    If Crabbe can keep this up, we have a very good three guard rotation that we should build around. Add Plumlee and Davis with Aminu and I think there is a good balance of defence and offense.
    I hate to say it ,but Meyers is becoming the odd man out. He couldnt make his shots again last night and thats the most important thing for his game and this team. He is shooting himself into a trade and we wont get much for him.
    If we could package Meyers Kaman and Hendo for a solid starting PF, I think we need to look at it.
    I really like the core that seems to be developing out of Dame, CJ, Crabbe, Aminu, Plums and Davis. They continue to play better and better together. Some really good two on tow with Crabbe and Plums last night.

    If Meyers can get his shooting back up and prove to be consistent, maybe you replace him with Vonleh for that same trade... I don't know, but its rather obvious PF is our weakest position hands down.

    Keep the faith OB. Still early regarding Meyers. I expect this season to be very inconsistent for him. His shot will return.
    Having said that he may never be more than an effective role player off the bench. Which is fine. He fills a need depending on the matchups.

    Speaking of matchups.....I love our small ball lineup in the 4th with Dame, CJ, Crabbe, and Aminu. (With either Plums or Davis)
    That is a nice perimeter lineup. (Both on O and D) As long as Aminu can match up with the other teams PF......... it works.

    I didn't miss that at all. He can't do any of the things that Allan Houston could do except for shoot. Poor man's means that he can do the things that the person you're describing can do just not at their level.
