    I think Torres is playing better then Rice on offense and defense, so why sit the player who is clearly better?

    Just sit Rice.

    Rice would get killed at SG, he's simply not fast enough on defense. Just picture him trying to guard Cuttino, or other sg's like Iverson and Kobe. :eek:

    SteveFrancis3, you are correct. Rice is way to slow to be a 2 guard. Against the Knicks, he'd be too slow to guard Sprewell. Is Cuttino gonna play tomorrow? If so our lineup should be Mooch, Cat, Oscar, Kenny, and Willis (Cato will start though, cause for some reason Rudy thinks he should start over Willis).
