    So many people here suggest putting Boki or Jimmy at the starting small forward position. That makes me wonder if you folks really have some common sense of what really is going on in this world. Sorry if i offend anyone here by saying it. But here's my SMART analysis:

    Boki - - - drafted purely for his shooting. he can't shoot, at least for now.

    Jimmy - - - not a starter quality. ice-cold shooting under the Van Gundy system. Needs time to re-adjust.

    DO YOU PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER WHAT VAN GUNDY SAID ABOUT yao and francis BEING DOUBLE-TEAM AND THAT A SHOOTER WOULD BE OPENED FROM THE PERIMETER?

    So Yao or Francis to pass the ball to Boki to shoot? Gee guys, what's the chance of that ball to drop in the basket? Think, guys, think!!! Do you guys seriously about having Boki shooting the ball under that kind of situation. I can tell you guys straight - - - THE SHOT(s) WILL BE WASTED!!!

    Solution: Go to Pike. When Yao/Francis on the court, Pike should be there as well. He can take full advantage of the double-team.
