Steve Francis Cuttino Mobley Glen Rice Eddie or Mo? Yao Ming That should be the starting lineup. As long as the lineup doesn't include Griffin and Taylor. There isn't a single starting power forward in the NBA I wouldn't trade either of these guys for... Uhh yeah.....how about Othella Harrington? MAN.....we should have got Shareef Abdur Rahim.
It's very true no matter who we have in the line up, if we just stand still, not screen, cut, move, nothing good will happen. But we can't not expect the players to make cuts on their own or move about without purpose either. They can do that all day long and will never get the ball if the ball handler is not looking for them.
That's why I said EITHER of them! Othella averages about the same number of point, almost twice as many rebounds, and also shoots over 50% from the field. He's also twice as tough as Taylor will EVER be and isn't afraid to take it inside...all at 1/3 the cost... Any Rockets fan would take Othella over Taylor...
I'm a Rockets fan, and although I like Othella and appreciate what he did in a Rockets uniform, I'd take MoT over Othella in less than a heartbeat.
I dunno... I liked Othella quite a bit, and I'm starting to like MoT more and more, but Othella shoots pretty well, has started to rebound like a freak, and of course is cheaper (and without that injury). A-Train has this one, I'd probly choose Othella over MoT right now.. but it's by the narrowest margin margin compared to taking other starting pfs over MoT.
Generally,no matter who are in start lineups,we should focus on who is not involved in the game,then we replac him and try the one who is in better condition.
Like giving BOKI some playing time. stick lets say...rice or hawk on the bench. and BOKI in, and do the same with a pg for TITo. give the younger guys a chance to prove themselves and lead the team. I mean, for gods sake. WE are 30-29.......and the Warriors are 29-30. I will not be surprised if they pass us in the standings. the rocks are playing terrible. I thought this was going to be a good season. with all the hype. We have SF back...healthy MOT....and YAO MING!!!..... what happened? Well. Rockets will hit an alltime low if they allow the Warriors to pass them in the standings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well.....the Warriors have a good coach that somehow got into their heads and made them start winning............ they have done a good job. If they had Yao Ming....... Well we should let Bostjan play more than 3 minutes a game.... And Tito should start playing too. If we lose tomorrow.........and then TO CHICAGO AGAIN.....then we shall start experimenting. Then we'll be doomed eh.
Hmmm... What about.... Francis Mobley Hawkins MoT Yao Another scoring threat in MoT and hustler and defender in Hawkins. or Francis Mobley Hawkins TMo Yao Spot up shooter in TMo who's a decent defender, and again Hawkins, who might be able to hit the three pretty consistently. or Francis Mobley TMo MoT Yao Even more offensive punch with MoT and TMo, decent D and rebounding in TMo as well. Could work..
Nova I like that lineup of Dumb & Dumber MoT T-Mo Ming Ming and Morris can sandwich Taylor on the defensive end with their shotblocking and its easier for Morris to feed the post at 6'9 ala Robert Horry against other small forwards.
