All of our bigs are soft like tissue paper. Aldridge and Gasol are going to dominate tomorrow.

Alridge and Gasol are kinda the definition of soft players (and i am saying that after having followed the blazers from 2008 till last year). As long as ref don't buy all Gasol's flopping and don't score 10ish free throws, there is nothing close to Marc Gasol in their roster.
The main issue for me is with their guards though, especially if Batum keeps sleeping in defense. If Parker plays, Hornets could have a real chance to get this (MKG should take care of Kawhi). Pnr defense will be the key obviously, and transition defense. If the starters are back to their "standards" defensively, there is no reason to panic.

Those guys are very skilled and it takes tough physical play to throw them off their game. We don't have that in our bigs. They will have a field day tomorrow.

I don't think Zeller is soft at all.

I agree. Plus, he is stronger, as you would expect for a big man just into his mid-20s. Hibbert is not soft, either, but he seems to lack the mobility he once had.
