    "We'll have different guys starting," Davis said. "I want to look at how they play together, the different combinations we can have. We have a lot of guys who can play a lot of positions."

    Davis may start rookie point guard Jameer Nelson in the backcourt with Steve Francis, moving Francis over to shooting guard. Hedo Turkoglu will probably get a start at either small forward or shooting guard.</div>

    I like the idea of trying different lineups. As long as we're still winning ballgames in the process, it shouldnt hurt to see which lineup is the most successful.

    ^Word, as long as were bringing home the W's JD can experiment all he wants,maybe even develop a lineup for each team we play against in terms of go small or big,that type of thing.
