That doesn't make sense. Wilks is the only guard in that line-up.

What do you mean? Where did Kleiza play the majority of last season for us? Guard. and I dont like Najera in there as a big right now especially with NENE trying to get back to himself, while Cambys in there its different. I like all these guys and think they can contribute its just I dont like them all together. Like you said its better to stagger Melo and AI then have them both sitting. Im telling you its better to stagger those guys then to play them all together for lengthy periods of time. We do that against upper class teams we will be out of the game be4 are core guys get back in the game. But I prolly over-reacted as Karl prolly did it based on the team we were playing and the lead we had. I was just frustrated to see the stellar play early on deteriorate so quickly when these guys were in early on.

Kleiza is out of position at guard. He only plays there because of necessity. And saying Najera is more of is the worst assessment of the man's game possible. It's very possible you're the only person to even think that. Is this the only game of his that you've seen?

Nope its not, So your comfortable with him being our main Big man on the court with NENE clearly not back in shape yet after his Injury?? That is my whole point. Put him out there next to Camby and it works but not as are main Big.

He doesn't have a choice because Nene isn't in shape. He and martin can't play enough minutes for there to always be a quality center beside Najera. Although, I'm not sure why Hunter can't get any play. He's a very good shotblocker/defender. It must suck to go from starting to riding the bench like that.

By the way, the answer to your question, against the sonics, is "yes."
