    Considering Mike Brown usually bases his matchup decisions on what works on NBA 2k9, he'll probably start Shaq and Big Z. I like Chuck, but can he handle either of those guys? Seems like they would just pound it in the post and abuse our tiny front court. Do you think we will just try to out run them?

    Mike plays Shaq and Big Z, he is just asking to get killed on transition defense.

    Not worried about Shaq and Big Z. Worried about Lebron dominating us.

    I'm pretty sure Big z took a quarter off last year or maybe ahalf, going up against chuck and then came back and bothered him the rest of the game...just too much of a height difference there and big Z won't be bothered by being kept away from the rim. However, Z isn't a power guy and i think DA's size may be enough to bother him and not worry about Z throwing it down on him or something.

    Shaq....i have no idea, it depends on whether he wants to be shaq the role guy or shaq the monster.

    Whenever we trade for Marcus Camby we'll have the guy to matchup with Shaq and Chuck/Scola can take Big Z. :D

    Till then like everyone else has said...RUN RUN RUN and where the big guys out.

    Well it makes to much sense but I really think Morey wants to see how things evolve with TMac before making any deals.

    Bima did make a few good points as to why the Clips wouldn't do it if Battier is included but still think its a possiblity if the Clips think they can compete this year and next.
