    I like this line up:

    Starter:
    Beverley - Harden - Parsons - Jones - Howard

    Bench:
    Lin - Casspi - Garcia - Motiejunas - Asik

    That is one deep team!

    I wonder what that airball did to Caanans confidence..

    D-Mo looking comfortable.

    He has looked very fluid. His post game needs to be utilized more though.

    Exactly, with Harden and Howard on your team it's hard for anyone else to shine. The 2nd unit is much more potent with Lin running the show.

    He will be gone by the end of the season with Asik.

    Dmo looking much better in the second half. He defintely has great skill offensively. I know its preseason but Rox look clearly better than the contending Pacers.

    Nice bounce pass to DMo by Canaan. He should tear up the D-League

    Game will be over soon. 2 minutes left.
    Every has a good game. I'm really excited for the versatility this team has to offer, and can match up against a variety of lineups.

    Paul George seems pretty ineffective most of the game. It's just a couple of preseason games but you don't want to see your max player playing like that.

    He hasn't been "benched." He's a better offensive creator than Bev, so he could be potentially more deadly off the bench when he's not sharing the ball with Harden/Howard. I'll need to see more games with it to be sold, but both he and Bev looked great in this game.

    Subtract Brewer with Garcia once he is healthy

    Lin
    Garcia
    Casppi
    DMo
    Asik

    Bev had some pretty good chemistry with that starting line-up.

    Can you imagine, a bench brigade of:

    Asik
    D-Mo
    Casspi
    Brewer (?)
    Lin

    That's pretty solid combo of D and O.... They'd be able to hold their own against some of the starting line-ups in the league and definitely over almost all benches.

    Lin gets the freedom on offense that he thrives in. Could be a win-win situation...

    if you're talking pure defensive line up, you have to take out Harden and put in either Ronnie Brewer or Francisco Garcia. Lin plays tougher defense than Harden so no, that was definitely not his best defensive lineup.

    You could argue that it was the most balanced lineup.

    I like Lin's play-making abilities with the second unit. He does a good job with the pnr for this unit.
