With Z going out, we really need our big men to step up and produce some points out of the frontcourt... We're going to be missing his production down-low and his presence down there is going to be missed...
Joe Smith is the guy that they need to start posting up more and getting more touches too, as we need to milk him for some points down-low with Z out... He's fully capable of it, I just don't get no plays have been run for him since he's been traded here...
But the thing that I'd like to see happen is us go small and I don't why Mike didn't try to do it against the Bulls, when we wouldn't be at a disadvantage... We really have the pieces to go small and it usually works well with having guys that work well in the open court (LeBron, Delonte, Andy)... It's also nice to go small because it forces the other team to compensate and it usually creates mismatches with a PF having to guard our SF... I like it when we go small too, because we usually seem to reel off some real runs and when we are struggling on the offensive end and with offensive movement, it usually helps in that area too...
