PG - Caupain, Cobb
SG - KJ, Cobb, Morman
SF - Sanders, Shaq, Morman
PF - Clark, Moore, Shaq
C- Ellis, DeBerry

As the season goes on and everyone finds their role, there becomes less and less of a reason to experiment. It seems like the staff is pretty comfortable with the 5 starters and Cobb as the 6th man. So when we need to win a game, we aren't going to use backups in the 2nd half for extended minutes unless there is foul trouble. The way this team will continue to improve is for everyone to continue to have a defined role. If LD is just flying off the seat of his pants and using random lineups at all times, we'll never get where we want to go. Again, good for Morman and Moore and those guys for being ready to play, but they did their job. And the starters did theirs. That's how you pull out conference road games.

are you trying to say that you're sanders?

No way Morman was playing over any of those guys in crunch time. 2nd half of the season you need to stick as close to the top of the depth chart as possible, especially on the road. Plus, the starters played excellent defense the entire 2nd half. We couldn't afford a lapse from Morman on that end.

Here's the bottom line. We won the game and you will always be able to claim your opinion was the right one and I can't prove otherwise. We won't agree here so we should move on. All I can say in the end is that we won in spite of some of the coaching decisions yesterday. Our team has no studs. We have nobody scoring in double figures. Conventional wisdom gets thrown out the window when it comes to our team and going with the hot hand becomes way more applicable. But again, we won so lets move on to argue this point another day.

I can see where you're coming from, I think we can agree to disagree and move on.

I have done some flip flopping so far this season at the 2 and 3 about who needs to be in there. I think LD has settled in on the most effective starting lineup. We have two starters now who can shoot the 3 (decent) and that helps open up the inside out game. Thomas and Morman are not able to provide that. Cobb can but he has proven to be streaky. If he is streaky we can just wait for him to get hot and then keep him in there longer.

We need to pass it inside and let the defense decide whether to collapse or not and then kick it out or take a shot around the bucket accordingly.
