Who finishes games is FAR more important than who starts.

At first I thought these "Start______________" were just a reaction to a bad start but now they are becoming ridiculous.

Now people are calling to replace our leading scorer out of the starting lineup with someone who hasn't played a single game this year.

And they aren't calling to replace him with some well established long term NBA starter or some up and coming stud who his been producing off the bench. Nope, let's replace ray Allen, the best shooting SG in the entire NBA this year, with a bench role player who starts on occasions and who has average double figures once in his career and never shot at levels that Ray has in his worst seasons.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, defense hasn't been this team's problem after the first 2 games. This teams problems have been on the offensive end. removing ray from the starting lineup makes this team worse.

This is a horrible idea and I hope these type of threads start to decrease and end. They just make no sense so far with this team.

the starting 5 mesh together well. switching any of the big 4 would not decrease the potential/effectiveness of them
