When Batum comes back

[BrianFromWA]

Do you see more of the "smallball" play of he or Webster playing the 4 with LMA at the 5?

Is the Howard/JP platoon at C (and LMA/whoever at the 4) better?

I'm getting closer to the opinion that I like what JP and Howard have been bringing, but am slightly skeptical about how long they can keep it up. Having Webster and Batum in the same lineup (you'd have to have both Roy and LMA for offense, IMO) would seem to be a dirty-in-a-good-way mix of defensive pressure and spot-up shooting.

I like what's happening right now, but is it fools gold? I think some maybe inspired play, but how long will that last. There's a part of me that thinks teams just aren't prepared for us since so many key players are injured. Will they tune in as the season moves along? I think so. I'm not knocking the play of this amazing last 5 games, just being a little skeptical. I would love this not to be fools gold and what we are doing now is really what this team will do all season. But for the most part, I would still stick with my guns. We have way too many players injured to really figure out what we need, IMO.
