    Well, he is 7 feet tall. But, I suppose that since he doesn't play that physically, he is probably the only 4 T-Mac can guard. I don't see T-Mac banging down low with the more physical 4s either.

    Tmac at the 4 is crazy. imagine the likes of gasol, boozer, millsap and brand will post him up all night . if we wanna go small up font, go with McGrady, Ariza, Battier, landry and scola.

    we can start to see the building blocks of the starting lineup. brooks, ariza, and scola. no surprises here.

    lowry playing with them a lot is interesting. made me think that aaron might play more of the 2 this year like we've been hearing, but then i read this:

    kyle not initiating the offense when he's out there with aaron? well i know this back court can work because kyle can really guard the 2. but i didn't expect aaron to play the 1 in offense too.

    my guess is that aaron is better suited for scoring off PnR because he can pull up for a jump shot as well as drive, where kyle can only do the latter with consistency. on the other hand, kyle at the 2 makes sense because he can drive past any 2 guard, and unlike aaron, he has the ability to finish at the rim when he does get by his man.

    didn't tmac hold boozer for a short spell in the playoffs? He even blocked his shot, but that was a somewhat healthy tmac.

    If anything, T-Mac is more suited to playing the 4 now than he ever has been. He is a bit bigger than he was, and is not as fast, although still faster than all of the 4s in the league. I'd like to see him in the 4 spot sometimes to mix things up and give teams fits.

    His back, his knees and his vagina would never allow him to play the 4.

    The rockets are having dinner together right now. It's live on Lowry's twitter. :D It seems he is trying to convince Scola to have his own twitter account.

    Hmm. Let's ask a slender guard with thin legs, a small posterior, and a history of back problems to go bang in the post against bruisers that'll outweigh him by ~40 lbs. Yep. Sounds like a good idea.

    While we're at it, since Chuck Hayes lost weight this summer and he's occasionally been switched off to guard Kobe, let's ask him to be our starting shooting guard. This is revolutionary, outside the box thinking!

    Yeah, real classy sir. I'm sure our lady members don't appreciate those types of comments. I know girls with vaginas that would bend you over and do you like a prison scene and make you feel you had the vagina.
