<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Miami Herald - Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal played in a game together for the first time this season Sunday. But coach Pat Riley remains leery of playing the duo together. ''The upside is there can be absolute power, dominance inside,'' Riley said. 'But . . . someone can go, `OK, you're going to go big, I'm going to go with five guards.' I wouldn't challenge [that].''</div>Source
I think Miami should go that way unless the other team has a power forward that can shoot from outside. But against most teams it should work. The spurs could put Horry, Suns could put Marion, and Pistons have Rasheed, and Dirk with the Mavs. Against the elite teams it will be hard.
It's ok sometimes, but it's not the greatest thing. We're pretty slow with the two out at the same time and both get tired fairly quick, so we should probably stick to one on the bench for the most part. I'm not saying we shouldn't use it, but only when we need to. It might come in handy during playoff time.
I could see it work against San Antonio against Duncan and Mohammad. San Antonio's offense is based on inside out mostly and if Miami can shut down the inside than San Antonio probably will struggle offensively. Also it could get Duncan in foul trouble.

And that's what kind of hurts us also. But Dirk would kill us and Rasheed would prick us with a on the line game situation.
