You can only play a running game when you have players that can execute that style.  Eddie house is garbage at a fast break style. Maybe a little better than me running the break.

Can you give some valid facts/specifics to back that up or are you just bashing House as usual?!

I think the second unit should forget about fortifying itself with defensive players and try to optimize the offensive game. For example, no use bringing Scal as a SF, he sucks in that position right now. I like him as a PF though since he can spread the floor well taking a big with him. Sadly our lack of length in the bench doesn't allow the use of Scal as a PF much, maybe playing with Perk or POB.

Then you bring in Giddens and/or Walker since they should have a strong offensive game, plus they can rebound and finish well.

I think Eddie could do well in an uptempo offense, as long as he's not bringing the ball up, but trails the play. He'd have a ton of open looks.

This is a good idea

I personally think it an work but there would probably need to be the addition of a strong big and Athletic 4 or big scorer

Pruitt
Giddens
Walker
Get Channing Frye
POB

Yes yes yes I know no defence - but you can use this unit to run down your opponents

PS this team cannot play half court period!! :)
