    JR Smith is trigger happy and doesn't play good defense. Starting line-up can feature Carmelo and Nene on offense without JR Smith making bone-headed and ball-hogging plays. Dahntay Jones will "D" up and focus mostly on that.

    I thought JR Smith was going to start as well because I didn't think Karl was smart enough not to start him. But, guess Karl is actually thinking big picture.

    Maybe because like you said........."a spark off the bench is great".

    I mean Houston should start Aaron Brooks (he's clearly better than Rafer), but it probably won't happen, because he's our best bench player right now.

    Artest is a better ovrl player than Battier, but when Battier comes back Artest is going to the bench....because Battier fits better with the starting lineup.....and Artest is a good fit to be our #1 option with the second unit.

    It's about team needs and which rotations that work the best......not about ovrl talent.
