    Start Layman until Harkless is 100%. Don't start Turner or Stauskas, they should remain 2nd unit guys

    Same with Aminu, leave him as starting 4.

    Spurs are trash ! Will they even make the playoffs?

    I think Layman is gonna surprise some folks. His preseason/summer league wasn't a fluke. I really think he's ready to make a serious jump. If he does this team is going to be really dangerous from outside.

    Harkless sucks. Every year it's the same damn thing. We get excited over his potential and he hardly ever shows up.

    I liked the rotation in game 1. Lets try it a few more games. Harkless played well off the bench and I like he and Aminu rotating in vs playing together. I say start Jake because of it.

    I did like the rotation last night using Harkless as a stretch 4 along side Collins and Turner. All three of these guys are above defense players. If Layman continue to the job with 1st unit I would continue to start him.

    Lamucus should have his way with Aminu, Zach and anybody else we put on him.

    I still think we beat them. The second unit is legit. Who steps up tonight? Curry? Layman? Sauce again?

    My friends laughed at me but I honestly think we should continue starting Layman. I think his shooting will make a big difference this year. I may be delusional but give the guy another shot. We can beat these guys!

    ....run with that for a while. Layman isn't going to play a ton of minutes as a starter anyhow. He'll get the Vonleh treatment but I like Mo on the 2nd unit with Curry Sauce, Turnover and Co.
