    You think so, huh?lol To each their own..............
    I don't think so. It appears you think so.

    So why don't you define a "small ball unit" as you understand it according to height, weight, scoring skills/location and anything else that you want to define it.

    I have already defined it as I see it. A small ball unit is one in which the average height of the players is below average, one in which the low post game is very limited and one in which the rebounding is significantly below average. Though the last point could apply to a unit that has the other two qualities but just can't rebound.

    Now it is your turn

    Are you up to it.? or are you going to respond with some sarcasm or an attempted put down?

      I think when Triano/BC mentioned small ball for 10-11 they were thinking of something like this

      Johnson/Bargnani
      DeRozan/Weems
      Calderon/Kleiza
      Jack
      Barbosa
      That is the wort defensive lineup in the league. Triano is not dumb and would never put out a lineup in which there is barely any defense at three of the five positions.

        I never said I was in favor of it.

        I happen to think that small ball sucks under any circumstances except in a frantic play to close a big gap in the score with very little time left in the game.

        I think based upon the current Raptors roster the Raptors best lineup will be

        Johnson
        Bargnani
        DeRozan
        Kleiza
        Jack/Calderon depending on whether Calderon is still around.

                  Like I said to each their own. If that's what you call a small ball line up so be it. I'm not going to waste time arguing over something I know with someone I don't know. I adhere by the never argue with a fool because from a distance you can't tell who is who- especially over the internet- doctrine. Not a diss, just keepin' it 100%.
