    Let us forget one inspring win and one terrible lose.

    If most of team has a backup C, you wanna have one, if Shaq, Duncan...has a backup, then you wanna have one...

    You/rockets are not smarter than anyone else.

    Everything this offseason will be dependent on Tmac/Tmac replacement, but considering Deke is out, I would be shocked if they don't have a backup C on roaster to begin the season.

    The best investment Rox can do is to hire a podiatrist (foot doctor) or get some BIONIC shoes that reduces the chances of foot problems.

    Size kills. No, I don't think we should go with this small ball lineup going forward.

    This midget Center lineup is nice for a curveball gimmick every once in awhile (like Game 4), but the second somebody decides to exploit rather than match it, we get blown out by 40 (like Game 5). Small Ball will get us a surprise win in a series but will eventually make us lose the series.

    NO MORE SMALL BALLL, let Don Nelson play his gimmick lineups, he won't win a championship with it, neither will we.

    ps. I'm not getting on you particularly for this post, I'm just sick and tired of seeing our 6'6 "Center" getting his ass handed to him by guys 10 feet taller than him.
