You mean Jeff Foster? .

I'm not too worried yet at this point, because every squad has their weakness, and it doesn't seem like the hole at the 4 is too much of an issue. Yao will be guarding all the best low post players anyways, and no team in the league has two great post players.

yea yao did a great job on boozer in the playoffs

The Rockets' biggest need is still at the PF position. Scola looks too inexperienced and foul prone. Nobody at PF has the size to defend. If only we could trade some of our guard glut to get a decent PF backup.

It's only Scola's second game against a NBA team. Rocket's have Reed & Harris.

Does anybody think that the snickers commercial on SopCast is really fake? Was that the point? I don't think they wanted us to see the guys dressed in black because the background is all black... that is just ridiculous how evident it is.

I think they were just copying some japanese variety show in which seeing the guys in black is part of the segment.

I think it's a mockup of the legendary matrix ping pong video. If you haven't seen it yet, you've missed out:

i think it seems like tmac and adelman have an understanding of what each other wants.

tmac is too good of a player so i guess he doesn't need help w/ any system.

also, we have a lot of guards. adelman still needs to decide a rotation.

I should of known you would bring that up... but Boozer is not exactly your traditional low post presence, in that I mean Duncan or shaq who plays with their back to the basket. Boozer played well because it was a complete mismatch... we should of never played man to man in that series to begin with.

boozer is a traditional low post player. what are u talking about? yao was just too big so he used his quickness on him. v. other players, he posts up a lot. he's like the new version but not as good karl malone.

again, yao couldn't guard any big man in that series b/c okur would have pulled him outside. it was a defensive mismatch for yao. now we can go w/ scola and hayes for stretches if we want.

Ok that's preseason. We have James, SNyder. Maybe Novak will play. We do not need tracy right now...

Personally, if I were Adelman (and by no means do I claim to have anywhere near the IQ in basketball), I would put the A-team out there in the first quarter, then as the second half roll around, run an offense without T-Mac... thus leading to using him as a facilitator in for the second team because they seem somewhat lost out there.
