare are both being quite exposed as overrated, no D, inconsistent players with sour attitudes this year.
Go Wolves! ![Wink ;)](/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Back again! Big Ticket is actually being generous. Roy's starting five is looking shaky indeed. Iguodala at SG has thus far been a failure in Philly, he's only thrived at the 3 with the freedom to dominate the ball. T.J. Ford has again missed time and been in and out of the starting five. And nobody is hitting the 3. (I warned you Roy.)
But what about the Memphis Grizzlies? Well, er, drafting so many injury risks didn't work out well for me... But I'll hang my hat on being right about Lee, Foye and my rookies.
PF David Lee - Has done what I knew he could with starter's minutes in an uptempo offense. Should've been an All-Star.
SF Rudy Fernandez - No evidence yet that he can play the 3. But plenty of evidence that he can play at this level. Does Memphis have the next Slum Dunk champion?
C Andrew Bynum - Another major set back just as the kid was beginning to dominate again. An injury plagued career is certainly a possibility at this point.
SG Randy Foye - Also making me look smart. He's done well as a play-making SG in 'Sota.
PG Gilbert Arenas - Well, Memphis wasn't voted into the playoffs anyway...
It should be pointed out that all evidence shows Arenas's back up, Russell Westbrook is ready now, more or less.
PF David Lee/ J.J. Hickson
SF Rudy Fernandez/ Anthony Randolph
C Joel Anthony/ Chuck Hayes
SG Randy Foye/ Willie Green
PG Russell Westbrook/ Goran Dragic
Three major knee injuries do leave the bench stretched impossibly thin.
Gilbert Arenas - Knee (Return date not set)
Andrew Bynum - Knee (Out until March)
Dorell Wright - Knee (Close to a return)
