An option to Rockets "small ball"......

Frequently, the Rockets have an end game lineup which features Moochie, Steve, Cat or Shandon, KT & either Mo, 'Los, Dream or Collier at the 5. There are some variations, but this is close.

When the game situation arises, here's an alternative lineup I would like to see on occassion:

1) Moochie - he passes
2) Walt - has range and can drive
3) 'Los - mobile, tough matchup for most SF's
4) Collier - range, decent rebounder
5) Dream - is Dream

I am aware that this lineup has some shortcomings, but it is also capable of very good team defense AND it can rebound. Both seem to be missing in Rockets "small ball".

Cat and Steve are superb, but EVERY player has bad stretches during the season.
