At this point, I am less concerned about the starting lineup.

And more hopeful that MY will FINALLY realize that there has been a correlation between our many end-of-game fades and his insistence on playing only his starters in crunch time.

Yesterday was the first time all season that both Pedulla and Maddox have been on the floor together at the end of a game where the outcome was in doubt. The results speak for themselves.

If Young wants to continue to put certain players out there at the start of every game, we will have to resign ourselves to additional "slow starts"- just like we saw yesterday. And against GT.

If he wants to continue to use Pedulla and Maddox as "energy guys" and only bring them in when the team is struggling- so be it.

But when they DO bring the energy, and the points, that the team desperately needs- leave them in the game, for crying out loud! Yesterday, it finally happened! So glad to see it. What a win.
