Re: Playoff Debate: Bogut vs Ezeli

I don't really like the thread title, it should be more like, Bogut and Ezeli better than Ezeli and Biedrins.
In all truth, the team will need both, because I can see inside muscle being key for the team against Denver's inside athleticism. Bogut's intelligence is off the charts and I don't see anyone in Denver's bigs anything like that. The team will need to box out and rebound at their best and they have the tools to do it. One other thing that could be very much a factor will be fouls. Not only do I want to see the Denver bigs getting in foul trouble, but our bigs will need to limit their fouls, yet foul to the maximum when needed. I'm all for being physical inside this series on defense. Lee is not a goo defender, but he has some girth and strength to push guys around. Bogut is big and strong, as is Ezeli, Landry somewhat also. They'll need to use their tools to push the young Denver boy bigs around a fair chunk. Like to see them go for offensive rebounds when they're getting smacked well and good.
Our bigs are far better off playing skillful on offense, with some strength and smart and strong defensively, with Bogut's tough attitude leading the way.
