What an odd starting line up.
Is Noah in the doghouse? He doesn't give a lot on offense but like him down low and on the boards. Gives energy. |

My guess is because both teams lack any real size, VDN decided to go with a 4 guard lineup with Gooden in the middle. It might work against small teams but it will not work against better Western conference teams with size.

Having watched a couple games this season...I haven't been a fan at all of Noah down low or on the boards. The energy that he gave last year seems like it's been sapped. He seems to be just going through the motions a lot more than last year. It's frankly quite troublesome. He's just not giving me anything useful right now. |

Not only do both Hughes and Sefalosha get the start...but in the first half, both are shooting over 50% from the field and both of them are in double digits scoring.
It's a Thanksgiving miracle. Oh, and our starting lineup is Rose/Gordon/Hughes/Sefolosha/Gooden. I swear, our coaches would start 5 guys under 6 foot if they could. |

While I agree with you entirely, throwing our big men out there for major minutes with the way they're playing doesn't appear to be a better option. Gooden is putting up a 14.35 PER (15 is roughly league average), Noah is putting up a 12.81, and Tyrus is putting up a brilliant 9.47.

Larry Hughes is actually having a fairly solid game for once...

Wow, Randolph misses a dunk that would have cut it to one.

In the Tribune they said it was a bruised hip. Rose said he just needed it iced and massaged. Said he wouldn't be missing any games. I wonder if Rose has turned a corner and just became spectacular or if the warriors are just a great match up for him.

It's because he's a superstar! That's what they do. They don't let a bad half affect them and Rose would simply not let us lose that game. I think he would have been in tears if we had lost. |

Teams are already starting to double rose and when he does his team mates have no instinct to take it to the hole.He needs help to make him more of a threat than he already is.The other bulls settle for jump shots great when it goes in but when its not they still chuck it up.
