Big Baby should start game 6. I'm serious. He's a charasmatic guy who has star potential ( if he trims about 20-30 pounds off that frame, gets a little more lift and speed...) I think he can become a very good player.
But my main point is that he's a guy that likes the spotlight, he's a gamer.
Also, he played Ilglauskas very, very well and he also played Duncan very well defensively. The reason is that he is so strong that he can get up and under these taller, lankier guys and they can not get anywhere near the basket. He's also way quicker than them so they cannot go around him either...
As far as body types go...Ilglauskas=Duncan=Gasol...they're all more finesse kind of guys, they're not bruisers.
Start Big Baby on Gasol and let him kick the crap out of him. This is a nightmare match up for Gasol. He DOES NOT WATN to wrestle with this guy, at all. That's also why he disappears when Kendrick plays him, because he's soft. If Baby keeps him away from the basket, he's not going to be able to rebound over his back anyway. Also with Baby up on him he's not as good as either Duncan or Zadrunas getting his shot off.
If the Refs let the players play, this might completely throw off their offense.
When the Celtics are on offense, the Lakers don't really have answer for Big baby either.
Just put him in and tell him to try and wreak havoc.
If it doens't work, yank him...but I think it just might work.
