Seriously you wanna bring in Iverson to disrupt the flow of offense we're adopting right now?I really doubt he could perfectly fit into Rick Adelman's offense system to some extent. So,even though Tracy is nothing near coming back,the Organization's goal is to focus on the development of our young players rather than team's winning percentage of this year.
Lowry Ariza Budinger Andersen Hayes Backcourt bench - Brooks, Battier Front court bench - Scola, Landry
Last night we had two starters that failed to register even one point!! Doubt that would happen to any other team in the league. Without YaoMac, the league has the defensive book on us now: make Battier a driver and pretty much ignore Hayes allowing them to trap/shade the other three on the floor. Can you say 5 on 3.5? Since this is a "developmental" year, it's time to start Landry and CBud and bench Hayes and Battier. The latter two cannot improve offensively, but Landry and Budinger can be given the opportunity to grow defensively and get a year's worth of NBA experience. Last night's game was a poster child for this plan, with the bench getting us back in the game. What do we have to lose? D R
I'd strongly consider boycotting this team if Iverson was signed. He is the exact opposite of what this team was supposed to be. He'll jack up 30 + shots a night to get his 20 pts and we will lose. All this will due (in basketball terms) is take valuable minutes away form lowry and brooks.
Im posting this here because i didn't want to open a thread. But look at Scola he is tied for 3rd in the elague in double doubles and 1 rebound away of averageing a double double. (15.3Pts 9.9Reb) PLAYER, TEAM DblDbl 1. Chris Bosh , TOR 14 2. Dwight Howard , ORL 11 3. Carlos Boozer , UTA 9 3. Steve Nash , PHX 9 3. Luis Scola , HOU 9 3. Gerald Wallace , CHA 9 7. Andrew Bynum , LAL 8 7. Marc Gasol , MEM 8 7. Al Horford , ATL 8 7. Joakim Noah , CHI 8 7. Zach Randolph , MEM 8 12. Tim Duncan , SAS 7
I do agree with playing Scola,Landry,Budinger,Ariza,and either Lowry or Brooks together when we go our droughts. Chuck should start but if he is having a rough time,he needs to be taken out. Ditto for Shane. Andersen can continue to come off the bench.
