Sccit:
^Farmar's actually been playing pretty well..yea, he takes some ill-advised shots, but he has been playing better than Fisher...in fact, I agree with Looney on the fact that Farmar should start over Fisher. Our main problem with the bench is that once one of our starters go down (ie: Artest, Gasol), it forces Odom to start, and Odom is the leader of our second unit. Forcing Odom into that starting line-up really has our bench looking lost. Thats not to say they aren't good players, cuz the only player i truly believe is whack on our team is Sasha. He gets nervous when he dribbles, commits incredibly dumb fouls, and has no decision making skill whatsoever. Morrison, in my eyes, is way ahead of Sasha. Sasha's real strength is shooting and hes been brickin way too many good looks this year to be considered a true threat from outside...i think we should bench him and only play Morrison and Shannon off the bench at the two spot.
This is what our rotation SHOULD look like (when healthy):
PG Jordan Farmar...Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant...Shannon Brown/Sasha Vujacic
SF Ron Artest...Luke Walton/Adam Morrison
PF Pau Gasol...Lamar Odom/Josh Powell
C Andrew Bynum...DJ Mbenga
thats a VERY potent bench

yea fish coming off the bench would calm things down. our bench without odom is like a bunch of 14 yr old kids runnin n gunnin to the basket. i think itll be nice to have 2 vets coming out the bench.

the thing about LO is he's playing MUCH better with the starting unit ... and the Lakers as a team are much better with a the combo of Pau/LO than with Pau/Drew aswell

of course LO is more deserving to be a starter, but thats PJ's strategy kinda like having jason terry coming off the bench. it gives the bench more talent.
but than it doesnt work, the bench is on n off and how many times have we seen the bench blow leads?
Starters:
C - Gasol
PF - Odom
SF - Artest
SG - Kobe
PG - Farmar
Bench:
C - Bynum
PF - Powell
SF - Walton
SG - Brown
PG - Fisher
but im not complaining about pjs line ups, i mean all of our losses are without pau. so the starting line up or a pau/drew is just fine, i mean the obvious decline of stats when the whoel team is healthy is inevitable
