    Not sure if you watched Pop's matchups, but he takes Splitter out of the starting lineup and makes him duncan's backup when Lebron plays PF, neither Splitter nor Duncan can guard the perimeter at all

    So you think he would start Diaw instead? Because we know that he will have Kawhi guard Lebron. He did a good job against Lebron in the finals. Parsons can't guard Diaw or Kawhi. As good as Bev is considered defensively, he can't stay with Parker, especially with all the screens they run. And we know that unless Harden comes in with a renewed defensive vigor next year, he won't try too hard to guard anyone on the Spurs, so Danny Green will get plenty of open looks. I think trying to play Lebron at the 4 would be a mistake for the Rockets, even if he is the best player in the world.

    More like, Splitter guards Lebron? Pop would pull Splitter in a heartbeak.

    How on earth did we manage to beat them all four times? If we stupidly add LBJ we might as well throw in the towel and not even show up.

    Regardless, I don't want to see Lebron playing PF on the Rockets wasting his energy trying to guard all the star PFs in the West. Yes, none of them would be able to guard him, but that is still misusing his talents to me.

    This feels a lot like last summer when random media members kept having different, conflicting takes on Dwight.

    Because a guy with professional wrestlers in his Twitter profile picture has tons of credibility.

    Jorge Sadano is a talk radio guy. He doesn't have any inside information.

    This is like the guys on 610 at night saying that the Rockets can't trade Asik.

    Guy is a long time Heat broadcaster according to the interwebz. It does match up with cyberx's post about LBJ not thinking much of Howard.

    there has always been a strong dislike for Dwight...the hate last year from the Lakers nation was palpable...I love how Jorge knows what Lebron is gonna do, and his relationship with Dwight...
