    The Magic beat the #1 Pacers yesterday & it had alot to do with their pick up of PG Rod Strickland. Its about damn time that Lue didnt get any time (i think he's injured) & Rod did. In 37 min of play he had 13 points, 8 assists, & 5 rebounds. If i was the Magic coach there's no way i would let Rod waste away on the bench any more, give him the starting spot and let Lue back him up. Lue just isnt good enough to start but Rod has been there & done that, he knows what it takes, IMO of course.

    Now imagine Strickland or T.J. Ford right where Moochie is. Looks good, huh?

    Strickland is good when he isn't high. He's even good when he is. But he's still a weed boy.

    Lue is injured right now. That is why R S started.

    Are you guys crazy? Don't ever underestimate Tyrone Lue. He give you quality minutes.

    However, Lue shouldn't really be considered a starting point guard for a couple of reasons. First, he is pretty short. Second, he is not all that great of a passer.

    What Lue is good at is, being a hustle player who can play defense and make the open shot. I would trade Mooch for Lue any day of the week.
