Bowen should get a good amount of playing time. It's all about matchups, if the other team goes out "small", then we should use Bowen.
When Spoon plays a good game against Team A and gets most of the minutes, then Padgett plays a good game against Team B and gets most of the minutes, then Bowen plays a good game against Team C and gets most of the minutes, you don't need to tell Van Gundy how to manage the 4 effectively. He's already doing it.
I don't know if y'all noticed, but Spoon has actually played pretty semi-below-decent. For example, he's been rebounding the ball pretty well and played great D on Shaq couple of weeks ago. Just thought I'd give some credit where it's due. As for offence, he blows, as do the rest of our 4's still playing this season. Padge is the best option there (I think), but we can't really split and play one for the O only and one for the D.
Excuse me?? So I guess if we add another black player our fundamentals will be further deteriated....
The Rockets play well with Padget. He's near the top of the 82games.com list just like last year. He's definitely the best offensive PF we have and the quickest on D. He's also hit several clutch shots for us this year. http://82games.com/0405HOU.HTM http://www.82games.com/0304HOU.HTM
Its interesting when thread this old gets bump you and see people that used to post here. I guess the turnover on here is pretty high cause when I see old post I rarely see the regulars that post on here now.
