    He's right. You don't go with all smalls and not run. I know were hurt. So to maximize what you got why guys are hurt, if you go with that unit, you run. Orlando is a team that shoots a lot of 3's. If you get misses, they go off long. That gives you a chance to run and get easy buckets with a small unit. I have pretty much given up on ever getting out of the sewer running until either 1) Nate is no longer coach or 2) We get an elite PG who is so good, that they just don't bother listening to Nate, because they know he goes before they do.

    I understand the logic of running if you don't have height. However, I don't think there is any logic in running when you only have 4-5 rotation players healthy. By running, it forces Nate to play guys like Cunningham, Howard, and Pendergraph more; I'm not sure that increases our chances of winning.

    Run? This is a Nate-coached Blazer team you know. Even at full strength they have no idea how to run. Asking them to do it now is like asking LaMarcus to bang in the paint. Not damn likely.
