BIG Baby is needed - mark my word ...

It's not about either LeBrown (P.J.) or Baby. It's LeBrown and Baby, at C and PF, respectively. Both can give us a huge push together on the court, but either Pierce or Ray need to be in there with both of them.

Meh. I rather see Powe. BBD size means he is slow on defensive rotations and can't stop and start quickly. Did you see the time he flipped OVER Wally? He couldn't stop. His size also inhibits his ability to finish around the hoop.

He COULD be effective against the Pistons as they are not as gigantic upfront at Cleveland is - but I would rather see Powe get the minutes first.

Well to be fair so does Pierce's lack of athletisim. But the both finish quite well so that doesn't really seem to matter much.

And I don't think Baby's ever really been slow on defensive rotations. He has quite good agility and moves his feet well, exceptionally well for his size, but in all well for his postion.

PP athleticism is LIGHT YEARS ahead off BBD. The guy can't get off the ground. PP beat out Ben Wallace on a jump ball the other day.

BBD is starting to really tick me off. Doc keeps going to him and he gives us NOTHING. Just slow rotations - and though he gets in position when he does get the ball he can't finish.

He needs a longer leash with Powe. I understand Powe screws up a bit but he can do some postive things for you.
