This starting lineup proves why Paul Westphal has been out of the league so long. Spencer didn’t want to play in the Summer League because even Spencer understands that when 7 footers, like himself, start to log lots of minutes early (Summer League and PreSeason), they tend to fade and fade fast. Ala a guy we know oh too well Brad Miller, did he age right before our eyes. Spencer should be a treasured young talent so that now when the games ACTUALLY count, should be on the floor. Sean May was a lottery pick and has been given a few years of oppurtunities now, and what has he shown? Not much. Give Spencer some respect. We drafted him for a reason in the lottery–he can stretch the defense offensivley, he grabs rebounds, he can pass very well and hes a shot blocking threat. Nocioni off the bench is one thing, he brings a legitmate scoring threat with that 2nd tier. But Spencer too? No way. Cmon P.W.

Thoughts of Hawes off the bench? Yeah, PW is not happy with Hawes if that is in fact the case.

@Patrick
Definitely not the worst starting lineup in NBA history. Check out the 2005 Atlanta Hawks: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ATL/2005.html

With all due respect to Paul Westphal and Geoff Petrie, this has to be the worst starting lineup in NBA history. 2/5 of this lineup wouldn’t start for any other team in the League.
