Asik and Howard should just run around and set a maze of screens non stop the entire game. Have Howard under the basket and Asik just run back n forth setting screens on the perimeter. I wonder if that would work..
I am not sure about the starting job, but I want Asik to finish the game, because he can hit his clutch free throw.
If Asik was slightly more athletic, faster, could jump higher, and catch the ball more consistently...I would be for this.
The question isn't Howard, he's clearly better. The question is Jones, if we play Portland, do we want Asik on Aldridge?
I had a Dream last night that Asik and Dwight were on the floor together and they were Dominating the Boards and dunking everything.
I wished he had better mits. But he is the 5th option when he is out there. Even more so with Dwight in the lineup with him instead of Greg Smith or one of the Jones/DMo, Asik is going to be called upon even less on the offensive end. More athletic, faster, and jump higher??? He's a 7-foot Orangutan out there as it is.
Hate to keep bringing up Game of Thrones references but does anyone else read this crap and hear it coming out of Joffrey's mouth? I dont know that I've ever seen someone so fixated with power trips in the GARM. You aren't Morey's right hand man dude. Get over yourself.
Just stating why so few good posters even bother engaging you in basketball conversation. You are just too full of yourself. Sorry. Hate to be the one to break it to you. The TT argument has been beaten to death, and I believe the general consensus is that most folks think it should be used at first as more of a situational lineup, and McHale shouldn't throw a monkey in the wrench to the entire philosophy of the Rockets offense and defense right at the end of the season by messing with the lineup. Oh, and the other general consensus is most likely that you are a Terrence Jones Troll. You would think that you were the homeless guy in Portland by the way you exhaust us with your negativity on a damn good young player who looks to be one of the major foundation pieces to sustaining contending level basketball over the next 5 years.
Sorry you feel that way. Won't dignify this stuff further. This is about the Rockets. You always make it a personal attack. Won't go there with you.
No one forgot, we just don't care. He is playing now, and is on the team, let them sort it out in the offseason. DD
