Far be it for me to proclaim that I am a basketball genious. But I thought Id give it a shot for second Last night Stro (outside of too many fouls) played an awesome game, especially in the second half. Now I agree that he has looked lost at times, and makes some bone headed plays, but at very least he is DEFINATELY an upgrade over J HO. No offense to the J HO lovers, but Howard just isnt good enough. You aboslutely can not have a POWER foward who in a whole season last year only garnered 5 blocks, or an amazing clip of .08 per game. He is on the same pace this year. If J HO can not create space feeding off of TMac and Yao doubles and bang down open shots or get to the hoop, then he is in all seriousness, worthless as a PF. Its time to start Swift and start letting him gel with TMac and Yao. You can limit him and bring in J HO whenever you want there after but let Swift get some mins already. Id like to see our starters or at least the people getting the most minutes as Head Anderson TMac Swift Yao Now Anderson has also been a big disappointment. But at least he has the size to defend the post much much better then Wesley. I believe it was this exact unit last night that turned the tide last night against the Kings. So to recap Stro Head Anderson
Are you sure about this??? He was totally bullied by Wells every time wells has the ball. He is just too small and too weak and too slow to guard anyone. He lost like ten steps compared with the years when he was with the Spurs. Swift played better because Kings did not box him out, that is how Swift can be effective on the offensive glass.
I tend to agree with Swift. Not with Anderson. Anderson's role on this team should be little more than spell TMac.
Anderson is no less smallish, weak, or slow as DW. At least LIKE is said he can defend the post and get a hand in the face of a perimeter shooter. Swift played better because he got pretty much 30 mins.
