*Burks will play more

*Josh Howard will become the starting SF (this is the best thing we did during the free agent period)

*CJ will keep coming off the bench

*Hayward will move to SG

*Devin Harris’ assists will improve

*He will start running more pick and rolls

*Jamal Tinsley will start getting more playing time (he’s the best passer on this team)

   Paul’s Play? Seriously? Your a stat monster arent you? Guys who have plays called for them, and 30 plus minutes put up big stats. People who have to take a back seat to Al Jefferson have to scrap for theirs. Bet if we have a few more games where Al is out, you see Paul’s numbers rise. Until then, or Harris learns to distribute a little more evenly, or Paul’s number gets called a bit more, you will see Paul scrapping for all his stats.

   I wonder if Howard could lead this team. We need a leader and though we have a few leading by example, we don’t seem to have that voice that many teams have. Guess time will tell.

   Eh, Let Tag have his day in the sun. Wont last with his work ethics anyhow.

   Patrick –

   One second. Milsap has ALWAYs been scrappy, and had to fight for his points. Its just this year he has been a little inconsistent (so has everyone… -> Lockout). The commmentators were even talking about how it had been some time since Milsap had had two games in a row without a double double (he ended up having one against the Bucks).

   My comment was not intended to disrespect Milsap. He’s awesome. The comment actually complimented him, and predicted that he would start playing more consistently.

   Milsap is going to get minutes, whether he starts, or comes off the bench. He will average a double double.

   Agreed on Tag.
