[East Valley Tribune] Stoudemire expecting to see time at center

When you say half of the league's starting 4's you obvious just mean everyone in the Eastern Conference...

 

Well how many guys in the west will he not be able to handle.

Duncan
Garnett
K-Mart
Brand
Randolph
Dirk
Gasol
Webber if he's healthy

That's 8. I really don't think there are PFs on these western teams that Marion won't be able to guard:

Houston (Yes us. But MoTay might make it close)
Seattle
Utah
Golden State
New Orleans
Lakers

So if you're going to throw in the entire Eastern Conferance that might push it up to a little over 2/3.

 

The Sonics are starting to remind me of those old Seattle teams that Hakeem had to face. Similar athleticism, aggressiveness and potential matchup problems...hopefully they're not Rocket Kryptonite!!

DESTROY ALL SUNS!!!!

 

Yeah guys like Jermaine O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace are totally easy covers.

I'd thin Marion would have some problems even with the Joe Smiths. Kurt Thomas, Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler types.

But I'd rather like with that then having one of my 5 best players on the bench at all times so that a super-stiff "true 5" can be on the court.
