How you can finish this game and not have the following lineup start next week would be beyond me.

Simpkins is our best player, and when players hit the shots Clark gets them we are a scary team

Clark
Simpkins
Staton-McCray
Dar
Hines

Sha has been tremendous in the second half against the worst four teams in the league, but he has to put his pride to the side. He HAS to make a change in the starting lineup. For whatever reason, the five he rolls out isn’t working. Please Sha

It’s beyond time to start Simpkins and Payne. That PF spot is basically just hot hand at this point.

What was always missing...It took Dar...to pass the ball out for a three
Took Dar to slow, stop Tre Carolle
Budd has to be the best 5'10" rebounder in the league
Team basketball is back ...S.M. gave up a shot for an easy bucket
Second half defense......superb!
Simpkins and Budd won the game

It's been obvious to start Simpkins. I don't think there is a true best player. I believe up till now Clark, Simpkins, and Mcray are best and most important players. If Payne starts playing like he did during early and mid season and Hines gets more minutes and produces they re up there, but when team wins, the guard and wings are producing and scoring effectively.

I can't see every game and was hard to get used to all the new guys this year, but never get this infatuation with Willaims. Okay player and I like his offensive threat, but he has seemed like a total ball stopper. I feel he is a huge part of these terrible starts.

And then Fisher again, who was okay tonight, is just not a good fit at the four. He seems he adds more offense, but it's obvious those guys just don't fit well especially when Clark or Mcray needs touches.

ALso I started to see who this Dar kid is. Feels he is that perfect 3 and 4 with length that team needs against bigger teams. If he actually brings hustle like that tonight, we can beat better teams.

I'm worried Rivera won't get minutes seeing tonight, but I feel him and Dar are guys the team needs. I think realistically our offense will be frustrating, but I feel if Sha wants to play his "way" play guys that will play hard for 40 minutes and will fit with the consistent players.

We finally played our best lineup to start the 2nd half and one we talked about around here today:

Clark
Simpkins
Staton McCray
Fisher
Hines

It gets our best players on the floor together and opens space and shooters. You can interchange PF but the other 4 are finally playing together.
