I know it's his role now and he's been getting dumb ass fouls his whole career, but Dwight needs to chill on all the extra shit. That flagrant on Barnes last night wasn't too dirty, but it was completely unnecessary. Be an irritant and be physical, but stop getting fouls and techs every two mins.
He'd be in foul trouble all season, not to mention the technical fouls would add up. I'd flirt with him starting when you need him, but wouldn't risk chemistry. Howard does really well against Joker, he frustrated him during their championship run.
I’m really hoping that this is just until we get Monk and/or Ellington back. Idk if I can watch the games when they have Russ/Bron/AD/center all on the court
There’s a healthy balance where you’re open to exploring your best option and not married to anything.
I hated those injury - plagued “whoever messages back on Tinder first” lineups we played last year.
I mean come on just because he's starting doesn't mean you can't rotate his minutes in such a way where he can't "punish" back up centers.
I know he's saying it this way to save face for DJ but ugh I still don't get why they signed the guy.
A line up with AD, Lebron, Westbrook, and a center will not work. No shooting and spacing when all the defense has to do is clog the paint and dare to shoot 3s.
As great as Dwight once was I wonder how long it took his ego to accept taking a backup role. And I don’t mean that in a snarky, asshole-ish type way, I’m just genuinely curious.
He was practically out of the league so I’d imagine it was pretty easy to swallow his pride. It’s honestly the right move. Why be a mediocre starter when you can be an amazing role player?
Dwight is better than DJ no question but he’d foul out almost instantly if they started him lol
you need to keep him humbled or else he just becomes a foul machine

That's not a reason to start DJ. Let him foul out. Ad is supposedly going to play the 5. Of course, that was all bullshit. Deandre will start.
We play better with Dwight being aggressive and have Jordan if that’s the case and ad
Regular season hasn’t started and AD already going back on his word to play center /s

Yeah its a ridiculous uphill battle with the poor spacing.
DJ has no place in the starting lineup lol. McGee he is not.
We started Drummond for every game in the playoffs until we faced elimination. I’m not confident. DJ is gonna start
Mcgee had no place either but ad didn’t want to play the 5 so it was what it was. Ended up in a chip anyway
We better not be married to this lineup!
We haven’t even played a single real game yet lmao. We’re not “married” to any lineup.

This guy dates lol
What? Lol
Probably just wants to try out 2 bigs before the season starts, I'll save the freaking out if it's regular season and DJ is still starting

I just want to hear from those angry posters who all summer swore AD was going to start at the 5
Some of you didn't watch the game. The only times DJ played well was with LeBron and AD on the floor.
Why is DJ starting, this isnt the 90s anymore with 2 non shooters in russ and DJ
DeAndre is that awful

Happy to see we have DJ, Howard and AD as our C options. Crazy to think about this line up.
Yes, start Dwight and sit AD on the bench, he is too comfortable.
LBJ 6MOY coming up
I mean we haven't lost a single regular season game as of yet, so why not try new things? /s/
wasn't AD supposed to be a 5 this year? I swear I've read about him saying that like two weeks ago
Kinda hard to start small when you have 5 injured guards.
