4/30 - [2013 PLAYOFFS: GAME 5] Blazers @ Rockets 9:30PM EST

NO. He won't be moved. He is HUGE for us in the PO. Even in the regular season, he is much needed as the only qualified center off the bench.

We're soooo lucky Asik wasn't traded, otherwise we would have been swept. I dunno, I say just start him. He wants to start and it isn't that bad, just gotta adjust the team strategy a bit.

He won't be able to start in the reg. season. Because there are many b2bs and consecutive road games. And this is why in the PO without worrying abt fatigue, Asik can keep his feet fresh to run the floor well and move quick laterally.

these days a TT lineup won't work in the regular season unless the team has a good offensive system. you know what this team does a lot of. i was all for the TT in the beginning, but i didnt know the offense was gonna be so stagnant.

I dunno why that'd be such a big concern, he averaged 30 mins last season and with the addition of D12, the improvement of TJ and DMo, small ball with Parsons playing the 4 I'm pretty sure he could handle it.

Agreed, need better offense next season if TT is still around, ideally with multiple picks for both the ball handler and guys without the ball along with lobs and kicks to fully utilize the three ball handlers/shooters and two big men lineup. Encouraging sign is that Asik has hit 2 midranges in the post season and is 100% from the free throw line!

Either Asik or Howard playing PF is considered too slow in the reg. season due to the fatigue problem I mentioned above.

Huge game tonight! Can't wait.

I know, but it seems that me that if their minutes are staggered and they only play a little more than 30 minutes a game, it shouldn't be such a big problem?
