Marco vs Danny starting?

You play the hot hand. Things like this aren't always pre-determined.

that is so wrong and cancerous.

Something Pop never does. Pop> hot hand

After watching more an more of Manu with Marco, I dont want him to start anymore. In order to play with Tony who have to stand an shoot. Manu is a waaaaay better passer, which Marco needs. I vote no start for Marco. Plus I like those Super Subs shirts. : )

What about in crunch time? Who plays Manu, Green, or Marco? Each has a strong case!

Agree. Danny excels in defense, Manu in playmaking and Marco in his shooting ability

I don't agree about Green being a great defender. He'll show flashes of defensive skills and then wander around lost at times. Just like his shooting, he isn't consistent.

And his ball handling continues to be bush league. Give him the ball with any responsibility to bring it up court or even make moves in the offense and he looks like a deer in the headlights.

Without the pressure of starting, He might actually thrive off the bench as a catch and shoot 3 pt shooter. I'm sure Pop is also looking at the box stats and wondering what he is doing on the court as a starter.

among those who played enough, Danny Green has the 2nd defensive rating in the league, behind Tiago and ahead of Hibbert. And that is despite defending for two (which is why you see him flying around so often).

Green definitely makes an impact on defense:

Defense: Pts per 100 Poss:

On Court: 92.1
Off-court: 104.4
Net: -12.3

That's really, really good. On the flip side, his On/Off numbers on offense have been horrendous but his defense is legit.
