    We need a backup center bad. When Dwight gets in foul trouble, like he did tonight, we will be exposed.

    Also, DMO is a perfect 6th man off the bench and should be finishing games for the rockets IF he keeps this up..

    In other news, the Jazz blew out the Blazers by 20 in a very meaningful preseason game today.

    I'm all in for this. Nick has the potential to be a surprise positive gem for us. I'm down to let him grow with us.

    Depending on how Terry and Garcia look, both Bev/Harden could be looking at nearly 40 minutes a night. Ugly scenario but the depth isn't really there.

    he started off 0-5 from 3. but kept shooting and at one point hit a couple in a row. he played well from ending the 3rd to closing it out. I didn't see any huge defensive atrocities from him. He had a couple nice one on one moves. He just needs to get familiar with his teammates and their strengths so he can get the right person the ball in the right situation.

    From today's preseason game here is what i figure will be the rotation.

    Bev/Ish
    Harden/Nick J
    Ariza/Papa
    Jones or Dmo
    Howard/Adrian

    Did you see Nick Johnson play? And Troy Daniels will play this year when it counts. I think the rotations were off tonight so they could showcase players on the cusp.

    Johnson played well in the 2nd Q. I thought he was quite active and athletic.Wasn't afraid to make a play.

    Trevor Ariza looks like he is in shape. I wasn't worried when cyberx said that stuff about him not being in shape. He does have a Lakers bias, but I appreciate what be brings here.

    I believe I said it before: it wouldn't surprise one bit if Adrien ends being our starting PF sometime during the season. He may be short, but he has the toughness to play the position, something lacking in Jones and D-MO.

    I was half paying attention when Mekel made that three and I admit, I was worried it was Parsons for a second. That would have stung.
