Since I think that most of us question the rotation of the Rockets, what would your rotation be? Mine (minutes): Center - Yao (35), Mutumbo (13) Power Forward - Howard (33), Padgett (10), Spoon (5) Small Forward - JJ (33), Nachbar (13), TMac (2) Shooting Guard - TMac (36), Sura (12) Point Guard - Barrett (25), Sura (23) At no time would I want both TMac and Yao resting at the same time. Edited due to bad math...
keep your rotation but start Sura and platoon Spoon and Padge 15 mins each (i.e Spoon when we need rebounds Padge when we need shoots)
So for 2 minutes you'd run with only 4 players? I'm not sure if the refs would allow it, but it can't possibly be worse than whatever we're doing now.
IMO: yao (30) - deke (18) JH (24) - mo (24) jj (30) - boki (12) - tmac (6) tmac (36) - jj (6) - sura (6) sura (24) - barrett (24)
Yao (33)/Deke (15) JHo (28)/Spoon (12)/Padgett (8) Boki (29)/JJ (19) TMac (37)/JJ (11) Sura (30)/AB (18) All-Toiletbowl Team: MoT ("C"), Bowen ("PF"), Gaines ("SF"), Ward ("SG"), Lue ("PG")
You guys might think i am crazy but i would definently start Spoon and mix his minutes up with padgett and put mo and Howard on the bench because they don't produce jack crap.
I think Boki should be playing a little more too, but there is no way he is a better rebounder than JJ.
