I saw the Rockets really produce against the Clippers when they put in Hawk, Rice, Franchise, Taylor and Ming. They started to move the ball around more and Rice was getting the open looks. I started to see the old Rice again. But Rudy as usual messes it up and goes SMALL BALL!! That **** doesn't work! He needs to realized that. What do you guys think?
The lineup did do very good, but I still rather see this one when the Cat is Healthy. 1. Franchise 2. Cat 3. Eddie Griffin ( he plays more of a small forward type of game anyway) 4. MO T 5. Cato 2nd String 1. Moochie 2. Hawkins 3. Rice 4. Kenny T. 5. Ming
I think they could try a Franchise, Mobley, Hawk, MoT, and Ming lineup. That would be a defense stopper along w/ an explosive offense. Moochie needs to go. He just doesn't fit w/ this offense anymore. They could have Hawkins at the point with Franchise at the 2 also.
There is no question in my mind that Yao Ming not only deserves to start but needs to start in order to truely advance his game. I like the the idea of moving MoT into the starting line up for now. I guess I would like to see the following line-up until Cat is healthy: Steve Francis Juaquin Hawkins Glen Rice Mo Taylor Yao Ming Kenny Thomas and Eddie Griffin as the primary subs in the front court. I would also like to give Tito Maddox some minutes in the playing behind Steve to see how he responds. Moochie's act is starting to get real old now. We also need to continue to find minutes for Cato and start finding some minutes for Terence Morris.
