I like that line up too, but I can't see them doing it much tonight unless Joel plays the whole game. We need at least one of the two big guys on the floor at all times with LMA out. If they both are out there together and they both get tired at the same time, the back up team will not be too good.
I'm not worried about the dropoff from LMA to Frye. Channing has shown when he gets minutes he's effective. I'm more concerned about TO on LeBron. We need Outlaw's offense, but it's going to be hard to get it when James puts two fouls on him in three minutes. LeBron always has terrific games against us. He may go for over 50 tonight.
No doubt. Lebron is going to get someone in foul trouble. Either TO or Joel. The only way to keep him out of foul trouble is to double team him outside, and then you run the risk of leaving someone open. And they have the shooters to burn us.
It took me until 2 weeks ago to realize the reason I liked Travis a lot more in 2009 than ever before is that Channing stole the "I need to shoot 22-foot 2-pointers at the exclusion of realizing my teammates can shoot, too" Mojo from Travis.
