    Really eager the see how a healthy and fresh EG fits into the team. Probably going to be siphoning minutes from McLemore and Rivers which really sucks for them two because they are playing well.

    The Rockets have a abundance of guards and small forwards. I wonder if one or two of them can be packaged for a stretch 4 or 5.

    The game I was watching had our starters in and we were fighting for our lives.
    YOU are saying that we would have cruised to victory by pulling players like PJ?
    The guy who was diving for loose balls and playing like a man possessed?
    Okay coach. . .

    The rockets need to increase ball movement in the 4th to counter runs. Not sure why Buddy didn’t play in the 4th and they were missing Bogdanovic. Rockets caught a break.

    We whiffed on like 12 possessions in a row, and Fox went off on us

    No we just needed to make our layups. If Clint wasn’t hurting we win by 20+.

    But I thought Harden just chucks up shots and isn't efficient?

    if he has any semblance of efficiency it's only because of d'antoni's system

    No . What I’m saying is that when we were up 15-20 with 10 minutes left in the 4th I wouldn’t have put PJ back in to try and build the lead to 30 with 8 min left
    Or 40 with 6 min or whatever MDA’s cutoff for garbage time is

    I would have trusted Clark or whoever was in at the time to try and hold the lead / continue playing well . That way if something normal happens like the other team going on a run ... then you aren’t in s position where PJ is playing 40 minutes .. AND he’s fresher down the stretch if you decide you needed to put him in

    Are you really saying Harden is inefficient?

    So many teams are coughing up huge leads. No lead is safe - even 30 point leads like the one Dallas blew to the Raptors the other night.

    Abundance of guards. House is the SF. Ben is only 6'4''.

    lol. Is that Jeremy Lin’s tryout for the Raptors?

    (sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I actually liked Lin, other than his playoff miscues and some of his crazy fans.)
