I think the NBA changed the rule for the entire season to allow teams to dress 13 guys. It was initially a 1 month thing, but they recently said it'd last all season.


Thanks for the heads up on that. So, I got 13 in there now!

Firing on cylinders, but just some of them.

I think Hedo is the key. Need him to play like he was before the back spasms.

exactly... and another good game from Nelson and J-Rich will help as well.

Back in 2009, Hedo played good against Lebron, even defensively. Problem is, Lebron is coming into his prime and Hedo is getting older. But, I know Hedo can still have great games on occasion. This needs to be one after the Clipper game. Hope he is at 100% physically.

I'd like to see Von guard LBJ some tonight, doubt he even plays though. Stupid Van Stubborn. :nonono:

This.

I would rather see him on Wade too, but, that's not gonna happen... he's not gonna play at all tonight most likely. as for him being to small to defend LBJ, everyone but maybe Clark are to small for LBJ. so it really doesn't matter imo. we're most likely getting raped by him... at least one-on-one. hopefully we win the game though.

I never like to say stuff like "it's not gonna happen" cause anything can happen. There are times this season that Von has played significant minutes and has performed well but he plays behind J-Rich who has seemed to turn it around and J.J. who is one of our main anchors off the bench. Is there a probability that Von does not get a chance, yeah of course there is. However Stan did blame himself pretty good in the last game, so hopefully he will make changes in the rotation and find a way to get Von on the floor tonight.

As for Lebron, yeah he will rape us if we play man which is why I hope Orlando plays a 2-3 zone for the majority of the game to protect the paint and force them into jump shooters when Wade and Bron are in the game at the same time. If we control the boards and protect the ball tonight, we will win.

I hope he does too, so he can push LeBron face with two hands, get ejected, and, get under LeBron's skin... then we won't have to see the cheerleader. while also stopping LeBron hopefully, cause when he plays mad, he plays bad.

This is a coach that makes adjustments and takes chances:

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/21 ... runch_Time

Why can't Stan take some chances with weird lineups like this? he always play them at there positions. the only position he doesn't mind playing at other positions is SF to PF for some reason like Shard and Hedo...

Edit: I'm talking about those weird lineups in crunch time... cause he does play Redick and Wafer some at PG, but, never in crunch time.

I would like to see Earl on Lebron at some point. Even for 5 minutes just to see if he can disrupt the flow.

Me too. he is one of two that has the potential to be a defensive stopper, the other one being Liggins.

If I wasn't so excited to watch drunk/hungover Jackson and Jennings I would be all over this game.
