    Did anyone notice that Langhi didn't play at all tonight? Not one single minute. I figured he would get more PT than Collier, but even he got into the game. Does anyone know something that the rest of us don't?

    I am beginning to wonder too ! U know one thing I noticed on an interview that Langhi had is that he came across as rather arrogant and too full of himself , I wonder if this has gotten into Rudy's nerves.?

    Dan Langhi DNP-Coach's Decision. Langhi's minutes at SF were given to Carlos Rogers, Shandon Anderson and Matt Bullard.

    I couldn't figure that one out because during warm-ups, he was shooting lights out.

    Rudy said at some point (can't remember when) that he expected Langhi and Collier to contribute this year, but that it would be later in the season. Maybe he doesn't need to see them in game action right now because they don't know the system well enough to make a difference?

    That is total speculation.

    I was waiting for Langhi to play. I yelled out "Dan!" after the game but he did not look over.

    Jason Collier looks worse in person than on TV. He is slower than Olajuwon. Is that possible? Robinson schooled him a couple of times with the same move.

    TPL, I understand why Rudy might want to play Los', but the only problem I have with him playing Bullard right now is we know what Bullard can do. Langhi needs game minutes to get used to playing in an actual NBA environment. Basically I just don't understand why he put "Lurch II"(Collier) out there, but not Langhi.

    Not Rudy "The Player's Coach" Tomjanovich?

    I'd like to believe that Houston wants to give Langhi an opportunity to observe the game from the sideline before giving him court time. Didn't they do this with Cassell, too?

    Or maybe, they're planning another trade and want to showcase one player, but not raise interest in another.

    Rudy is just rotating guys in. Bullard and Los didnt get alot of minutes in the past 2 games and langhi did so they got the minutes last night.
