Dear Boris Diaw

I still believe in Boris... I think Portland's combo forwards were a bad matchup first game. Long term I'm concerned with the bench duo of Lyles Diaw, but who knows... maybe it works. Also, Favors may never complete his uneven bars routine which I hear is the final hurdle to him coming back.

The letter summarizes the overreaction perfectly though. Great work.

How do you see him matching up vs Julius Randle and Larry Nance against the Lakers? Randle looked strong vs Nene last night.
 
Lemme put it this way; If you're playing against the Jazz why wouldn't you go after Diaw?

Isn't he obviously the weakest link in the chain??

For sure

It depends... I'd back the hell off of both guys. Randle on his controlled drives is a bully but I think diaw can take more contact than lyles. I was really disheartened when vonleh dismissed lyles so easily on one of his buckets.
 
One game does not a trend make. Everyone has a bad game now and then. From what I saw in preseason, Diaw excels at passing. But passing requires knowing your teammates; how many games has Diaw played with Hood?

Except for the Warriors. I'm definitely sensing a trend there. May have to start watching these draft threads. . .

Anyone can look good against the Rockets defense. Randle will assuredly do some stuff with his energy and athleticism, but I don't expect him to be anything we have to worry about as far as who matches on him.
