Will a Big Line Up solve our Rebounding Issue? 

Post#1 » by raptoratode » Thu Jan 31, 2008 3:56 am

Just wanted to get your opinion. Does inserting a centre in place of Moon ( thus moving Bargs or even Bosh into the SF position ) solve our rebounding issues?

I know the rage nowadays has been playing small but we are no way close to being Phoenix or Golden State.

Letting Moon join Kapono, Delfino, Hump and TJ (or Jose ) in the second unit will run rings around oposing team's 2nd units.

Thoughts?

like a lineup of


Rasho
Bosh
Bargs
Parker
Calderon

??

it might be better for reboudning, but bargs cannot guard the 3, we need moon in their to guard their best player.

I dont know about you, but i REALLY REALLY liked last years line-up. It almost seemed like we had 2 teams
but with a little fix up, maybe something like this would be nice

I.e.

Ford, Bosh, Moon, Parker, Hump
Calderon, Bargs, Delfino, Garbo (jk .. man i miss this guy), Kapo, Rasho

Last year i really like the combo with Calderon, Bargs and Garbo .. but now :( ...

GARBO COME BACK !

taking moon out of the starting lineup will not alow us to score? how so?

the only problem here is defensive matchups.

All it would do is help the refs seem smaller than they actually are.

I was suggesting more along the lines of Bosh guarding opposing 3s and Rasho & Bargs defending the bigs. If Bosh gets beat, once or twice by the opposing 3s on the defence, I can live with that ( they'll have problems on the other end defending Bosh anyways 80% of the time - net effect - we still end up on top ).

I am already resigned to the fact that Smitch will never pull out Bargs out of the starting line up ( which will always equate to getting beat on the rebounding ) so why not put an additional rebounder to augment that issue.

And there is no way we don't score with that line up as alluded to by some of you. Bargs can be himself jacking up 3s without getting pressured to get in and mix it up inside. HE IS NOT A CENTRE NOR A REBOUNDER. So why not play to his strengths?

Meh, I just see that as a potential recipe for disaster if it gets CB4 in foul trouble.

I don't want him exposed to crap fouls guarding 3's or getting extra junk giving too much help D to Bargs.

Rebounding with Bargs & Bosh on the court can only be improved by Bargs improving or getting an upgrade on AP at some point in the future.

Boogie's right...when it comes to rebounding, Moon is not the main problem. We don't rebound as a team. The bigs are getting outrebounded and the long rebounds are not being controlled by the wings
