Do we have the 4 worst defenders at their rotation spots in the league?

    Chase Budinger - backup SF
    AB - starting or backup PG
    Luis Scola - starting PF
    Kevin Martin - starting SG

    This is a serious question, can anyone think of worse defenders at their respective rotation spots in the league?

    Consequently, does it not make sense that at least 2 out of the 4 have to out of the rotation through trade for us to get back to being respectable on Defense?

    We have the worst PF and Center defense in the league with Scola, Miller, Ppat, and Hill. This is horrible and we give them no help.

    Martin isn't that bad......he only has trouble really when SGs post him up....which doesn't actually happen all that often. He doesn't get beat anywhere near as much as some other SGs.
    Now our center position is another story....

    Thats why I said we need to get rid of Adelman, even if we rebuild he will continue to bring in finesse players just like in sacremento with peja, divac, bibby, and webber.

    Lol, Trugoy is like the secretary of congress, he tries to keep us all busy. At least his threads don't suck, at least from the 7 I've seen today.

    The only consistent defender on the Rockets is Battier...that is it.

    Hey you guys wanted to Score more points right? Tired of the 69-75 win games?

    If anything the rockets should just start playing 7 seconds or less offense. Just chuck it and simply try to outscore the team, screw defense. Its not like we play defense anyway.

    Did you just figure out that you can start threads or have you been out of town for a while. You are blowing up the GARM with threads that could really be condensed into one post.

    Dont forget Miller backing up C as well. I cant think of any other teams that rely on 5 defense less players in thir every day rotation. Other teams dont give players time if they cant play good d.

    Just imagine this team starting. Brooks, Martin, Bud, Scola, Miller. The funny thing is 3 of them are indeed starters and the other two are relied on heavily as well to back up. No wonder we cant contain other teams.

    It is absolutely useless to be able to score 100 points per game if you give up 110 in return each time. I would rather have the team score 80 and win with Good D. The good old JVG days. Bring back JVG. Morey admit you were wrong!!!
