    Dekker should be starting and EG should be coming off the bench in his role. It's a good way to get him injured in front of the playoffs....and, we lose the balance we've had.

    EG is fine starting. Need to keep up that spacing so Harden can thrive. And Lou can just take up regular full time 6th man duties.

    Pretty sure EG is going to start (Ariza at the 4) until Anderson comes back. MDA wants that shooting at the 4 positions.

    Let's be hopeful. EG needs more minutes to regain his confidence before the playoffs. He has had 3 good games in a row, with the OKC one being the best.
    Dekker is getting minutes too.

    The problem with EG starting was that Tyler Ennis and Corey Brewer were our guards off the bench because Patrick Beverly was out. Lou Williams easily slides into the EG role if he is forced into starting. There was a similar issue when EG was out and Corey Brewer was forced into more playing time and when Bev went out again and Brewer started as they attempted to keep EG in the 6th man role. The Lou Will acquisition makes up for some of these earlier season roster flaws. I doubt you see an increase in Eric's minutes so I wouldn't blame any potential injury on him starting or coming off the bench.
