    Do you guys think it's time for Darko to start over Battie? Discuss.

    I'll post my thoughts after the discussion gets going.

    "If it aint broke, dont fix it" Well it is broke so fix it. In other words start Darko.

    Give him a shot. If he crumbles then switch Battie back to starting position. If he flourishes, then we got ourselves a new big man starter.

    Doesn't really matter IMO, he says he feels good coming off the bench and odviously doesn't mind. I personally don't think he is that much if at all better than Battie (right now) Either of them will give us about the same thing I guess the only good thing about him starting would be the fact that he would get more mins with Dwight and the negative being we won't have much offense in the post when Dwight goes out considering Darko will probly be going out around the same time. I guess I would say there are some negatives as well as positives so it really wouldn't matter to me.

    He played good in good minutes tonight. I'd probably prefer that he starts, but as long as he gets 25-30 minutes every single night I would be a happy man.

    Idk. Admittedly i've only been able to see two games so far this year (Cavs and Bobcats) and in both of them seemingly everytime there was a bad play, Darko was right there fucking up.

    I think we should start him. As everyone else has said, he compliments Dwight well. He got 12/9 off the bench last night. He should at least get a chance for a few games.

    He doesn't need to start, I just think he needs more minutes. I don't even notice Battie on the floor when he does play. It's like we're playing 4on5. Don't start Darko, just give him way more minutes.

    If you feel we are at a disadvantage when Battie is in the game and you don't notice him when he's on the floor, why would you want to keep him in the starting lineup?
