	Is it the typical starters or the starting 5 on opening night? The instructions indicate it's the opening game starting 5, but if so the game has some errors (see 1992-93, where Peeler did not start on opening night). And if it's just regular starters, you're missing some Kobe, at least.

	Soumalia Samake. Wow.

	truk:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 17:46 GMT	-2 points
	76% got Sean Rooks? wow

	LucasEwalt:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 18:13 GMT	-2 points
	you should change the note to "most frequent starting five" instead of "opening day starting five" because some of these are incorrect as the opening day starters.

	JohnJF:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 19:56 GMT	0 points
	Sean Rooks had to be a revised mistake. It just had to be.

	dutchesNclutches:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 20:11 GMT	2 points
	prepare for this be the new "opening day mlb lineups" (as in every day a new team will be featured)

	dxdtdemon:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 20:55 GMT	0 points
	If there is ever a "not quite before-and-after" quiz, Soumalia Samake Walker is too difficult.

	Wow, I remember the old teams better than the new. I guess that's because those teams were fun to watch. Showtime! Today it's dunk and glare at the guy who dared be standing by you when you dunked. Now I know why I remember the old days better.

	I was so proud of myself when I came up with Michael Cooper. Shows what I know.

	drpickem:	Dec 4th, 2010 at 04:59 GMT	0 points
	Got them all from '81-'93, but struggled thereafter. For the umpteenth time, I feel old.

	Shinyhubcaps:	Dec 4th, 2010 at 06:47 GMT	0 points
	Not really an issue for me because I forgot a ton, but it may be helpful to designate the PG from the SG and the SF from the PF. 2009-10 goes Odom then Artest, which is PF (power forward), then SF (small forward). But 2008-09 goes Artest then Odom (SF then PF). Not only would it be straight, but it could help people who get maybe a tweener like James Worthy or a younger Odom in trying to figure out if the missing player is up (PF, SG) or down (SF, PG) of whichever one they guessed.

	Ugh, forgot Worthy, Wilkes and Rambis... I feel disgusted with myself. I hope there will be more of these quizzes, along the lines of MLB ones...

	Proud of myself for remembering Eldin Campbell, but forgot Vlade! Oh, well. Should do one for the Celtics too, just to be fair. But then I suppose Bulls fans would gripe. And, hey, what about the Heat?

	acmilan10italia:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 12:25 GMT	0 points
	I already made one for the Celtics a while ago (along with other teams). Check my profile @juviejay

	You know, I got here by clicking random quiz and I was like, "what team? It doesn't say what team!" It should maybe be in the instructions somewhere.

	Cockroach:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 07:05 GMT	1 point
	Seems crazy that Cooper was never starting 5. I guess that's the definition of "6th man", but still...

	Badgerhawk:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 14:42 GMT	0 points
	Cockroach, I always think of him as more of a 70's Laker. Maybe I'm wrong too. That was a long time ago!
