You realize that Ariza is actually the one playing the 4. Brewer is playing 3 and Ariza is shifting over, because of his ability to guard multiple positions. Not saying I like it, but Brewer has not been playing the 4.
I'm pretty sure it has more to do with Brewer actually playing over Montrez or even Beas than the actual position he's playing.
Let's decide to overpower a team on the boards and not rank 29th on defensive boards. Put some power back into the game. Because Ariza can't carry Robert Horry's practice shoes.

Well, playing the second of two... you'd think we would want some fresh legs and energy off the bench?
I bet 38 year old Jason Terry plays heavy minutes tonight. I really didn't expect him to play so much this year. The young guys should always play second nights of back to backs but the rockets don't have coaching staff to make these adjustments. The coaching staff just seems like it's losing on purpose. The Rockets don't deserve the energy we put into merchandise sales, ticket sales, and tv ratings. That's only direct line of communication with the organization. Maybe then we will see a change, maybe even hire a qualified coach and play the players that increase our win percentage. Stop sending losers like Brewer to the scorers table. At this point, It's all just comical. I seriously can't stop laughing at this team.
Of course it is a preference to play said x player over y player who isn't playing. But Brewer isn't taking Trez's playing time. He's replacing Ariza at 3 and Ariza's logging more minutes in the game at the 4. Brewer isn't stealing Harrell's time, Ariza is playing extra minutes. Brewer is the backup wing, Ariza is shifting into the 4's minutes. He's preferring to play Ariza at the 4, than Trez. Only way Brewer plays in is he happens to be taking Arizas spot when the shift happens. Brewer is averaging 16 minutes over the last 3 games Ariza is averaging 38, it's Ariza (already along with D-Mo and Beas) that is stealing those minutes. Brewer is not playing over Trez. Ariza is the one getting extra time at the 4.
I can tell the coaching staff does not like Harrell, he shows them up for their mistakes every time they put him on the court.
I would tell the Rockets to F off if I ever declared for the NBA draft. I can only imagine how miserable it must be for our young talent... so annoying

Anything to get Clint out of any significant minutes. I've tried to be a fan, but I just can't do it for now. Sure, he has his decent games here and there, but he's too young and inexperienced. His stone hands and getting beat up around the rim are frustrating. He'll be better once he gains some muscle and works on some sort of offensive game. I still would take a "prime" Kelvin Cato over Clint right now I like Montrezl's energy more, and although he isn't really a center, he can play most of the bigs for a few minutes. He's got that bulk to do it. Same issue as Clint...minimal offensive talent or a go-to move, but that time with the RGV shows what he *could* do...
