why not start manu and finley

[td4mvp3]

you expect lebron to get his, but i don't think anyone has made him work very hard on defense. who has he guarded, really? vince carter? a depleted wizards team? tayshaun/hamilton? i think hamilton showed how ineffective lebron can be on defense. thus, maybe finley makes lebron pick up some fouls because he can't hang back like he would guarding bowen, and the three-pont threat remains.

So who sits then? Bowen? Parker? In either case, no. Besides, Manu warks better off the bench this time around.

bowen would sit, and even better, come off the bench to handle this gibson kid. he seems to be the only punch off the bench for the cavs.

What would be our "punch off the bench" then?

Beno?

Beno would give at least 20-25pts a night :rolleyes

horry, possibly, brent barry can be effective at times. i'm not sure if punch off the bench would be all that necessary once you negate gibson. the rest of the cavs bench don't really score much. donyell's scoring 3-4 points per game, he's the only other guy i can think of who comes off the bench. varejao doesn't.

Because Bowen is a better defender and Manu has played very well off the bench.

I said "punch" not "whiff."

Bowen got this.

based on what, though? melo and williams have shown they can overcome bruce. granted, it's a team game, but some of that got mitigated with the last game against detroit. the cavs are capable of making some of those open shots provided once the team defense gets focused on lebron.

melo and williams have shown they can overcome bruce.Which is why Melo and Williams are in the Finals....

[td4mvp3]

Which is why Melo and Williams are in the Finals....
yeah, i give you that. :toast

[Phenomanul]

Cleveland beat S.A. in the regular season with Manu starting.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Bowen got this.

:smokin



Bron is going to destroy Bowen, Pop knows this, Bowen knows this, Beno knows this, we all do

[td4mvp3]

Cleveland beat S.A. in the regular season with Manu starting.
hadn't thought of that. good point.

[whottt]

I guess that means Dirk>ShaqKobe

Why make radical adjustments before the series even starts?

I think Spurs will stick with what got them there.

They can adjust at halftime or in game 2 if necessary.
