AJ is definitely a 4 but, I think you need to watch AJ play or watch him play some more. One of his strengths is to catch a pass on the perimeter and then blow by his defender and take it to the hoop or pass off on his penetration if he is doubled on his drive.

He also has nice midrange face up jump shot which will only get better. AJ right now is our best or second best passing big man, depending on whether C-Webb returns or not. He is definitely capable of one day putting up a triple double without getting 10 blocks or 10 steals.

Only if ordering french fries.............and sharing them.

As I said in the rest of my post, I agree Amir is a 4...

But I agree, in Flip's offense the backup 3 has planted his butt out at the 3pt line and waited for a pass..spreading the floor for an attack on the rim that never happened...but I digress. If the 2nd team offense will be more of an attacking style with Stuckey handling the ball, Maxiell (particularly) and maybe Amir could spell Tay.

I absolutely agree Hog.

I went to game 2 of the Cavs series and saw each of the players live. My height analysis, based on my observations from the nose bleed section is that everyone on both teams looked really small.

I agree on all counts.

How about when ordering Pizza and sharing it?

Or better yet when ordering Pizza and Fries (which I have been known to do) and sharing them?

As I have posted before the key to the attacking style offense is the rebounding to start with. It is not just a matter of getting the rebound but what kind of confidence do your guards have that you will do that they so at least one of them can cheat on the shot to release down court.

The second ingredient as it were that is necessary to run an effective break is the outlet pass. If the guy who is your main rebounder can not throw an quick and accurate outlet pass then what is the point of having your guards release for the break?

The third ingredient necessary is to have guard than can effectively take the outlet pass and run the break in the proper way. Again not a given, as not all guards are good at running an effective fast break.

The final ingredient is do you have someone who can get out on the break once it starts and be in position to take the pass from the guy with the ball leading the break, assuming the ball handler doesn't go all the way himself, and effectively finish at the rim. For example, Delfino had an awful time finishing at the rim. In fact I never saw anyone who was so consistently bad at it.

So running a fast break offense requires a number of pieces to all fit together.

From what I have seen so far; AJ can definitely rebound and throw an effective outlet pass. Hot Rod can run the break and he along with Mejia and Afflalo can finish at the rim.

I haven't seen enough of Mejia to have an opinion on his ability to run the break and from what I have seen of Afflalo over the years he is much better finishing on the break then he is running it.

It doesn't matter how tall he is.

He was probably 6'7" and change when he was drafted and is now 6'9" and change barefeet.

Oden is 6'11" barefeet. I can handle my ultraversatile SF/PF being 1.5" shorter than Oden.

He's like a lottery ticket we can't quite read, and have to bring it in to see if we've won 2 million or 5 million dollars. Either way... we b rich.

You SHARE your pizza............The wife and I always order two of them....... She likes her toppings and I like mine... rest is tomorrow's lunch..........

If separate toppings are desire then 1/2 a side with one set of toppings and the other 1/2 side with another set of toppings. Never found it a problem to order that way.

One mustn't forget how JMax out ran the Cav PF/SF several times for strong finishes in his breakout playoff performance, just a few weeks ago.
