    "Rudy Gay is easily a double-double guy," Griz head coach Marc Iavaroni said. "He may not be as good a rebounder as Shawn Marion is, but if we're going to be able to play him for an extended period at the four, he's got to approximate (Marion) more and more."</p>

    </p>

    Iavaroni started Gay at power forward for a third game, and it helped Gay continue to shake a shooting slump he ended by making six of 13 shots last Friday at San Antonio.</p>

    </p>

    In four games before a loss at San Antonio, Gay struggled through 19-of-59 shooting (32 percent). He had a total of four offensive rebounds, and averaged 5.2 boards during that stretch. -- <font color="#000000">Memphis Commercial-Appeal</font></p>

    He was doing good a SF, so I guess they'll bench Darko. Or maybe they should start him at SF.</p>

    I think he should start at PF for at least 7 more games. This has nothing to do with his positional eligibility in fantasy.</p>

    Darko is injured.</p>

    Where does this leave Hakim Warrick in the rotation?</p>

    In the Wizards game the other night, Miller played a lot of minutes at power forward and actually looked decent. I'd prefer him over Gay for the simple fact that he crashes the boards better (7.5 rpg v 4.8 rpg), but also because he's had more experience playing in the post.</p>

    What is this team coming to though? Playing two-guards in the middle and leaving Pau out of the offense?</p>

    Anyway, I think Marc Iavaroni should be fired.</p>
