Suns were outrebounded by 20 in yesterdays game?

It is incredible how mediocre big men look like magical superheros against the Suns. Mind boggling. Way out of hand...

Agreed.

At this point, I'd even start Collins at PF and Lopez at C. They'll get the job done. Will teach Amare and Frye a lesson on the bench.

This is RIDICULOUS! The reason the Suns offense is so good is because of the spacing created by having big men who can play on the perimeter. If you put in Collins and Lopez, you've replaced an incredibly athletic pick and roll player who is money out to 20 feet and a big man who shoots threes like a guard with two guys who are almost useless on offense. The drop-off on offense would be much, much greater than the improvement on the glass and defense.

Ahhh, now I got it. Amar'e is playing better defense, he said, and in fact he's right. He's also defending the pick and roll better, doing better with help defense. No, he's not great or even much better than adequate but that's still an improvement.
As Denial also said, giving up that many 2nd chances is a recipe for disaster but RoLo should address the defensive rebounding inequity. It's the offensive boards that trouble me - it's really just Lou and Duds going after them, and neither of them start the game. In that respect, we have to shoot well, or else.

Damn Straight
