If you insert Ebanks, the squad doesn't really lose much. Artest can still be a terror on defense, but he's a complete liability on offense. Physically he looks great, but it wasn't translating. Ebanks is younger, faster, drives to the basket better... eh.
But Mike Brown's rotations have always been completely ridiculous so we'll never know.
I have no issues with gasol on offense....its the defense of not only gasol but everyone...there was no effort till the last two min....that's inexcusable...defense is effort..its either u do or u dnt...they have to find a way to have Howard cover for nash's weakness. And even tho they won the rebounding battle it shouldn't have been close...again it was the effort.

Another part of the offense that's not acceptable is Kobe/Nash not getting ANY free-throw attempts. Damn. I was pretty surprised just reading that.
How much yall think Jerry Sloan gon cost?

I don't think Sloan, Phil, or Pat can save this team. Trades need to be made. I really don't see much wrong outside of Nash. Metta is a nuisance as a starter but he can easily benched for a role player at SF.
