Against Sacremento, I think that our starting lineup should be: Francis Hawkins (if Mobley not back) Rice Griffin Ming I know that Eddie has been benched here of late, but he can match up well with Webber defensively. Thoughts? the x man
We need to let Eddie play for the Comets for the rest of his contract and then bring him back. He should be ready after playing there for 2 seasons.
After seeing the way Elton Brand destroyed Eddie a few games ago, I doubt he would have much success against Webber. I think Kelvin Cato or Kenny Thomas would do a much be job against Webber.
Yea, but Brand's game and Webber's games are different. Brand is more on the block, and in the games that I have seen of Webber, he lives more at the mid-range level. I feel that Griffin would match up well. This would provide us with Griffin, Ming and Hawkins on the floor at the same time. This seems like a solid lineup both offensively and defensively. Defensively we have Grififn, Ming and Hawkins on the floor at the same time, and offensively we have Ming, Rice and Francis, with the offense revolving aroung Ming in the post. This is what sparked us last night. the x man
Actually, Weber plays so much out on the perimeter and high post, Id rather see KT take him to start the game. My guess is Griffin will see some time at the 5 if Yao gets into foul trouble early (with Divac's flopping, this is a very good possibility) and some time backing up KT. Has Mo become the odd man out? Hmmmm......
I don't know, but MoT does have a big contract. Maybe we could trade all are players with high contacts Cato\MoT\Rice|Moochie to the T-Wolves for KG? You think they would do it??? LOL. All I know is either Griffin, Thomas, or Taylor will not be here next season.
I just don't agree with Eddie starting against the Kings. He still too big of a liability on offense and he does not provide much in the way of rebounding. Rudy should continue playing Eddie sparingly until he proves he is ready. KT or MoT should start against the Kings.
Griffib should come off the bench.He can block some shots but KT can take Webber's charges when he attacks the basket.Cato might get some minutes against him as well. Mo-T looks like he is hurting.If he is fit then he should come off the bench to shoot mid range shots.
