    jones has been so trash this series. Can't shoot can't defend. Parsons too. I'd start Lin over Parsons.

    Bev
    Lin
    Harden
    Howard
    Asik

    Jones plays to selfish. Too many times he tries to handle the ball too much.

    That's not true. Jones simply has no place to go with the ball when he gets it. The opponent drifts off him and helps on others and Jones is left spinning trying to figure out what to do with the ball. Jones is not selfish. He can't afford to be selfish.

    I agree with you somewhat. There are times he has no where to go. There are others where he is trying to do too much going 3 on 1 instead of passing out. In the second qtr he did this a few times.

    You and I called the importance of Asik in the playoffs and how Jones would get exposed. Kudos. :)

    Just Imagine if we would have started the Series with this line-up,we would probably lead.

    The issue is, he should leave it to the PG to make plays, not trying it himself as he did. Wait, we don't have a PG and it's a freelancing offense for everybody. :grin:

    The only difference tonight with asik starting vs aldridge was mchale running howard over to double late . As a result, the rockets were getting worked on the offensive glass. In the 2nd half neither jones or asik played much as mchale went small and howard guarded LMA. Good win though.

    I knew Jones wouldn't play great against Portland, but good Lord he's been awful.

    I love it. We're a better rebounding team too Asik has been b****ing about starting. Now is his chance.

    Other than howard, who is playing well for the rockets this series. Lilliard has had his way this series in 2 of 3 games. Harden is shooting 30%. Parsons and lin have been bad too. This is a closely matched series. If the rockets get 1 rebound they're up 2-1.
