    I'm stunned. I simply don't believe it. Is this the MDA that coaches the Rockets? Fake news!

    The 10 man rotation equals fresher legs and more consistent shooting.

    Please. I would love to see James and Chris on 30-32 minute restrictions the rest of the season.

    Sometimes it takes awhile to learn, I guess. Popovich had us dialed in last playoffs and called in the mortars despite being short-handed.

    Will never forget that game Dan Tony played 7 guys; Harden was about to have a career game but fell apart in the fourth quarter, sparking comments from the "I have grown to hate James Frauden but I am actually the number one fan of the Houston Rockets" crowd.

    Baby steps. Let's see 9 man rotation consistently first. :D

    Is this good or bad for our defense? I can see it both ways.

    You either do or do not! There is no "try".

    Notice what the difference is with MDA agreeing to play 10 players? The new one we got is actually a competent player!

    Easier to do when your 10th-best player isn't Zhou Qi.

    Before...
    • Rockets enter the 4th with a 23 point lead
    • MDA looks down the bench and sees Brown, Zhou, Weber, and Williams
    • MDA: "Uhhh, keep playing James/Paul/Eric!"
    • Brown: "Coach, I'm ready!"
    • MDA: "Let's extend the lead a bit more and then I will unleash Trash Mam... *cough* I mean you."
    Now with Green, MDA thinks "Hey! I have someone who knows what the **** he's doing now!" That said, I still feel we need an actual 3rd string PG that we are trying to develop. Maybe in this year's draft?

    Would take an upgrade over Black by trade deadline - worry about Nene availability in playoffs. EGo can handle 3rd point duties for short spurts.
