I hope not.. if JJ and Pietrus are our only wing players off the bench, that does not bode well for Orlando... especially with Pietrus and his tendacy to pick up cheap fouls...

I think a lot of fans and some of the staff are scared of messing with what we have. We think playing Rashard at the 4 was the reason we were good, and the reason he played good, because big 4s couldn't come out and guard him on the 3-pt line. It certainly seems that people are very afraid of moving Lewis back to his natural position where he averaged over 20PPG for 3 straight seasons in Seattle before coming here and taking a hit in points. We all know Rashard has no handle, but he is good at cutting off the wing so long as he doesn't have to dribble more than once. He also has a serious height advantage at the SF being 6'10". I think with the exception of the Cavs, Rashard can play the SF position with no problem. I certainly don't see him as a defensive liability so am happy to move him back to SF and expect 20ppg from him from here on out.
