Jose Calderon to start in place of Rose?
SO many starting lineup options for this team and Lue goes with Calderon.
Well he did put up 18 against Orlando in pre season and can shoot. He’s terrible on d but he’s a professional PG.

If we start cycling players in and out of the starting lineup it could throw things off. Besides, we're playing Orlando.
Our shooting and spacing will be fine. When IT comes back we will have IT/Crowder/LeBron/Love in the starting lineup, all capable of shooting 3s. We'll have JR and Korver to bring in off the bench. JR will be effective not having to play 30+ minutes a night and playing with the second unit will let him be more of a playmakerOR...it could make it painfully obvious how much BETTER the starting lineup is with JR.
But hey, lets just keep wasting our shooting and keep it out of the starting lineup.
your implying that JR smith was not effective playing 30 minutes a night. ...Our shooting and spacing will be fine.

There is no way you can think that JR playing 20 mins is a good thing.Our shooting and spacing will be fine.

There is no way you can think that JR playing 20 mins is a good thing.
Also, we don't get IT back for 3 months.
So why the fuck would we not play our best lineups now, and then worry about Thomas IF he returns healthy.
I'm fine with Calderon starting. I doubt he gets heavy minutes. Lue likely wants to keep JR and the other guys on the bench to start to get them used to their roles. If we start cycling players in and out of the starting lineup it could throw things off. Besides, we're playing Orlando.

IT may be back before Christmas. 6-9 weeks...
I think putting Calderon in is going to make it super obvious how important spacing is. Let me guess. Wade gets some great dunks
