Can you tell me how Duke is going
to beat teams that are big?
They shoot the heck out of the ball,
but I just dont see them going far with
that lack of size.

Watched Dallas and Detroit today.
Have been very impressed by Maxiel.

Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Kobe.. and take your pick.
Thats just not enough perimeter D with too
many guys that work close to the basket.

There are no college basketball teams that are big.

Gasol and Bynum are both athletic enough to guard smaller big men. Odom doesnt do much more than float anyway and Kobe can be as good as anyone on defense. The Lakers also have enough depth to mix and match on the run. I really like the possibilities and want to resind my Spurs farther than the Lakers bet. The Lakers are a very serious threat. Dallas looks like they are totally out of synch. Detroit has some impressive guys on the bench. They need to play some of them like Affalo, Herrmann, Amir Johnson and Stuckey. Those guys can contribute solid minutes id given a chance to play. Johnson is averaging 3 rebounds a game which doesnt sound like much but he only averages 7 minuts a game. Stuckey is going to be solid and Herrmann, despite being funky looking is a really solid player who always plays hard.
