D'Antoni said he wants his rotation down to at MOST 9....... so once JJ comes back.. what is it going to look like?

Duhan
Craw
Q
Lee
Randolph

Bench: Nate, Chandler, JJ, Gallo?????????

Looks like Mardy is left out :( damn shame I'd like to see Mardy play... Honestly this would be MY choice:

Duhan
Crawford
Gallo
Randolph
Jeffries

Bench:
Nate, Lee, Chandler, Collins.

2 gaurds 2 bigs. the end.

No room for Q......... But there u have it

what do you guys think?

Excuse me. How does Brokeback get over on Chandler? For that matter how does Fishlips surpass Lee? Back to the drawing board.

I'm not sure Gallo is a rotational player- I think more likely they get his feet wet early in the game for the first few months.

Lee
Randolph
Richardson
Crawford
Duhon

Nate, Chandler, JJ, Gallo. Give Collins spot minutes for defensive purposes, like how he should have been given minutes at the end of the game last night b/c our guards were being lit up.

VDesai is right though. Gallo shouldn't earn a spot automatically. Make him earn his hot spot.

Well, I personally like Chandler off the bench and Gallo would provide the spot up 3 point shooter like Q is supposed to be, I think with the rest of that starting 5 he fits in... He is a better shooter than Chandler.. and Chandler can come in and cause havoc off the bench.

Fish Lips over Lee only because he can play defense inside, which is what we desperately need, and the thought of Nate/Chandler/Lee coming in as a 2nd unit just gets my underwear dirty. with poo. and pee.

I agree, im talking about ULTIMATELY once everyone is healthy.. like what is the goal... like towards the end of the year... D'antoni has already says he wants Jeffries at center.. so im just looking at it like that

D'Antoni never said that. Alan Hahn predicted that. Hahn is right, but if Lee plays as well as he did last night, then Jefferies is coming off the bench, whether Lees defense sucks or not.

No thanks to Gallo at 3 for me. I need a guy who can play both sides of the ball right away at my swingman position. While everyone was going gaga over Gallo defending Livingston. Chandler was guarding Marion and Wade. If you like Gallo as a shooter I recommend you put him as a shooting guard. Fish lips had fewer blocks and the same about of rebounds as Chandler and Balkman last year with more minutes. Once again don't see it. He is now more myth than man.

Lee played a good offensive game but his defense seemed worse than ever. He also got tired so we can't rely on him to play those kind of minutes minutes and produce like that every night. The Heat have no big men, what happens Vs. philly?

I'm starting to question Lee's commitment to conditioning. He looks like he never hits the weights and last year he played himself into shape. Lee, please do your gym work, it can separate you from the others.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Lee looks like he lost weight. I am a little surprise he didn't add mass. Maybe he expects that it will hinder him in this offense.

It's a touchy situation with Lee, isn't it? He's not that quick, but he relies on finess, so he can run the court. Yet if he only adds muscle, he'll be even less quick and less able to run the court like he is now, and he wont be as explosive (For grabbing rebounds and running the court). However, he'll be a better post defender, even though there are less and less pure post players coming around. He'll be specialized in guarding the Eddie Curry!

Therefore, I think he concentrates on basically running sprints and shooting over the Summer, with a limited weight training. I wonder what he can bench?

I think if anything, he needs to work on his quickness, if that's possible.

you can do all of the above Allan, you can build strength, get toned, be explosive and quick... its just about being in shape.. Like is aid im not saying he needs to BULK UP .. he doesent need to add body mass.. he just needs to get stronger, get FIT... then again, most white players in the NBA are not that physically cut up.. maybe its just in comparison to dudes like Corey Mcgette LOL... Look at a guy like Kenyon Martin.. he is not BIG but he is toned as **** .. Josh Smith.. same thing.. these guys are quick as hell.. but STRONG... not saying Lee neds to be Dale Davis, but he could at least gain some
