    Damn. what would you do if you were Adelman? Artests offensive post-up style play works right into the Spurs defensive strengths...and Kevin Martins slashing was killing us last night...Would you start Artest Friday or go with the lineup that almost won game 2?

    I do not think SA would have had the open looks from downtown, had Artest been in the game. I think Artest starts.

    KMart was effective, but it was he, plus Bonzi and SAR, three together who killed us for 81 points

    Will we see so much from SAR, especially, again?

    And Artest has a hurt-shooting hand.

    I'd be surprised if Kevin starts, but he might get a lot of minutes if he keeps playing like that.

    You go back to your starting five. You really can't expect Martin, SAR, and Bonzi to have another "game of their life" type effort.

    I will say this though. I actually think the Spurs are better off WITH Artest in the lineup, because he will take a lot of shots that won't fall. That's what happens when you have a guy that is a "legend in his own mind" playing.

    Thats exactly what I mean. Kings clearly had better ball movement with Artest out of the lineup.

    DO YOU want Artest on your bench feeling slighted for minutes.

    I'm sure this is going to work out great for Addelman.

    Given the way Nazr has played at times I'd start Martin, Artest, and Thomas as my frontcourt, and put Martin on Nazr. It's gimmicky but they have nothing to lose, and I haven't seen anything that would make me think that Nazr could really make them pay for that line up.
