    I like that Bev, Brewer, Parsons, D-12, Asik lineup. Only if we're ahead of course...

    I can't make a thread, but I wonder whether Mchale will bench Howard when teams are implementing the hack-a-ho strategy when they are down. We saw the strategy work against the Lakers last season as D'Antoni stubbornly kept Dwight in the game, leading to a Rockets W.

    Does Mchale keep Howard in during these situations or take the super star out?

    I think you have a couple lineups that you go to at the end of the game depending on situation.

    Best overall

    Howard
    Parsons
    Harden
    Lin
    Bev

    Bigger and D oriented
    Howard
    Asik
    Parsons
    Harden
    Beverly

    Hakeem
    McHale
    Howard
    Horry
    Asik

    Size and clutch shootings.
    Jokes aside, isn't this thread a bit premature? It's only been one preseason game.

    ~lol~ na, no. It's all good. I just thought it kinda cool. Can't expect non-elite young players to stick around.

    No, he can't. And he was actually shooting worse from 3 going deeper into the season, something like 30% or so.

    If we are protecting a lead:

    Beverly
    Harden
    CP25
    Asik
    Howard

    If we are coming from behind:

    Lin
    Harden
    Garcia
    CP25
    D12

    Nicely put.

    So it seems most times we will be protecting a lead as a Lin-led offense would have usually put us in the bonus.

    Sounds good to me!

    if the line up coming from behind can made the score from negative to positive, this means this line up can also be the line up that "protecting a lead".
