Starting lineup vs Hornets

[Riverwalkman]

Duncan has been listed as the Power Forward his entire NBA career. What he does on the court doesn't change that.

I remember once(or more) someone asked the same question, and D228 replied with the same answer. Isn't it a basic knowledge for a real Spurs fan?

[KenziE]

OMG YES!!!

Lets start Antonio McDyess who admitted is not in shape.

Or DeJuan Blair who is nervous to begin with and probably is tossing and turning as we speak.


Its not about who starts, its about who finishes.

Re ing lax.

hahaha

I foresee both Bonner and Finley starting for the beginning of the season. While they may not be our most talented pieces, they both seem to be in playing shape and are acclimated to the system. They'll be able to get the Spurs out on the floor and at least try to set the right tone. And having weapons off the bench isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Once the newer guys start to get into a groove, I think (hope) both of them will end up with bench roles.

Reason has no place here.

Regrettable, but true.

[PDXSpursFan]

No Boner, No Finley, No Mason please. BEST 5 should start PERIOD and set the tone for the season:

TD
TP
Manu
RJ
McDyess.

[Whisky Dog]

ESPN has their gameday predicted starters as Parker, Finley, Jefferson, McD, and Duncan.

From what I remember last year Mason played better as a starter so I have no idea why he wouldn't start tonight.

[My Fault]

I'll go with Parker/Mason/RJ/Bonner/Duncan.

+1

The meltdown that comes following is gonna be great.

Just heard the same of ESPN 1250 The Zone.

I can understand why Pop would start Bonner for now, but Finley? GMAFB!

You're correct. Mason did indeed play better as a starter, than off the bench. Did he suddenly go "belly up" over the summer?

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley is much worse as a bench guy than Mason IMO..Roger has SOME ability to create his own shot, Finley doesn't, so I don't mind it..Finley doesn't seem to play well off the bench for some reason..they're both bad defensively, so that's not a big issue..

I would love to see 'Dice starting though..I feel like Bonner would be a big asset to have against other team's bench units, and McDyess matches up better against starters from a defensive standpoint..

wtf is this blasphemy?

The only thing Blair tosses and turns is the great ocean as if he is the God Poseidon himself!

[sabar]

Finley and Bonner will start and the others will have to earn that spot with the minutes they get. This is how it's been for years for most NBA teams and it isn't changing now.

[duncan228]

Monroe was right. Starters: Parker, Finley, Jefferson, Bonner and Duncan.
