Big Men

That would be terrible.

for that specific matchup? or you just wouldn't ever play Blair at the 3? then your beef is with Obstructed_View, he's the one advocating playing these guys at the 3.

I think Blair could guard Odom much better than RJ

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, don't jump on Vander, it was my idea. And yeah, I'd rather go big than small. There are plenty of matchups where Bonner or Blair would be playing the three position. Both of them can move their feet well enough to stay in front of guys and they're long enough to challenge shots. If their man gets past them, guess what? Two seven footers, or one seven footer and Antonio McDyess, which will have to do.

Even if it doesn't work, it's got fewer downsides than going small. I'd rather have the other team shooting from the outside all day long than scoring on the inside all day long.

McDyess has been showing signs of life the last ten games or so, I don't know why he was benched. It's almost like Pop sees a completely different team play every night.

Blair > McDyess > Bonner
