2012-13 Dubs Debate #1: Do you start Landry?

[MackShock]

I know Landry is great off the bench. But do you start him in the wake of Andrew Bogut's absence?

Pros:

Gives us a better chance with a better player in the starting lineup
Scoring and rebounding
Better inside presence

Cons:

Size
Bench may have no spark
Ezeli's confidence might take a hit


What do you think?

[Bayareaboy]

I think honestly he is outplaying Lee right now. But it's good he's coming off the bench especially with losing rush so early nthe season. He's our spark so let him do what he does as our 6th man right now.

[Over Da Pence]

Oh come on look at how bad Landry was against the lakers

[Public Enemy #1]

Won't happen. Rather have Landry to come off the bench. Great spark

[Over Da Pence]

This isn't a discussion. Warriors need a superstar period. If there are 8-10 superstars in the league then at least a quarter of all teams have one. Why can't the warriors be one? If we had Kevin Durant...

Curry
Thompson
Durant
Lee
Bogut

And look how good he was in all the other games. Are you stupid?

cant you ever stay on topic? must you go off on a tangent everytime you post? what does having a superstar have anything to do with this?

[Victimize]

I want him to be our 6th man but ultimately play more minutes than ezeli. He can backup Lee and play minutes alongside him.

[MackShock]

but its a defensive liability with him and lee in at the same time. its small ball all over again..

ive seen:

curry
jack
barnes
lee
landry

You both are, for putting so much weight on 6 games.
Everything everyone cries about on here is always about the last game or so. It takes much more than 6 games to impress me, or disappoint me. The season is much longer than 6 games and anyone can have a bad, or good stretch before regressing to the mean.





I doubt he will start, but he has been excellent, though we can't tout every good player off the bench as a potential starter, kind of defeats the purpose of having a.... good bench. To me right now, Landry is much like Nate Robinson. He is outstanding on the court more often than not, and clutch, but might lack the consistency down the road, or something else, but it is ok to be a great player, and a bench player at the same time. I know, mind blowing stuff.

[Over Da Pence]

Landry showed last night he can't handle length. Steimez said its his cryptinite.

We have been more effective with Landry and Lee as opposed to Ezeli. Should Landry start? No, but we need his inside scoring ability because we are missing that with Bogut out. It hurts our defense but we play better with Landry/Lee.

We played pretty good defense tonight just gave up an insane amount of offensive rebounds.

Playoff teams use small ball lineups all the time (see Denver, Oklahoma City, Miami), and we kind of have to. Ezeli is still very raw.

[MackShock]

true...

then i dont know why nellie gets so much heat for nellieball
