They have a good team, but yeah, no team can shoot that hot every night.

can't do too much with a team that shoots that well. with that said, williams can't be a starter. i don't see why we can't play gasol/hill on the court at the same time. pau has shown that he can shoot the 3, at least better than williams can.
and johnson was actually one of our better players, shot well from 3 and made some defensive spots.

Of course they wont shoot like that every night. No team does. Look at the Heat last night.

Agreed, Jordan should be starting with Kaman/Williams coming off bench. Also, we need to move Blake. We can't have our starting PG be unable to penetrate, especially in this day and age. Farmar would be better but then the bench wouldn't have it's punch.

When asked why he felt that way, Johnson said he felt that Jim Buss was making decisions "based on trying to prove everybody wrong that [he] can do this job." The decision to interview Jackson, but not hire him was in Johnson's words "a sucker punch" that was, "more against the sister, like, 'Hey Jeanie, I'm running this.' "
Went on to say he made a knee jerk reaction to hire mike brown because the warriors were about to. Essentially said that bus is trying to prove himself, while is father deferred to people with basketball knowledge on/when making decisions.

yup, farmar is gonna be key to our bench success. henry should be playing more 3, especially when kobe comes back, theres no reason to keep this guy off the floor. he's big/strong enough to play the 3 for us. farmar/johnson/meeks/kaman is a pretty nice bench imo, and throw nick young in there when hes hot, and just like our bench did 2 games ago, they can win us games.

Jury is still out on Wesley for me. Not very impressed. And I really just don't like Jodie. He's suppose to be our JJ Reddick but he's not. If we could package Jodie and Blake (who has some value) for maybe a legit 4 (if we're going to keep trying Wesley there, then might as well) or a penetrating 1, that'd be great.
Even with all this said, we're fodder. Nash can't play on the 2nd night of a back-to-back when he sat out the whole 4th quarter the night before and it's game 2 of the regular season? Come on man...
Still, the team is fun to watch and so long as we stay competitive every night, I can get behind this.
