^that would be nice, but usually PGs don't guard SGs.

Like San Antonio for example, will have Bowen guard Roy, not Parker.

so Parker is going to be guarding who exactly?

So by playing a bigger line up we can force other teams to adjust to us. Force teams to double in the block leaving someone open for a cut, wide open jumper or lob pass. It would be almost like watching real basketball

The Point guard? Unless the PG is their best offensive player and then Bowen guards him.

In the New Orleans series, when Bowen is guarding Paul, Parker is guarding Mo Peterson i think?

Err, yea... thats the point...

I'm not sure why we are going round and round. If Brandon is in at PG, Fernandez at SG, Webster/Outaw at the 3, who is a Paul/Parker going to guard? How isn't that at least as big a physically daunting mismatch as trying to contain those guys on the other end? I'm recalling a mid-season BR quote relishing this situation...

What are you trying to argue here?

Parker would guard Rudy, and Bowen would guard Roy... in the 10-15 minutes that Roy would play PG.

Obviously Parker would be giving up like 4 inches to Rudy. When did i say he wasn't? all i said is i don't think Roy should have to be chasing around the PGs on defense.

If Rudy is smaller then Roy (he is), and is already being guarded by Parker, why wouldn't he in turn be the primary defender on Parker? Of course switches will happen on D so defenders have to guard lots of different guys, but generally I'd rather have the talented bigger player then the smaller talented player. Bigger players tend to wear out smaller players more then vice versa... for this reason I especially like the cumulative effect of having a bigger team.

Dude, that is what i'm saying. I don't think Roy should have to guard those PGs.

Roy would have an adv. on the PGs when they are guarding him, which is pretty much the only reason i like the big line-up.. that and that we can get Rudy and Roy play together.
