Jordan Farmar (and Sasha to a certain extent) have fallen out of the rotation. Has anyone noticed this? Farmar got in during garbage time against Boston and Golden State, and didn't even get in against Utah. Sasha was already kind of out of the rotation, and now he's getting even less minutes. I like seeing Mckie and Shamoo out there and it's great that they're playing well, but if this continues for the rest of the year will anyone be a little pissed off? I'd rather have the Lakers young talent develop then to give their minutes to the older guys. Or at least give them an equal shot. Whoever plays better should get the PT.
Well, I don't have a problem with it...even though it seemed like Sasha was starting to get his confidence really high as of late. Farmar shouldn't play that much as a rookie under Phil Jackson. That is something you have to expect. He got way more than enough minutes this year than most rookies ever did under Phil Jackson. I love seeing Shammond play as well as Mckie so it doesn't piss me off. But I would like to see Sasha and Farmar out there just to see if they have a hot hand etc and not necessarily in the main rotation.
Yeah, I have no problem with them getting the nod over Farmar and Sasha, but if both those guys remain on the bench for the rest of the season and cease to get the minutes they've gotten I'll have a problem with it.
As long as we win with this, I am fine. Shammond really made me curious when we picked him up and it's good to see him playing fairly well.
