    I don't know, off-hand, if Richardson can move again.

    Ty - the problem we're seeing is, the well is somewhat dry. We're all looking for that legit, #2 scoring option, but that guy isn't out there. The hope is Roddy B is that guy - one that can score or get into the paint with relative ease. Dwyane Wade isn't out there at this deadline.

    I love the Prince option. He gives you everything Butler provided when the team was jammin' in the early parts of the season. He'll give you that size/defense you're asking for and he's smart enough to fit in quicker than others would.

    hypothetical question here, say we make it all the way to the finals and face the heat

    who is going to guard lebron?

    who is going to guard wade?

    stephenson/marion can't play all 48 minutes. whenever one guy is off the court, exactly who the is going to pick up one of the best 3 players in the league today? peja? jj barea? jet? tell me
    But at the same time, we have to ask who from the Heat are going to guard the Mavs, namely Dirk.

    You don't think every team is asking themselves that question?

    honestly, this is where the effect of chandler and the team defense as a whole comes into play, and still make it possible to limit these guys. however, this is also where not having Butler hurts the team the most.

    +1. Who is going to limit Roddy, Terry, or JJB? All three of these guys would pretty much be able to score at will against Chalmers and Arroyo.

    A healthy Roddy would be very key in this series, as his ability to push the ball would really exploit a big weakness in Miami.

    it hasnt been great, but at the same time, they are having to basically incorporate two new guys into the system. it will take some time. also it seems like they have backed off the zone defense that they played so effectively early on. perhaps they are hiding it a little bit, as well as giving Roddy and Peja more time to learn it better.

    which is exactly why i've been harping on this ever since the moment they broke the news of his knee injury, we NEED to replace him with a similar player (bigger wing guy who can create shots and play d)
    meh, I wasn't ever that impressed with his ability to create shots, but his size and defense was definitely nice. but his ability to "create offense" was pretty much just launching fadeaways that didn't go in very frequently. I think Prince could pretty much fill his void perfectly fine, only Prince attacks the basket a little more frequently.

    except prince doesnt play defense anymore and he's a scrawny pussyboy
    id still rather have Wallace or Jax, but I still would be pretty happy with Prince.

    It works for teams like the Celtics and Spurs. They don't have individuals that can guard either straight-up so you rely on strong team defense to make up for it.

    Yeah but show me evidence that when it comes down to play with the big boys in the playoffs, that anybody on this team besides Chandler is going to play team defense.

    I've got 10 years of evidence saying the defense as currently constructed will fold when it matters.

    I still don't get this ing bull about wanting an expiring contract to stay flexible and . Is Mark Cuban really so re ed that he thinks playing for 2 or 3 years down the road is a good idea?

    1. Dirk only has 2 or 3 more years.
    2. This may be the only year in the next 5 or 6 where Miami is beatable.

    I don't see how it's not painfully ing obvious that you have to go for it RIGHT NOW.

    You don't need one. If 10 times out of 10 a team finds a way to piss away a season with ty defense in the playoffs, then you have a really really really good idea of what will happen in year 11.

    rofl, all 5 of Boston's starters are good individual defenders. Do you have frontal lobe damage?

    But I thought that, in years past, the lack of a real #2 was the problem for this team. So if they have that option, does it beat out the need for good team defense?

    Cool. 1-1, which of the Celtics can defend Wade and/or LeBron?

    I can't wait until Denver trades your ass, too.

    Pierce and Allen can do a WAY better job guarding Wade and Lebron than any SG/SF combo on Dallas (unless of course you include Marion which means your offense will blow).
