    Thinking about it, I advocate an experimental line up for Jeremy during the game.

    Jlin
    Parson
    Delfino
    Greg Smith
    Cole Aldrich

    Parsons can drive and shoot the 3.
    Delfino can shoot the 3
    Greg is big and can finish.
    Cole is big and can finish from P/R as evident from a couple of highlights with harden already.

    You seriously need to chill. If you don't have anything constructive to add, please leave (as I'm sure you've been told many times on this forum).

    The coaches are unfamiliar w/ the players still and even though some things might seem crystal clear to us, things are rarely so cut and dry especially with basketball. Give tihs team time. Inexperience is the word here. Both the coaches and the players will struggle with execution because of their collective inexperience.

    I'd love the Rockets to somehow pry Eric Bledsoe, whose minutes are being eaten up by crawford, from the Clips. An explosive athlete and scorer off the bench with the potential to be a lockdown perimeter defender. Plus he's shown that he can play off the ball in college with John Wall and with the Clippers with Chris Paul.

    Knicks will be very happy any team wants to do a trade for Amare.

    I'm not one so willingly to cite the bleacher report but there was an article that was quite interesting. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...struggles-are-here-to-stay-throughout-2012-13

    So basically run with the bench?

    I like this lineup, actually. Poor man's Linsanity. :)

    Exactly ;)

    But the key is to slide this line up during the game, rather than demote Lin to the bench entirely, that would totally kill what little confidence he has left...

    Well, they can't demote Lin, really. Who would be announced as the starter? Toney Douglas? :eek:

    Lin would help the bench be more productive too. I like this scheme, but they won't do it probably... basketball reasons. :rolleyes:

    We should have picked up Dantoni when the lakers were still trying to ask Mike Brown to dance.

    Funny thing is Lin is getting paid 5 mil this year, 5 mil next year then 15mil in the 3rd year.

    You know what they are doing? They justify the total worth of contract over 3 years based on 11 games performance.

    They are not that bright are they ;)

    If Houston had won in overtime against Portland with Toney, you bet your bottom dollar Lin would have been to the bench in future games. Sampson would have proclaimed himself as a genius for going with Toney.

    Another extra 5 mil bonus from REEKO_HTOWN because Jlin make All Stars Team for 3 years! Thanks REEKO_HTOWN for so generous to Jlin. You are a true Rockets fan! Thank your for supporting your team.

    I read on another board someone saying "Lin isn't a 40 mil player" and someone else said he was getting 28 mil.

    People don't understand the terms of his contract or something.
