Well I've said all along that I think Gomes makes sense with the 
starters, not because of talent level but because blending roles 
together. As to Tony...just please tell me they're not still trying 
to play him at PG and ahead of Delonte <ducks and runs>

Seriously, I could maybe see spot starting him for defense to keep a 
top flight shooting guard from getting off hot and setting up a big 
lead against the Cs. We lost too many games because we couldn't 
defend one player on a team, usually at the 2-3 despite all the 
moaning about our front court. But I don't think even Doc would do 
anything more than that.
