36ers Starting Five For Friday

Me, based on the way Maher brought the Sixers home against the Hawks at Pasadena, I think its more important that he is there to END games rather than start them!

bluey, I'm with you. I would rather prolong Maher's career and have him around a bit longer if it is not necessary to start him.

I prefer Winitana over Tyndale. Tyndale hasn't showed me much in the pre-season, and Winitana brings that defensive intensity.
Winitana is a great player, but i think he didn't get the right opportunities at the Breakers last season.

There aren't many teams in the league where you can have such a hard time picking a starting five; which equates to a bloody good team selection.

Bruce/Davidson at the Point: (let's face it, you can't go wrong with either and frankly rotating once a game to have either start would work out nicely.

Maher at the two: ...You always want to start an impact player at SG and unless Bruce shows an inflated shooting pattern on Friday, Maher will be cemented there until injury. At least he should be.

Tyndale/Winitana at Small. So far I haven't seen anything to separate either of these two, apart from the fact with Winitana, you can create a top notch defensive lineup in Schensher, Cooper, Holmes, Winitana and Davidson. Rotate their starts the same as the point.

Ballinger at PF: Provided his back shapes up, he's the best Forward in the league; has the footwork, has the shooting ability and I personally think he's more well rounded than the likes of Ere. Only person really close to Ballinger is Redhage.

Schensher in the middle: While you could start Holmes or Cooper in the 5 spot, Coops is proven to be more of an impact off the bench and I can see that happening for Holmes too. Big Luke is a pure centre and for his "one season" with the club, should be used as much as possible.

"Then there is no way you start either of your imports on the bench."

Tell that to Brian Goorjian.

Might take a few weeks before a starting 5 is settled. If you recall last season, Dench actually started the first couple of games instead of Mottram before it was evident that he was shite. Plus, of course, Chappell being "injured" meant for the first few games he came off the bench and played limited minutes.

I'd probably say the starting five for Friday would be:

Schenscher
Ballinger
Tyndale
Maher
Bruce

However I think once Davidson is %100, he'll be rotated into the starting 5 in place of Maher.
