At least he'll have a better chance of staying in front of his man at the 2 - even if he'll have a size disadvantage. I'd rather give up a little size than letting guards penetrate at will.


Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. But does that mean we'd have to pair him with a true distributing PG?

Of course, he's not not exactly Reggie Miller off the ball. I still think he'd be best running point.....

For the Clippers. :no:

If Flip had played McGee with Blatche late in the game Bargnani would be owning a loss for yesterday's game.

The Wizards coach made it easy on your big.

No, I think Gil's shown he can play effectively with pretty much any type of guard - though I wouldn't want to team him with a ball-dominating PG.
