84% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot.

Turkgulou (or HTF you spell it) is the key, he's been getting to the rack on Tay at will all season as Tay has to get way out on him to take away the 3.

We need to keep Howard out of the paint, not double and make him score over Theo/Dyess/Sheed from 6 to 10' away.

I PERSONALLY would use the hell out of Amir on Lewis/Cook he's long and can stay with them.

C$ needs to not pick up the cheap charges he's been getting the last couple years when he works in the post on smaller G's.

Take away the 3, take away the kick out 3, there aren't a ton of guys you fear off the bounce on this team.

If Flip has a feel for his team; he will give Amir and AA a chance to show what they can do early in this series.

Give Theo this series off too. We will need him against Perkins and Big Baby in the next one.

Huh? Give Theo this series off? Theo was brought in specifically to play D and give some fouls against good big men, and Howard is the best in the league. This is the ideal situation to use him.

You are probably right.

If I were Flip I'd twitch a lot, I'd park Lindsey in street clothes for this one and dress Walt Herrmann. Hunter and Spell-check give you essentially the SAME thing and Walter might be useful against Lewis and TurkeyGlue. Flip also needs to summon the intelligence to utilize Amir to guard these guys as well!

The TNT guys were talking about how the Pistons don't match up well with the Magic. I think the Pistons match up quite well!

Walter should be in (for Jarvis) to guard Turkoglu and maybe Dixon for Hunter to participate (eventually) in scoring contest.

Alot of this was predicated on Dougs opinion that Lewis being guarded by our PF or C.

I personally think Prince should check him. We'll see.

Couldn't agree more.

Can Hedu or Lewis handle Max in the post? Will Howard have to help out? Will Rasheed get some open looks off a Max double team? Can Max actually pass the ball out of the post?

I agree with this as well. ...I admit, I forgot about Hayes!
I AM a little worried about hurting Arvis' feelings though. After all, according to McConduit; he's "feeling blue".
