    Who gets Tmac's minutes if he indeed shuts it down as he is saying.

    Personally, I would like to see Wafer, until Battier is ready....Wafer is extremely athletic, is a good shooter and will move without the ball.

    I guess the 3 choices are :

    Wafer
    Luther
    Barry.

    Whom do you think will start if Tmac is out?

    I think Adelman will start Barry. He'll want a better ball-handler than Wafer to replace T-Mac.

    Wafer is my priority, Barry should play with Aaron, and Luther, leave it out

    Are those the only options? We could really use Battier right about now... Another option, probably not for starting, but for rotations later in the game, is more of that Rafer-Brooks cookin that has worked so well in the past.

    Wafer but I don't think we will have to worry about this question for the next game atleast.

    Wafer could play his way into major minutes, he is much more athletic than any other SG we have with size.

    He shoots well, moves well, and attacks the basket when teams close out on him at the 3pt line...nice dish to Yao tonight for a dunk on a baseline drive.

    Let Tmac get healthy......and I am assuming Battier is still out, he is the obvious answer when healthy.

    Wafer maybe, then bring in Brooks with Barry and we're fine. I just hope T-Mac can get over that damn knee injury. Just sit out if you have to.

    Give me Barry, with Wafer playing a lot of minutes also..

    With Head getting minutes against teams that run 2 small guards... Head will onl ysucceed at the 2 spot..

    The reason I would not start Barry is he is just a sieve on defense which leads to a lot of drives and early foul trouble for Yao.

    Give me an athletic Wing to replace one....Wafer for me.

    Well, for the Dallas game we need someone that Terry won't blow by at will. Wafer might get the opportunity.

    Well let's hope that tmac doesn't miss any games but I would give the minutes to Wafer. Let the young man prove himself, however I think Adelman will split Tmacs minutes between Wafer and Head.
