    Bring in Yi to play alongside Yao and McGrady if the tallest starting line up is the goal.

    I hope it works. The 2 biggest missed defensive rebounds in game 7 were Yao getting beat by Boozer and Battier failing to block out Harpring. It will take a while lot for Yao and Battier to make up for those failings. Of course there were many other mistakes by many players, but the final minute of the game 7 came down to those 2 mistakes.

    We could have Tim Duncan as our power forward and it wouldn't matter with Boozer. Yao is going to get stuck guarding Boozer every game because of Okur's outside shooting. That's just one matchup where we we'll never have an answer.

    I'm guessing there is some sarcasm there because if we had Tim Duncan then he wouldn't be the one guarding Okur. Yao would because Duncan is a better defender and rebounder so you would want him inside and in that situation it would be okay for Yao to be camped outside guarding Okur.

    that would prolly mean that okur is taken by Battier or one of the taller forwards as yao or duncan would be of no use on the permiter guarding Okur
