They should play him against Kings 20-25 minutes, because Cousins is not playing and that kind of impact is enough by Dwight. Keep him fresh for the Clippers game.
There's no way the Rox can continue to compete out west with Thorton starting at the 4. Just no way......
I've noticed things have improved since Jones got (unfortunately) injured. Forced McHale's hand. My pet peeve is seeing the offense run through Jones.
If you're watching the Memphis @ Portland game right now you know what I mean. At least start Harrell and let Ariza go back to the 3.
You're right, I would much rather play Capela or Harrell at the 4. We seem to be experimenting with the lineup anyway and we are hurting on the rebounding end. I would prefer Harrell start at 4 and Capella come in as a center.
The problem with having Dwight or CC + Harrell is that none of them can shoot so having 2 of them in at the same time basically clogs up the paint. I think Marcus is doing a great job at the 3... don't you? He's not the problem. They look like they aren't on the same page yet and James can't hit anything... except his FTs.
another injury era where we need updates everytime before a game starts to know if our maxed center is playing
Dwight just needs to play both games, even if limited. Capela as only big man vs. that Willy-Staucey and Cousins is straight up murder. Same with the Clippers.
Means 2 things 1) Dwight feels good 2) Rockets in dire need of bigs Agreed with everyone saying Howard should play at least limited minutes both games.
I'd take it slowly on Dwight. He effectively is just back. While our record, our goals and being in the Western Conference means there is urgency, I still would think it might be better not to risk back to backs yet.
Agreed, especially since the b2b's on the road. Also the 2nd game's against the clippers. I think McHale will play Dwight enough in the Kings game to win & see how he feels at game time for the clips.
