wrong, why would you want to change the line-ups. I dont think farmar should start. but i think fisher will eventually move down to SG. bynum and powell work good together.

FISH
KOBE
ARIZA
GASOL
BYNUM

FARMAR
SASHA
VLAD
LAMAR
POWELL

FARMAR
SASHA
LUKE/LO
POWELL
BYNUM

Lamar looked pretty good coming off the bench in the Win vs. the Sacremento Queens. Here’s my proposed line-ups:

Kobe/Sasha
Fisher/Farmar
Bynum/mBenga
Gasol/Powell
VladRad/Odom

finally phil had the cajones put LO on the bench. we are going to be more deadly with LO coming off the bench, just like that one guy said earlier, it would be like manu ginobili, we have enough scoring and rebounding wiht the starting 5 ariza just gives us more of a defensive team, LO would simply push the offense and do whatever LO does w/ the second unit. hey that second unit is not bad, LO,machine,rad man,luke,whoever.

Phil is not being truthful about ‘leaving a guy in if he is doing well”. That has been one of our bigger complaints about Phil. If a guy is hot he takes him out and you don”t see him again until he has cooled down and become demovated. He needs to ride a hot hand sometimes when it is not Kobe. I sometimes wonder if there is something in a contract that says Kobe has to take the most shots or be the leading scorer every night. This would be a better team if they would stick with the hot hand and ride it until it cools off.

I’m starting to think this is a good idea because he looks lost out there with the starting 5.

ok, lamar is gonna play a role similar to manu ginobli. hes still gonna see starters minutes. when hes with the second unit he can run the offense and get better scoring opportunities, instead of watching kobe with the ball

This just means that Odom is going to be gone from the Lakers soon.
Once he is not wanted in the 2nd unit well you know the rest.
