should pop go with a different starting line up if allen is a no go

[ducks]

I say no

[ducks]

I would start big dog over barry though
but I would have done that for game one

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Any coach that tinkers with the rotation after whipping a team like the Spurs did in game 1 needs his head examined, as does a fan that would suggest same.

I just want him to do it so that I will get to read about how pop is greatest and worst thing to happen to coaching all in one forum.

[HB22inSA]

Absolutely not.

Pop already said he's not going to change anything because of one individual.

Pop is a matchups coach, but he's also a "flow" coach. The first five has found a nice groove here, and Manu coming off the bench creates matchup nightmares for Seattle.

To me, there would be a minor issue concerning how you divide minutes between Horry and Robinson duo in the absence of Radmanovic -- it was easy to play both when the Sonics could put both Radmanovic and Lewis on the floor; you might create a mismatch for yourself if you play them against guys like James, Evans, Fortson, and Collison, who will probably see more minutes in Radmanovic's absence.
