    is it the one on Beechnut in between D.A. and Synott? or the one off of old Westheimer?

    Pretty much agree here. To much offensive fire power on this team now to keep Mr. Glue on the floor for big minutes. I see him starting and playing no more than 26 minutes per game.

    Um not really. he turned up to training camp last year at a whopping 250 pounds. he was around 240 during the season. so him being back around 215 ponds sounds about right. he's ideal playing wheight should be around 200 to 210 pounds.

    OT: I talked to Emeka Okafor at a driving range (Richmond and West Houston Center) before the summer. It could be the same one...

    Yeah. i love battier, but with bonzi in shape and francis back and will be playing majority of he's minutes at the 2 guard,it means tracy will play a fair amount of he's minutes at the 3 again.

    Last year when tracy was playing the 3, gundy used battier at the 4 . adelman with scola wontbe doing that anymore. 26 minutes sounds about right.

    No Bonzi is a power player. He lives on the inside game and his jumper is shaky. 200-210 is too light. He should play around 225 when he has the quickness and power to knock people around.

    one

    I think we all know that Battier will do whatever is required without complaint, thats just the kind of guy he is.

    two

    to the OP, you should have a USB cable that came with the phone, dig it out nad hook it to your computer,then transfer the pictures to your pc and from there to Flickr.

    On another note, you should be ashamed of yourself for not being able to recognize Mike James. :)

    I absolutely did not know this. You must hook me up with a great driver at a discount and you must post threads in the hangout about any forthcoming Callaway demo days.

    But if yu look at he's best seasons statisics wise, he was allways around 210 o 215 pounds.

    I lso see bonzi playing at the 2 guard and posting the smaller guards like he did in sacramento. thats he's strength. he creates mismatches because of he's unbelivebly good postup game. the bonzi we'll see this year will look light years ahead of the previous bonzi that we saw and cringed lastyear.

    Yao, McGrady, Battier are all gonna play less minutes. And Rafer probably isn't going to play any and Head hardly any.

    I think Adelman is gonna try to keep everybody at 30 or less per. He's gonna wanna come out against weaker teams and blow them off the court so he can rest everybody in the 4th. I don't think we'll be seeing Yao and McGrady in the 4th if we are up 25 like we saw during the JVG era. They're gonna be getting plenty of rest, rest, rest until playoff time. Then I can see Adelman adjusting them guys minutes up another 5-10 per game in the case of 111 and maybe shortening the rotation slightly. But, even come playoff time, we are gonna have a solid 9 man rotation with

    1. Tmac
    2. Yao
    3. SF
    4. Battier
    5. Bonzi
    6. MJ
    7. Scola
    8. Hayes
    9. Brooks

    Thats hat i've been saying and everybody here keeps brushing it off. if you look at Adelmans teams, they were all 10 deep and noone played anymore 32 minutes. that as one of the reasons the kings and the blazers were so good. they just wore teams down with there superior depth and rotation.
