There is a scene in the movie Ruthless People where one cop looks at another cop and says "This may be the stupidest person on the planet......should we shoot him?" That quote sums up my feelings about anyone who thinks Jordan should not start!
Your attempts at humor aside, very few people believe Jordan should not start.

Golly! Three people is not exactly worrisome is it?

If you tolerate stupidity even on a small scale, then you are part of the problem. And WASJU is always part of the solution! Besides what difference does the number on here matter if the coach thinks it is a good idea?
Yeah stupidity for having an opinion and thinking Branch should start. See now if I say something in response, I'll get banned right Dave. So guess I gotta shhh while this guy say me and two others are stupid.
I'm on your side on this one, Mull... Although I think Jordan should start, I don't think there is anything so outrageous about thinking Branch should.
You guys whine and whine about not getting talented players and you get them and then you whine about them. I don't care how many turnovers he commits, Jordan is far and away the most talented player on the team. If you are so worried about turnovers maybe Greene should play the point. He never turned the ball over. Of course he never went anywhere either. Turnovers happen, Jordan is young and he is a playmaker. He is going to make mistakes but they are at least aggressive mistakes.
Here is one for you I don't even think Branch should play over Greene. Don't know what it is with some of you and Branch? Guy plays one good game, then follows that with four ordinary games and you think he is the next coming of Mark Jackson. Jordan can be special and if we are going to go anywhere he will be a big part of it. Branch is what he is, a guy who can play some minutes off the bench, which means once and awhile he will play really well and most the time he will be an ordinary basketball player.
So yes if you think Branch should start over Jordan you do not know anything about basketball. Heck even Lavin knows Jordan is better. Last game was a punishment.
ok, time to respond, not in a nasty way.
" I don't care how many turnovers he commits, Jordan is far and away the most talented player on the team."
So RJ could have 3 turnover in the last :30 in a one possession game right? Because "he's the most talented player on the team."?
Yeah of course everyone knows that Jordan is better, and should start.
But lets rewind to the Gonzaga game. In 38minutes RJ had 9 turnovers although he did get 18pnts, mean in 21 minutes Branch had 0 turnover, and no he didn't get a single point.
So what would you rather have: A PG who can score but is reckless, or a PG who doesn't score and takes care of the rock?
Most of RJ's turnovers occured when? When he drove to the hoop and tried to kick it out. I think that could happen vs. Cuse as well.
Would love to see RJ when driving, stop and take the fade away jumper, that was deadly for Micheal Jordan.
Finally, 9 turnover, that could have been 18pnts. More realistically, they would score anyway on all 9 possessions, but say if they did score on 5 of those 9, instead of losing by 7, we beat Gonzaga by 3. I know you don't care about that though, as long as he had his 38minutes.
To me, if you're hurting the team, you sit. Doesn't matter who you are.
