    I love the way the Rockets are experimenting with a bunch of guys who barely know the system. Let them experiment all they want and let the guys play hard but always keep on on the trophy. A top ten Lottery pick!!!

    What makes you think that this is worth a thread now, when it's been made after almost half of our losses and locked every time.

    Here here!

    Next game, Hill, Taylor, and Armstrong.

    Next up, Magic and Spurs. I say we experiment one of those game and actually try to win one of those to get a moral boost to set us up for more experiments.

    Before you guys start hanging people, wait till after they all have had a couple of practices together.

    Let's do it, seriously.
    This year we're going nowhere if we enter the post season.
    Why not give time to young players and get them prepared for the coming new year.

    Not really. Our two "stars" are injury prone and washed up. There are TONS of teams around the league with better young players. We're going to be in 45-55 win/1st or 2nd round exit hell for the next five years.

    There was no coaching tonight. It was about throwing bodies in there to see what they can do. Jeffries lookes like he has a role. Where is Hill?? Infact if there was coaching they could have won this game.

    This was a great win for the Rockets. We discovered Jefferies can contribute, Martin gets more comfortable with the offense and we get more experience for Budinger. Plus we move ahead of the Hornets all in one night.

    I know no one likes the thought of tanking straight up. And I agree but We are not doing anything in the playoffs if we make it. So If the Rockets win tonight with these guys I am happy. Let's just start working for next year. Try to win every game but test out Jefferies and Armstrong and Hill to see if they can contribute. Work a team around Martin and Brooks and give Budinger more minutes.
