More playing time for Bill Walker in the Playoffs?

[Binky-King]

I know I'd much rather have an green, undersized, aggressive Bill Walker taking up some minutes at the 3-4 spot, than the non-rebounding, non-defending, foul machine that is Mikki Moore.

I don't think there's any chance of it.  With Tony and Powe back, and Scal ready soon, I think Walker is going to be firmly planted to the bench.  I doubt he's even active for the majority of our playoff games.

Doc didn't show much trust in Walker during the season; I can't imagine he's going to rely upon him in the playoffs.

I agree. It will help a lot to have scal back too. He will open up the floor and give us another good defender at the 3-4 spots.

Bill Walker will and should have his seatbelt firmly fastened during the playoffs.  This is not a time to get someone who has rarely played all year minutes.

I would love to see Bill on Lebron, Getting in his face in a series, even if its just for a few mins to get some fouls on someone besides pierce, Let Lebron know that our rookiee isnt even scared of him.

Unfortunately, if Walker even glances at LBJ he will be called for a foul.

I have been very pleased with Moore's enthusiasm and his improvement within the C's system.  He's given us minutes he was never expected to have play and he's hung in there.  Irrespective of how you feel about Walker, Moore deserves more credit than you've given him here.

But he could try to give him at least a very scary look

I actually don't think Billy would embarrass himself against LeBron, because I don't really think LeBron has learned to outsmart his opponent yet.  He just tries to turn the game into athlete vs. athlete, and the veteran vs. rookie factor that Caron Butler used to kill Walker is kind of neutralized in this case.  I'm not saying Billy could stop him - even playing that way, LeBron is still the best athlete in the game and nobody is going to shut him down - but I'm not so sure that Bron would destroy him.  As athletes go, Bron is in a class of his own, but Bill's not too bad himself.  

Let me flag this remark by saying that I don't think Billy should see the floor in the playoffs unless somebody gets hurt (God forbid).  I do think Walker would at least survive on defense, but he would be useless on offense - at this stage in his career he can't score on LeBron.

I don't want to see Moore unless 2 out of our 3 other bigs have fouled out.

he did get a T in that CHI game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GL-DhQ7tus <--- for that dunk (and ensuing grill he gave miller).  would like to see some mins from him ut highly unlikely (esp if good TA shows up)

[xmuscularghandix]

i doubt he wouldn't be active, it seems that Doc counts on him more than Pruitt. and it'd be silly to not dress as many as we can.
