Always felt worrying about tougher or easier opponents to be pointless in the NBA. After all, the schedule for each team is the same for the same conference. This isn't the NFL or the MLB. The only difference really is how many back-to-backs, 4-in-5 situations you get.\

If we get clobbered we get clobbered. Could not care less unless our player don't even try to compete.

HAHA.... so 2 players are getting bumped out of the rotation to develop guys who are already getting plenty of minutes other than Machado??

The whole "Machado can learn defense" argument.... um.. maybe that's true, but is Douglas really holding back the future franchise player in Machado???.... Is the franchise doomed because SCOTT UNDRAFTED MACHADO isn't getting the minutes you would like? Should Morey, McHale, and Sampson all be fired because SCOTT MACHADO isnt playing????

The delusion on this board is out of this world. Look, Scott Machado, if he's good enough, will make the decision an easy one for the coaches eventually. He hasn't so far... you know why???... Did you watch the Summer league and Preseason??... He's a rookie, and he makes rookie mistakes consistently. That's ok for an undrafted rookie, but right now, he needs to take this time to fine tune his skills to be able to run an NBA team.

The PG position is the most important position on on this team, and when the PG makes mistakes, it affects THE DEVELOPMENT of every other player around them. The PG needs to be quarterbacking the team to make sure everyone is where they need to be, and the offense runs efficiently.

I like Machado, but you aren't hurting him and the team by developing him for half of his rookie season. You might actually hurt his long term development, by reinforcing his bad habits with unearned extended playing time.

As for the GRIZZLED VETERAN Patrick Patterson... look up his minutes played.... He's still a very young player who is coming into his own. What kind of precident would this team be setting by benching their lottery pick just 2 years ago to play another later 1st round pick 40 minutes instead of 30??

-I like Patterson, but my guess is that he probably gets moved at some point this season or in the Summer, but if you bench him now, you will see his value drop dramatically, and that could cost the Rockets big time in February.

The whole, "play the young guys" argument is getting more and more ridiculous in the GARM. The Rockets are the youngest team in the NBA... what is it going to take for you to realize that and just shup up and enjoy the season??? If in February Pat is stinking it up, and Douglas can't walk and chew on the court at the same time, then come back. But for now, just stop it. This argument just makes Rockets fans look incompetent.
