I elaborate a bit on Sulia

My basic point – if Pau isn’t the right fit – whoever starts – if Clark is the better choice next to Howard to close games – then D’Antoni needs to forget egos and feelings and make sure the best group is on the floor to win

Earl Clark suddenly an important part of the Lakers' rotation

(PS, not how I worded that last headline – remember the headlines are often done by editors, etc.)

Thanks!

^^ Absolutely agree with the article, Eric. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Bring Pau off the bench if it's winning you games. Clark looks great so far with the starters. For Pau, this might get his game going as the focus of the 2nd unit on offense. I hope that he's aggressive with the time he is on the court, period. I'd rather see him bring 100% effort and energy for 20 minutes a game than try to conserve energy while playing 35.
