Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Start Josh and have LO come off the bench while Pau is out, Yay or Nay?


The bench is horrendous I swear, we have no punch when the starters sit.  For the time being I think it would be condusive for the team to have LO come off the bench now rather than start him while Pau is out.  Josh is a good spot up shooter and can do a decent job on the glass.  He might seem uncoordinated @ times but I think he can do a decent job for the first 3-4 minutes of the game.  Thats just my observation early on.  Plus it gives LO more gas later in games to finish with kobe, fish, ron & bynum.  I know he hit that big 3 in OT tonight, but that damn airball from the FT line was awful.  Either this team has SEVERAL HUGE adjustments to make or their just cruising off talent alone.  Could be a combination of both, I cant really tell @ this point. 

 

Speak on it....

that's actually something that would be interesting

but the only problem is that Bynum is only showing promise on the offensive end and zero on the defensive end. In other words Bynum is a poor rebounder and LO is the better one. So with LO on the bench who will replace his rebounding abilities?

Can't afford to lose LO's rebounding

Bynum hasn’t been a good rebounder so far this season — he just seems like he doesn’t want to mix things up under the basket with other big guys, I’m not sure why that is.

Now, I do think it would be interesting to have Walton start at the SF and allow Artest to come off the bench. He can be a guy that you can run an offense through at times, and he helps the second units defense, which is really their biggest problem — they can’t stop any other second units.

Yea

sometimes i feel like phil leaves his starters out for too long in the 1st quarter. maybe he should sub for artest & LO earlier.

nay

but i can see the logi to it because the bench needs help and odam can help

There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be commited against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the LimeLight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.

Lets have Gasol start already

Get well real soon Pau!

Also Fish, Love you man, but maybe let Farmar start til you are able to shoot 40%+ (or at least 30%) and get some assists.
