    if thomas does what we think he is capable of doing, and if grob provides the sixers the scoring they've always need from someone other than AI, and if DC play the way he did the 2nd half of the season, and AI shoots better than 40%, we have a team that WILL make it to the eastern conf. finals. match them up to the pistons, and NJ. we owned NJ during thr regular season, and if it wasnt for brown putting mckie on the taller prince, we would have won that series!

    go sixers!!!!

    Exactly. Too bad we didnt have Robinson in the playoffs to put on Prince. Glenn is taller, stronger, and a better defender. We were just out of luck with how our roster was against Detroit.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Answer:</div><div class="quote_post">Well what should he play?!!? You said he isnt quick enough for PF, but hes too small for C and cant guard Ben Wallace type players. So what do you think we should do with him.</div>

    too small to play center? and Marc Jackson isnt? DC is 6-10, MJ is 6-11, one inch doesnt really make a difference. Plus we are in the Eastern conference.

    I would put Dalembert at backup PF, he is extremely athletic, and a great shot blocker. Id rather have him as a backup at PF than a backup of a backup at center.

    Actually humanhighlight they are the same size, both being 6'10. But anyways, Marc is more athletic, as DC is more chubby and slower to get the job done. But on the other hand, Marc doesn't have that much experience. It was a hard decision, but Billy and the coaching staff made a good one, sure DC will have some trouble, but he'll get accustomed to it. That doesn't mean that he will be playing center the whole season either, Kenny can play sometimes, against smaller teams. Because we don't have such a big man locked down on one position, we are forced to rotate. I think we'll do just fine.

    What Love it Live said was what I was trying to get out. Centers have to be strong, kind of on the thin side, and flexible. Coleman, well isnt. He looks and is built like a PF. Only if Marc would start infront of him...

    True, he is built somewhat like a power forward but he cannot perfrom like one. He is too slow for that role, especially in the east. He would be a monster if he had some more speed.
