who from the starting lineup would sit if this were to happen. mo is an allstar (after multiple injuries to other allstars), but delonte is a better pg. but carter would really fill their void cause mo is a very very undersized sg. i think this would really help the cavs and they wouldnt be losing much. id like to see the line up involving west/mo/carter/lebron/varejow pick and roll with lebron, theyd be really hard to stop on the perimeter.
Your kidding right? West would sit, Carter and Williams are allstars at their position and not a combo guard like West. West would be the first guard off the bench and still get minutes but he isn't as pure of a point as Williams and his defense isn't as necessary in the back court.
I actually agree with Zombie here. The absolute ***** fest that the Cavs had about Mo not being an All-Star was so weak. He's not an All-Star, that's why he wasn't selected. He had to be selected as a reserve after Nelson got injured. Mo's not even a point guard. He's a 2. Lebron runs that offense, not Mo. And yes, West is a better point guard than Mo. He's a combo guard, that's true, but he's a better ball handler & passer. Not a better scorer though, that's a given.
And his D is absolutely necessary in the backcourt because he's the best perimeter defender on their team, & arguably the best defender on the team (I don't feel Lebron is that good but I'm not gona get into that here). Weren't u watching the ECF when he shut down 6-10 Hedo for large stretches of the series? Mo & VC is a horrible defensive backcourt but it's a much better scoring one. I'd love to see Lebron move to the PF for stretches with Mo, West, VC, & Andy V.
