    He doesn't do will against Hybrid 3/4s and Mchale doesn't call plays where he can take advantage of his size against them so it looks like he is getting demolished.

    Currently injured and the few NBA minutes he played early on he was thrown around like a rag doll.

    Your lack of technical knowledge of the NBA game is astounding. Delfino may be listed by the announcers as PF but it is Parsons who has that responsibility on the court unless a defensive switch occurs. Like the PG debate, who is the PG of the Rockets? Harden or Lin? It is a game of match ups and the Delfino-Parsons rotation is used to add a small ball flavor to the lineup.

    Dmo should have been posted up, he did ok tonight, drew 3 charges, but the team really needs to get him the ball in the post.

    I acknowledge that it works about 25% of the time. Just because it is an exceptin does not mean its a good idea. We wind up getting burned a lot more often .

    Dmo was terrible tonight. He's a rookie so its expected but no need to sugar coat stuff.

    hotballa was using the reverse jinx to ensure delfino would get those crucial offensive rebounds. We promised we wouldn't tell anyone for the sake of the antijinx society but our witchcraft related jinx circles and candles made all the difference tonight. If things get bad enough we might use a lamb to offer to the basketball gods.

    didnt yall hear JVG when Rockets faced GSW when he said thats what makes then dangers is when Delfino plays PF cause he stretches the floor now you have Parsons and Defino and Lin and Harden on the wings it makes it difficult to defend he cause of all the shooters

    They were down 18 points at halftime. It looked like they were going to lose.

    Delfino has experience.

    He also got the clutch rebound at the end of the fourth quarter in tonight's Wolves game which led to a Parsons three
