    The only thing that matters is that the 6th man of the year will be playing for your Houston Rockets, as will the runner up.

    Exactly. I like the idea of starting him/ letting him set a defensive tone but quickly subbing him out if the offense struggles and we need a punch.

    Williams and Gordon will both probably play more minutes than Bev

    The 2nd quarter will be insane with lou gordon lighting up scrubs.

    By the time the 4th quarter comes around dantoni will have a feel for the rhthym of that specific game and will play whoever he feels fits that flow.

    ^^ I don't think Lou will or should play more than bev unless it's an injury concern. Bev has shown that he can play around 25 min per game with no adverse effects . It's when we start pushing our guys up into the 30's and beyond that we get the wear and tear.

    Regardless , the rotation now and the rotation in the playoffs will likely be different.

    You beat me to it. EXACTLY
    A Houston Rocket will likely win the 6th man.
    Don't care which one. Glad to have Sweet Lou. GO ROCKETS!!!

    Bev is a great compliment to Harden and he shoots a high % of 3s.

    Move Lou to the starting line up... and move bev back to the bench with Gordon.

    That way Gordon can keep doing what he is doing....and can win the 6th man award running away...

    Or you can move Gordon to starting line up and let lou come off the bench....

    I like the first one better... but i also love that we have some viable options!

    If Bev isn't right, Rockets will move EG into the starting lineup. If/when Bev fully recovers, EG & Lou will be the dynamic duo off the bench.

    Hopefully Harden can play fewer minutes down the stretch because the bench is better able to hold (or extend) leads.

    Eric Gordon could start the rest of the games and still be able to win the 6th man of the year award

    Who is still in the race and who are the candidates league wide?

    Would be essential to know.

    So who gonna guard Curry/Klay/KD when we play them during the WCF??

    So who gonna guard Irving/LBJ when we play them during the Finals?

    There's reason why you're a fan and MDA is the head coach.
