Should the Rockets start T-Will, Patterson and Hill for the rest of the season?

  1. No, Scola, Battier and Hayes should start until the end the season. It's "Win Now" or bust.

  2. Yes, T-Will, Patterson, Hill are the future. It's time to pass the torch.

    Brad Miller has a trip-wire temper and is mistake prone, especially on defense. Brooks, Scola, and Martin consistently make mistakes on the defensive side of the floor, and Battier's suffers from a severe case of performance anxiety on offense. Mistakes are destined to happen, and learning through trial and error is part of the maturation process.

    Patterson has definitely proven that he's worthy of increased PT, and T-Will's game will only evolve and develop consistency with in-game experience.

    I think Scola is a keeper, He just needs a big defensive center next to him to make his own defense more effective. Guys like Okafor, Tyson Chandler, Biedrins even Dalembert would be a good fit next to Scola. Problem is we can't get any of those guys.

    Great idea! Let's fire Adelman too and just not have a coach. Starting career role players is a great way to lure a star free agent.

    Or I could just say it. You're a moron.

    Rox are now 3-15 vs teams with winning records, 4 games behind Portland(really 5 because we've lost the tie breaker), 5 games behind Denver(Down 2-0 in the season series) and 5 games behind NOLA(Down 1-0 in the season series).

    Rox are 1 game behind Memphis, .5 games in front of GS/Phx and 4 games ahead of the CLIPPERS.

    All that with our current starting lineup... :mad:

    Adelman hasn't lured any star free agents with his methods. Ariza is not a star. Brad Miller is defensive matador. Von Wafer was a scrub that wanted a job anywhere. Ishmael Smith was an undrafted guard.

    If Adelman is luring star free agents, he has no idea what a star is.

    How many more loses before there is no chance of making it to the PO's? Or are we already there?

    Rockets are 6 games ahead of the last place Kings and 14.5 games behind 1st place Spurs.

    If the Rockets win the next 5 games, they can pass Grizzlies for the 10th seed.

    If they lose the next 5 games, they could move up 3-4 lottery spots.
