    Five guys play in the first half, five in the second.

    It's crazy how underrated Eric still is on this board. He is one of the better defenders in the NBA combined with elite shooting and slashing ability. He's the perfect 3rd option and the Rockets are very lucky have him.

    I remember when he first came into the league, he was a twig with a motor and how he and Eddy Curry were supposed to be the Bulls' future. The Clippers traded him for Elton Brand at the draft, too... completely forgot about that.

    I don't think D'Antoni has ever met the 14th and 15th player. :D

    If by that you mean Anthony Bennett is the criminally under-rated guy with superstar potential if he could just get more playing time - much like Michael Carter Williams - then yes.

    The inside needs some changes. The outside of the building needs a lot. Wonder if its feasible to change the facade of the building. The bricks make it look old and draby.

    Well, as good as JH and WB rebound, that would put the lineup at:

    6'3, 6'5,6'4,6'6 and 6'10 for a large chunk of minutes. Only one guy above 6'8.

    That is going to be helluva ride, at least we upgraded the height of the PG.

    If you don't want a small line-up then you have to get rid of MDA as a coach. Morey puts together a roster that will fit the coaches philosophy and MDA lhas been plenty vocal about his love for a small lineup. If Morey got a bunch of big PF's then MDA just wouldn't play them plain and simple.

    MDA is already compromising enough already, because in his perfect world he'd probably play 5 pg's on the floor at once.

    The first year we had Ariza and Luc, and we made history win records.

    The 2nd year we were only 4th seed. We were pathetic on rebounding and defense due to midgets lineup although Harden played at god level.

    We need ****ing good SF/PF. All those championship teams have good forwards.

    We had defensive rebounding issues. Won’t go away easy.
