    I think Terry should be the starting 2 guard. It is mainly due to the matchups against the spurs and some other teams. For one thing point guard defense is more important and Howard or Griffin can guard the best 2/3 on the other team. This would leave Terry on the last option to hide his defense and have Terry save his energy for offense so he can drain those 3 pointers at a high percentage like tonight.

    Against San Antonio you could stick Terry on Bowen. Though Bowen might try to post up Terry this would take San Antonio out of their rhythm and Bowen hasn't been known to post up. Also putting Harris on Parker seems like a much favorable matchup than Terry on Parker.

    Against Phoenix put Terry on Bell or Barbosa. If they post up that is taking away from what they do best also. Harris I think would do a better job on defense against Nash as well. So I am definitely in favor in starting Harris and having Terry at the 2.

    I agree with you on this one..Come playoff time, we'll probably see Harris and Terry on the floor together against the Spurs and the Suns. We have Harris and Armstrong to help against the quick guards, but DA is an offensive liability. Harris was out on both the Spurs and the Suns game last week. We'll see how Avery plays his lineup the next game against the Spurs.

    <font color=""Blue"">I was thinking the same thing at the beginning of the year. Its a good idea, except for one thing.. They're both pretty small, and it would be easy to get a defensive mismatch... but with every flaw theres a plus, they're both pretty fast. With Devin always driving to the basket, its going to open up the outside shot for Jason. Just some thoughts.. </font>
