dcash can we still make trades?

gremz, how are u going to matchup with billups? are u going to limit calderon's minutes because of the big disadvantage his defense gives you?

vintage, aside from pg, your opponent has solid defenders at sg/sf/c, how will u be able to expose amare at pf?

i don't think so. last time i talked to sixthman he said that he was going to give like 3-4 for trades, but he never announced a deadline or anything. i figured we needed to move this game along before it just dies. i'd say no, but sixthman obviously can come in say whats up. he hasn't though for like 3 weeks now, lol.

r0cd0gg, a guard rotation of afflalo, fernandez, sessions, stuckey, westbrook consists of 3 sophmores and 2 rookies, how will you overcome that?

ballboy, who is going to guard bosh? i see a lot of players that are either to slow or too small.

Post #20 » by **roc** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 3:40 am

Too much emphasis placed on age IMO and Howard will be my starter at the 2.

Stuckey/Sessions
Howard/Westbrook
Smith/Green
Bosh/Wilcox
Bogut/Pryzbilla

rest are situational

Green/Westbrook will be the first off the bench in this matchup. We have Size/Strength/Quickness at every position in the starting lineup. Smith will get some time at the 4 with Green or Howard at SF at times. Wilcox will be used sparingly at the 4 and occasionally at C when getting up an down the court fast is desired.

This team is built for Speed while also playing solid D and rebounding up a storm. The fast break will start off the D and the excellent passing at all positions should be a boon to strong ball movement.

All in all a fun team at both ends of the floor.
