Minnesota should try 4 guards

BRIGGS · Post #1 » by **BRIGGS** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 3:39 pm

and Jefferson in the starting line up. Go 4 big 1 small for atleast 30 minutes out of the game to open up the floor and bring in Love Smith and Gomes as needed off the bench but leaving 3 guards at all times. This should help with offensive output.

i.e

C Jefferson
G Foye
G MCcants
G Miller
G Ollie
C Love
F Gomes
F Smith

And Foye would get abused by Paul Gasol, Amare Stoudemire, and my grandma downlow.

Maybe, but it's not like the Wolves can get much worse. Gasol, Stoudemire and your grandma would have problems guarding Foye on the perimeter.

try it in a game that we are already losing...

miller, foye, mccants could be deadly from 3 (as long as foye and mccants don't shot like they do this season) ollie or telfair can be the players who create open looks for the other 3 and Jefferson is business as usual...

don't think it will work on defense....as earlier said we will be owned on D...think it could work if we had a large sf that can shoot 3's and play pf but miller is a tweener at best and the other 2 are just guards...

I suppose our defense is already horse poo.

GRANDMA'S GOING FOR 50!

I'd rather go all big:

PG Craigers and his crossover
SG Carney
SF Gomes
PF Love
C Jefferson

we can't guard the perimeter or shoot anyways, so we're losing nothing, but gaining rebounding and inside scoring

I don't know why Cookie and his Killer Crossover doesn't get more minutes at the point. He's the missing piece to a championship squad.

i dont like big al at the center postion dont get my wrong he does work at that spot however puting him at the powerforward postion will be better in the long term.. however drafting love cleary that cannot happen

Devilzsidewalk · Post #9 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 7:34 pm

Love can guard centers. For what it's worth, Love's PER at center is way better than his PER at PF. Of course, when he's playing PF, it probably means he's playing against starters with Al on the floor. But that works against the argument though, so ignore that.

Maybe the rebounding display tonight was because he read your post?

Wouldnt his grandma need to be a C/PF. Or is she the mythical super-dimensional Point-Forward-Center-Guard aka Poiforterard?

shrink · Post #13 » by **shrink** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 5:31 am

She's Larry Johnson.

That would be Grandmama.

I've been know to inspire.

My grandma is kind of a point center. She's a hybrid of Shaq, KG, and Scottie Pippen. She's been known to make a no look pass off her elbow, a la Jason "White Chocolate" Williams, once in awhile. She'll dream shake then cake bake.

She's got skillz that killz.

If we trade for his grandma, the last place she is starting is PF. We have 11 of those already.

But not one of our current PF's shoots FT's granny style

I ended up a 5'10" white boy with no vertical. I might be the milkman's kid twice removed or something. I can coach though, as long as it's 8th traveling kids.

EDIT: Which would be an improvement over the way the Wolves have been playing. Hell, 4th grade girls rec ball would be an improvement.
