Maybe woody felt shump was alittle complacent or something .. Niccas are acting like he out shump on the third string maybe they saw how much he was chilling with jr last year and don't want him to turn into another ar-jr. Competition isn't bad it could just keep that fire lit under 21 shump street

I'm sorry, but I don't like Bargs in the starting lineup. Defense suffers and we don't need the offense with Melo on the floor early on. I would rather have Shump or Metta in there.

... maybe I'm just racist. :mjpls:

Why would you have a starting lineup featuring only one offensive threat?

I just think Shump is a better fit, and Melo could carry the team in the first quarter by himself.

They tried that last year & more often than not, the starting lineup got outscored by the opposing team.

And why does Shumpert starting mean Bargnani coming off the bench? Makes no sense to start Prigioni anymore when we have three capable shooting guards on the roster.

I think we're focusing too much on who starts or not. The real question is who gets reliable minutes. Woodson could play it safe and have damn near the whole roster sit or play depending on matchups, health, fatigue, and age.

For all we know he could just have prig start for 15 mins a game "to get the ball moving" alongside Felton and then go more traditional 2 guards once Melo, and Barg get warmed up and they go on their scoring blitzes..... :salute:

Prigi shouldn't be starting, Shump should be out there, bring JR and Prigi in on the 2nd string and we good

Shump wasn't ready last year. He's ready now
