Before you flame me think about it. Ryno is a starting caliber 4 in the NBA and would spread out the floor more. AD doesn't need someone to create offense for him. He would come in as the 4 or 5 and go against team's backups, he would just dominate and it would be a great bench, plus he would still get all of his normal minutes.
Jrue and Reke did play great without him.
1-6
Reke needs talented players around him AD does not. Let's do it.

"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Not sure how to respond to this. Bring our MVP candidate off the bench? Just isn't done.
This is getting ridiculous

I can't believe TC is serious, I thought this was a joke topic making fun of the other ones.

Eman, internet cool guy, isn't impressed.
Would it be possible to play 4 players in the first half if we can play 6 in the second?

So is it crazy that the Spurs brought many ginobli off the bench when he was in his prime?? Obviously this is a joke thread making fun of the jrue coming off the bench, but so far you have just made fun of me without coming up with an actual argument. Prove me wrong that it would not be beneficial to LEAD the second team with jrue. IF jrue starts and they take him out early, will that make everyone feel ok inside?
We are arguing about semantics, this fictional "starter" vs "bench" theory is a joke. It's minutes played that matters. Woukd you go nuts if lebron didn't "start" but played 47 minutes a game? (Besides the argument that he shouldn't be playing that much)
If it's a joke and fictional, why are you suggesting it as something that would be beneficial to the team?

haha the projection defense mechanism. I like it.
Many Ginoblis? 6th men. 6th men everywhere.
Matt, I detailed why I wouldn't do it in your thread. I don't think its as bad an idea as others suggest but still wouldn't do it.

He's the 2nd best player on the team after AD (my opinion). He's possibly our best on-ball defender and definitely our best on-ball guard defender. He's versatile on that end and has defended positions 1-3. You don't put that on the bench when you have guys like Westbrook, Curry, Parker that are starting.
Honestly, with Austin Rivers' ever-growing elite defensive skills, I think bringing Jrue off the bench could work. Rivers has put up some elite advanced per36 stats while having one of the best def efficiency averages of all time. With those numbers, we can afford to bring Jrue off the pine

Well played. But lemme introduce you to a lil' thing called: Poe's Law
Wow guys.
"Satire doesn't stand a chance against reality anymore."
— Jules Feiffer in 1959
The core idea of Poe's law is that a parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing, and if a real thing sounds extreme enough, it can be mistaken for a parody (all because parodies are intrinsically extreme, in case you haven't noticed it). This can also happen to someone whose picture of the opposing position is such a grotesque caricature that it renders them unable to tell parody from reality. Reality and parody are further blended by the fact that something that started as a parody might turn into a Windmill Political that some people take as gospel and go to a very serious (if not literal) war.
