    When Parker is back.. who should come of the bench?

    All 3, Manu, Hill, RJ playing well as a starter.. so who should come of the bench?

    I would keep Hill in starting line up and add keith bogans, and have Manu and RJ come of the bench. I know it would be the same line up when Parker was playing but you can clearly see RJ play better with Manu so why don't take advantage of it..

    Starter: Mcdyess, Duncan, Bogans, Hill, Parker.

    Bench: Bonner, Blair, RJ, Hairston/Mason, Manu

    This way Manu can handle the ball with Mason...

    what you guys think?

    I would go..

    Parker
    Ginobili
    Jefferson
    Mcdyess
    Duncan

    Hill
    Bonner
    Blair
    Bogans

    Hairston
    Mason

    For the first time since Manu became a bench player, the Spurs now have a guy that can take over and provide instant offense when Manu isn't there, George Hill..I'd go with the 5 best..more importantly, Manu has regained his shooting touch, which means the starting lineup would have better spacing, which was an issue earlier in the season..

    Benching Parker hurts Duncan's game, so I'd rather he stays in the starting lineup..also, Tony will probably be fresh since he's had so much rest, the spacing will help..

    I don't see any reason to bench Parker or Ginobili, and since Jefferson doesn't play well without creators, he shouldn't come off the bench either..

    Bogans shouldn't start under any cir stance IMO..

    As much as I hate having the Centerpiece in the starting lineup, it's the only thing that makes sense.

    Hill seems to have established himself as a starter, and I'm fairly sure Pop will go back to using him alongside Parker once Tony returns.

    I agree that wherever Manu goes, RJ needs to go.

    Mason just doesn't have his head in the game, and Hairston is too green.

    That only leaves one other rotational player to fill the gap...Keith B0hgans.

    I think we have to keep this starting 5 lineup for the rest of the season and have Parker come off the bench. This is the best stretch of basketball we've had all season and I think it would be disastrous to tinker with the lineup now.

    I think Parker coming off the bench and leading the 2nd unit would be great to watch. Hill, Manu and RJ have to be in the starting lineup.

    bring manu off the bench

    TP
    GHill
    RJ
    TD
    Dice

    Manu

    Let Tony see how he can play with RJ for the couple of games to see if chemistry can be built. if they look horrible, you can bring TP of the bench (i doubt that happens), or start Manu with RJ and TP and bring Goerge of the bench. though i personally believe there's too many scorers in there at once eith that lineup.

    Parker should come off the bench until he gets in rhythm. Then, switch with Hill.

    ginobili and parker should lead each group. surround TP and TD with shooters. TD and Manu with slashers.

    The best players should start! Period.

    Hill and Blair proved they can handle their part...
