Um that white chick has a black cock ?

And it will be 8 if Miles gets healthy soon and starts at SG. He hasn't started at SG with the other current starters.

:shakehead

 

[Pyro]

So if he starts Karasev how many different starting line ups does this make?

7

Sounds like he wants to be Manny Acta from 2012, where he started 126 different line-ups.

TT/Gee/AV/Dion/Kyrie (2)

KARASEV STARTING!

that would be music to my ears....please mike brown you're our only hope

 

[The Oi]

Karasev hasn't looked very good when I've watched him. He's looked kinda useless actually...

I think he would look better given some minutes to get into the groove. He's relatively proven for a rookie, just needs to get used to the NBA games speed

Agreed...

It's getting to the point of being comical. If he's not going to play these guys significant minutes, then why is he starting them if no other reason than to punish Waiters - who is playing better than anyone else on the team?

I agree that he is relatively proven for a rookie... that was taken 19th.

Lots of teams have promising young rookies that don't get lots of minutes early on. I don't think he is the type of player that we need to force feed minutes to grow. His biggest issue seems to be that he has the physique of a high school player, only time and the training staff can fix that.

Well, he's been holding the starting spot for Miles, so he can try him for a more extended run with Kyrie and Bynum. It's also a bit comical but in other ways.

 

[MirORich]

I don't mind Dion's insistence and desire to be a starter. He has the talent to be a starter. However, he played the 2nd most minutes on the team against the Heat. I can get him(and us) being frustrated if he's only getting 20-28 minutes of the bench, but as long as Mike Brown will play him 32+ mpg, then Dion should revisit his reflective statements about how the Spurs played, Manu's role and minutes all these year, and try to make it work.

Don't remind me of this...

I actually feel like he has decided for now on 4 starters (Bynum, Thompson, Kyrie, Gee) and wants to see if Miles works there. Even if Gee doesn't play much, he keeps giving Clark backup-4 minutes, with Varejao, Waiters (for now), Jack, and some 5th guy or other.

Having Miles out at the exact time that Brown has wanted to try him at SG has caused extra problems (4 games worth) with evaluating the rotation. I don't see Clark moving back to 3 unless there are injuries.
