Pop liked to pull all 5 starters if they came out flat to start the game. The starters would get the message and when they're back in, they would play their ass off. Since they were actually playing against the opposition's 2nd unit then, they would flat out dominate. JB is trying to do the same but this doesn't work with Rockets' starters coz they don't have pride.
Yes, they are awful. Rockets just need to take care of business. Just go do it. No excuses. Suns have 6 wins....the past 2 months. Suns had 2 wins in January. Suns have lost 5 in a row. Suns just fired their coach. (Some of you will spin that as "See, see! They're playing hard for their new coach! Not the same lethargic team like under Hornacek!") Points scored those last 5 games: 97, 78, 84, 93, 103 Go take care of your business.
