When we meet the Fakers in the playoffs, should B Millz start @ F?

    With Brad starting (only for a series vs the Fakers), we would match up pretty well. Scola coming off the bench could negate Chloe Odom and if Brooks+Martin can = Kobe Bean, we have as good a chance as anybody to knock off those purple wearing _____ !(another word for multiple cats)

    I don't think we should adjust to their strengths, instead lets make them adjust to ours...Yao and the bench that should blow theirs away.

    I face palm every time someone uses "The Fakers". Can't you guys come up with a better insult than that? It's the type of insult you'd hear from a 10 year old in an 80s movie.

    I was thinking about that too. Yao and Bynum is fine, but Scola does not defend Gasol well at all.

    No. Make them adjust to having to play Brooks and Yao. If they double off of them? Let them get lit up by Martin and Arizas cuts to the baskets and Scolas flops to put Gasol on the bench early. Then bring in Miller to destroy their backup along with Budinger, Lowry, Battier, and Hill to mop the floor with the backups who wouldnt be able to match this year. Clearly a different Rockets team drastically to start the season than last years. Alot of teams are gonna have trouble with Yaos size alone and still the skills to make them pay for his size and rebounds and whatever scoring he can still do. Thats too much for most clubs even with Yaos 28 minutes a night if Brad somes in too later in the game and leans on the team some more for half a night as his replacement. Thats similar to the beef Celtics and Lakers are bringing in every night with Gasol, Perkins, Bynum. Only taller actually now with Hill in the mix too now.

    If the Bobcats run D.J. Augustine at center should we counter by re-signing Malick Baidine to exploit the mismatch?

    I feel like a dork but fixed lol
    interesting scenario you present it could be beneficial to put size vs size to matchup with their frontline but remember Scola did just fine in the starting lineup but it could be a nice curveball tho

    Odom is not even a factor.

    So essentially we pay Scola 9 mil a year to come off the bench whenever we match up against good teams?
