this starting lineup isn't working
there's zero offense with a front court trying to score over guys way bigger than them, and Miller is useless because the frontcourt isn't drawing enough attention, and Brewer and Foye aren't offering enough either. McCants is the only person with a prayer to create offense.

Otherwise we're going to be down 10 points after the first quarter 80% of the time

they aren't trying hard enough to get Al the ball in good position too, rather have him shoot 8 for 20 than hoisting hurried perimeter jumpers with 3 seconds left on the shot clock

no threat of shotblocking whatsoever on defense is killing the team, but worse is that the offense isn't getting it done - supposed to be drawing doubles and triples down low and kicking it out to perimeter shooters, but if a team has some decent defensive big men like Dallas, they can stay at home more often - that's when you need McCants to create from the perimeter....or Foye, but he's been hypnotized to think he's Eric Snow and we don't know when that's going to wear off

cut Calvin Booth already and re-sign Richard. I don't see how we can release Ollie, he's our best point guard

[_AIJ_]

pls dont start gomes and start love for the rest of the season. he'll average a double-double if he starts.

yep. I don't want to see Ollie being cut unless Foye picks it up and Bassy is back into his form of last season. even then, considering both players have had some question marks regarding health I'd rather keep The Stache. there is no Jaric who might step in to take some pg duties off of Bassy and Foye.
