also for tonights gamee i hope billups and turiaf are back… would like to see fields guard devin harris from the get-go and billups on raja bell, and also would like to see jeffries on jefferson with amare on millsap, i think both could do a great job guarding their man in that situation

thank god we didnt include landry fields when we grabbed melo and billups…… thats H-U-G-E, and will be looked back upon in a few years as a “wow, great decision to keep him”. not to the extent of the celtics keeping rondo when they landed kg and ray, but great to keep fields nonetheless…. kid is gonna be a stud allaround player at 2guard

I really do like this teams chances come playoff time. i want to see our pick/roll defense improve so very badly, which is why orlando scares me, because teams that run that type of offense seem to kill us (and cuz howard is just a beast and amare is the only one that i think can really compete with him if he decided to guard him and gave his all… but he’d get in foul trouble anyways!!! well, at least there is somewhat hope after seeing turiaf do a good job against him the other night in limited minutes)

teams that arent pick/roll heavy we have fared well against and do a good job on d… what a great addition jeffries is, perfect guy for our starting lineup with his defense and hustle, size and rebounding

heres to hoping all 48 minutes of center-position-play each playoff game is filled with jeffries and turiaf (meaning when jeffries comes out turiaf comes in, and vice-versa) and the only time we “go small” is when amare sits, which should only be about 6 to 8 minutes per game in the playoffs anyways as he’ll be playing 40 minutes per

i think our defense could be very good by playoff time with jeffries anchoring and chauncey stressing it… the offense is gonna be explosive regardless with a PG of that caliber and the best offensive bigman in the game in amare and one of the best wing scorers in melo… plus a plethora of shooters in a d’antoni offense

i really do like our chances come playoff time. alot
