Robin Lopez Out Indefinitely

It seems PTD has a more similar skill set to Lopez. Makes sense to start him.

Ponytail is like a mini-version of Lopez. He blocks, rebounds, and defends pretty well, but he's nowhere near as effective at boxing out for his teammates, and bigger players can muscle him inside.

Ponytail wouldn't be able to guard a guy like Tim Duncan, or Al Jefferson, for example.

I know. But he battles and if you are looking at easing the blow with regards to style, PTD is a better fit to start with Lopez out.

I completely agree with you.

Ponytail should be starting alongside Amare, with Lopez out. Frye is an effective bench player, and doesn't have the rebounding skills to make it in a starting lineup.

I think Ponytail has earned the right to play big minutes for us while RoLo rehabs.

I agree. Collins is a true scrub. You CANNOT put Nash,Amare & Frye on the floor together for too long....and obviously Nash/Amare are going to start so...there it is.

Collins sucks,Frye is a reserve, so start Lou at the 5.
