    The 4th Qtr lineup was Moochie, Steve, Cat, Kenny (only because he was having a helluva game), and Eddie (ROY-rookie of the year).

    We would have gotten killed on the boards by the Knicks if it wasn't for the ROY. Kenny had a great offensive game for once.

    However, we're consistently out rebounded and the Knicks only shot 39%, I think. We shot 50% and almost lost, why out rebounded.

    Our best defensive and rebounding lineup appears to be

    Cato (playing better but not rebounding effectively)

    Thomas (improving, blows too many easy shots)

    Griffin (Ed is a 3, I don't care what you guys say and we would dominate all other 3's except for Kevin Garnett)

    Cat (Calm down, he need's redlin, hyperactive medicine)

    Steve (Sign him now before it costs the more the franchise)

    Moochie's game winner only made up for his horrible turnover late in the game trying to drive around Camby. I think Charlie Ward hit a couple of 3 over Moochie).

    The best rebounding & defensive team

    C - Willis - Great rebounding, good defensive post player, can't block shots
    PF - Griffin - WOW what a defender... Bill Russel at 19
    SF - Morris - Great rebounder, great strenght, 6'9'' and athletic enough to stop any SF.
    SG - Mobley - Best perimeter defender, also blocks shots, and fast
    PG - Francis - Best rebounding guard in the league even though not very large, not a great defender but much better than Moochie

    Eddie Griffin has played a grand total of zero minutes at the small forward position this year, his defense and rebounding get better the closer to the basket he is, playing him at the small forward, and thus away from the basket, negate some of his rebounding and shot-blocking excellence.
