Brooks Battier Artest Landry Scola You can't start Lowry and Brooks or one of them is going to be torched in defense.
Big Hayes Scola Artest Battier Lowry 7 Seconds or Less Landry Artest Wafer Lowry Brooks We may not win, but at least the second lineup will put on a show

I imagine we'll see Hayes. That's what I'd do in this case. Hayes can handle Bynum better than either Landry or Scola, and you know Phil will be rushing hiim back into the lineup with news of Yao's injury.
I'd like to see: Scola Hayes Artest Battier Brooks We're severely lacking in firepower there but I think it's enough defense to kind of keep it close. Off the bench I'd like to see: Landry Wafer Lowry Barry We ABSOLUTELY need to start seeing Barry in these playoffs. He makes some stupid mistakes sometimes and his defense is suspect but I think length is super important right now. If we can get Dorsey in there, I'd love it, but from what others have mentioned it sounds like he still has foot problems or something. I think if Dorsey can give us a few minutes, even if they're foul-plagued, it'll be good to set the defensive tone for the rest of the team. Will we see Brian Cook? I don't know. I wouldn't mind it but I'd like to hope that the staff can tell him to stop jacking threes and he needs to start playing up to his size.
All I know is that we better box out and force them to shoot Jumpers, because our average height is around 6'6", which means Kobe to the bucket all night long. My lineup, Scola, Hayes, Battier, Artest, Brooks, Bench Lowry, CrazyVon, Landry (need his scoring), and Dorsey (he has 6 fouls to give and rebounds to get). His athleticism may catch the Faker's off guard
As others have said, Chuck seems most likely. Might be Wafer gets it to keep the size up, but I'd prefer Chuck to be honest. Landry would be the other option if the choice is to go for replacement offense over defense.
i'd start von wafer and would let him guard ariza while artest can defend odom so scola can be on gasol. we really need wafer's offense and have to go small or the lakers will play big and destroy us. with small ball there's still a chance guys like wafer and brooks get hot and thus make the game winable.
Start Chuck Cant let Gasol Dominate. If you start Lowry, than you have to put him on Ariza. I do not want that.
What will people say when the Rockets win tomorrow behind Chuck's dismantling of LA's interior offense and Landry's ability to beat the Laker bigs to the boards?
Starting Chuck at either 4/5 position probably makes the most sense. We would just have to pray he stays out of foul trouble and continues to absolutely WRECK the Lakers' offense.
