    I believe he meant "...76ers and Knicks, ending Howard_Asik experiment"
    and I welcome the change. If the starting line-up is Lin, Bev, Casspi, Jones and Howard, I'll be very excited.

    TT will not be a good idea in this game,Sixers is a run and gun team,we need to put either Casspi or Tjones in the starting line up!

    it's just poor punctuation, rockets will start smaller lineup vs 76ers and vs knicks in the following game, thus ending experiment

    The last time Lin went up against a tall PG (our old friend, Shaun Livingston) he didn't do so well. MCW is way better than SL. I'd like to see how Pat Bev takes on MCW, he should be quicker than the opp PG. I watched the Spurs blow them out by exploiting and attacking their defense. We need our guards to do the same. I'm a little nervous because our transitional D suck so bad & Sixers are a running team. Don't take this game lightly.

    I think it would be really funny if we rolled out a Bev/Lin/Harden/Parsons/Howard starting lineup.

    McHales "we have two starting point guards" comment would come to fruition.

    Actually we're 8th in opposition transition points allowed, and 4th in opposition transition point scoring efficiency.

    http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/opponent-fastbreak-points-per-game
    http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/opponent-fastbreak-efficiency

    So our transition defense is pretty solid.

    As for guarding Shaun Livingston, Lin didn't guard him for most of the game. In fact, Lin wasn't even ON THE FLOOR for most of when Livingston scored. Livingston scored 7 points while Lin was on the floor, 4 of that was due to Free Throws while Livingston shot 1/3. Half of Livingston's 14 points were scored while Beverley was covering him.

    http://popcornmachine.net/cgi-bin/gameflow.cgi?date=20130322&game=CLEHOU

    All folks remember is that Livingston scored 14 and shot 50%.

    Granted, it wasn't a shining moment for Lin (Lin struggled scoring that entire game), but it wasn't due to his defensive "struggles".

    The image comes from the Rockets. Why would Philly tell its fans that the game is at 6 p.m. CENTRAL TIME?
