But I would prefer to see Jack starting at the 2 guard to set that physical tone early on, especially against the Lakers.

Imo.

I tend to agree. Though Jack would start as the 2, he'd actually cover Metta, and KL would check Kobe with shot-blocking behind him.

Disagree. Green, while not as physical as Jackson, is very disruptive. Green routinely is a defensive pest, getting into passing lanes, providing on-the-ball pressure and challenging shots. I love him because of his long arms and his streaky shooting. Of course Jack is a streaky shooter too, so that's kind of a wash. Let's also remember that Green isn't afraid of championship moments, having won, and been an integral part of, a college championship at UNC. He's no stranger to big moments.

I say leave him where he is, but I do expect Jack to get big minutes as part of the playoff rotation.

And I don't like the idea of Jax and Kawhi starting next to eachother. Both are challenged ball handlers and struggle when asked to dribble too much.

I'm wondering if starting Jack would help get him into an offensive rhythm. After the first few games post trade he's dropped off dramatically on O. That said, I would start him over Leonard instead of Danny. Leonard is still just a 20 year old rookie and if I know Pop (cough Hill in 2009 cough) then he will probably be lucky to play 15 minutes every night in the post season anyway.

I've come to the conclusion that the two rooks look like they will pull through just fine, for awhile I was worried about Khawi but he's gotten over his "wall" now. They both have proved they can contribute in big games and be counted on. I say leave things alone.

Green & Leonard are also both really hot right now from beyond the arc not to mention logging a much higher %, Jackson's 3pt shooting is abysmal. With the team's offense revolving so much around Parker getting into the paint he's going to benefit alot more from that space those two will provide.

No.

I like Green staring and Jax getting his cheer on the bench. Then Jax coming in to kick some shit.

Don't change a thing.

I figure with Tony running the point, ball handling for the other 4 on the floor is not as critical. Just be ready to run fast breaks and set up shop at the 3 point line.

I would just sub Diaw for Blair and keep the rest. No reason to start changing everything.

Danny Green is playing his heart out right now, it would be unfair to sit him, it could damage his confidence.

If things are working, do not touch them;

Stephen has accepted his bench role and limited minutes, does everything pretty well, except shoot, which he has NEVER done efficiently, so can't be now expected to be 45% FG killer.
