Landry and Scola in Playoff Form 

Post#1 » by College Boy » Thu Mar 6, 2008 9:28 pm

Do you think Scola and Landry can keep up their excellent play in the playoffs? Or do you think their lack of size might get exposed as we get further in?

My friend the aswer is YES. the one ingredient for the post season they have it and is that they dont panic, forget about the size, lets the other team worry themself about our quickness and hustle at 4.

6'9" isn't undersized. I have poll results as incontrovertible proof!

LOL well you can't argue with results. But naw seriously, our PF line up is 6'9, 6'8, and 6'6. That's considerably small, especially for the west.

It's the size of the heart not the size of the...well, whatever.

I see absolutely no reason they can't keep it up(lol). They've done an excellent job around the rim(ROFL) so far.

i can see the both of them playing the same way they are now. they might even step their game up even more in the playoffs. so my answer is yeah.

i just want landry and scola to get experience this year. I cant wait until next year to see a full year of Landry, Scola, and Yao downlow. we finally have some ballers now around yao and mac. I also love bobby jackson on our bench, i hope we can keep him

The 3rd greatest PF of all time - Sir Charles was only 6-5' or even 6-4'...I can see Landry as someone like Charles...Landry has raw power and hops...Luis is savvy and so fundamentally sound.

I don't know if Scola is the ROY, but he's definitely a top candidate. I haven't seen Horford enough to know, but he's doing far better for us than Durant for the Sonics. Other than that, my sentiments exactly, go JVG!

I wouldn't do that. I think it depends on the matchup though. Deke should start against teams like SA or Detroit or whatever teams have a solid frontcourt, and if we have to go smaller you can bring in the Chuckster and Landry. I prefer having Landry off the bench anyways. Either way, it's working right now so why fix what ain't broke?


And moofs your new addition to your sig reminds me of my favorite poster whom I haven't really seen here in a while(maybe since Yao went down?). It makes me sad. WHERE HAS HE GONE?!
