...Marbury suggested moving Tim Thomas to Crawford's spot at shooting guard, and that idea seems to have a certain appeal to Wilkens.

"Everything's a possibility," Wilkens said. "I'm going to practice both of them at that spot and see."


Thomas struggled to begin the season and even found himself in Wilkens' doghouse for a time. But Thomas has scored in double figures over his last three games, including 19 points in 33 minutes against the Celtics.

Who knows, maybe this will help him. If he does play at the 2, expect to see a lot of postups.

When you pay him that kind of jack, he'll be selling popcorn for isiah if he has to!

Allan just does not have his legs yet.

More time for Ariza!

If they play TT at the 2, it probably means they don't think Houston is ready to start. JYD would probably start at the 3.

One thing is for sure you can't start Ariza and JYD together. Teams would play zone and double Marbury for the whole game. Ariza has to improve on his shooting.
