With the Lakers starting 0-5, there’s much to blame for the slow start. One of them could be the starting lineup, which Byron Scott has left the starting lineup unaltered.
Is that the right move, though? Would a lineup change effect the outcome of the game? There’s certainly more problems for the Lakers than just the starting five, but it would go a long way to begin fixing problems if the rotations and starting lineup were fixed.
With his slow start, should Jeremy Lin remain in the starting lineup? Same for Carlos Boozer, who has been arguably the worst Laker on the court this season. Should Ed Davis supplant him in the starting lineup? What about Wesley Johnson, who has further proven why he’s regarded as a bust.
