I'd much rather see Brad give one of the 3 centers a game off each time, and simply split 24 minutes between the two remaining BIGS. The 2 BIG lineup is awful - everyone seems to be able to see that, and the numbers back it up. Yes, it's early - but it doesn't seem to make any sense other than doing it to find a way to get TT some additional minutes. It's clear that CBS doesn't think it's his best lineup - as he hasn't used it much to close out games in crunch time (it might have happened once - can't remember for sure).
Yes, Nesmith hasn't looked great out there - but he needs experience, and the team isn't practicing hardly at all these days. He's not going to get any better just sitting on the bench. I'd like to see a bit more Nesmith and potentially even - gasp - Semi out there to see who can play some wing minutes. With Romeo out, now is the time to try and evaluate what those two can add to the team. I'm getting a bit tired of watching PP try and guard people 6-8" taller than him (not a knock on him - I just don't think he should be used at the #2).
