Per 36 minutes, Amare is averaging 13.2 points and 4.7 rbs. Tyson is averaging 11.3 points and 11.3 rbs.
You play Amare at center and we have the games' worst rebounding PF and worst rebounding C in the starting lineup.

Err, you made a mistake there. Those are their per game averages no per 36. Per 36 Amare is putting up 21.5 points and 7.4 rebounds and Tyson is at 12.2 points and rebounds.

Thats the point. Tyson can help us more in the playoffs and Amare will probably be useless. Rest prevents many things and hopefully the flu/virus/whatever.

And btw, not sure where you got your numbers from. Tyson in the playoffs per 36:

8.6 pts (pretty bad)
10.2 rebs (ok)
0.7 assists vs 1.4 turnovers (bad!)

lets not go gaga over those numbers because they ain't that great.

I was citing this year's #s.

I was looking at the playoff numbers which is what I care about.

and Amare is 21.5/7.4 per 36

Amare is a volume scorer now? At 55% for his career? Our most efficient offensive player. As opposed to JR??

Woodson's ultimate downfall will be him thinking JR is our 2nd option on offense

Why? I'd be shocked if career playoff #s better predicted future post-season performance than current regular season did. The current regular season is both more recent and in most cases a bigger sample.

do you really believe that?

Do you really not? The obvious answer is that the bigger more recent sample is better. The burden is on you to come up with evidence for the alternative.

Despite the fact that Tyson & Amare get in each other's way

but let Woodson continue to start James "Flight" White and let JR freelance for 40mins and we'll go out in the 1st round again

Then what was the point of this thread?

Gives Woodson another option since he is so dead set on not playing Tyson and Amare together. Eventhough he has Kmart and Camby available to back the two of them up. And Novak gets more open looks playing with Amare and Melo. Since everyone wanted Jared Dudley and JJ Reddick so bad because Shumpert can't shoot

Also one of the biggest myths is that there's something fundamentally different about post-season than regular season play in general.

Ok ... for starters

Tyson PPG per 36 - Playoffs last 3 years:

8.4
8.8
6.7

Reg season:

13.1
12.2
12.2

Hhhhmmm - interesting start to my research. This should be interesting.

Of course he is good enough to start for most teams.

He was not worth what we paid for him though.
