    I don't think that's a great idea against OKC or Memphis (or the Clippers). Just too much size up front for Ariza to be getting all of the backup 4 minutes.

    Dekker is fine. This is essentially his rookie season. He did a lot of good things this year and showed a ton of energy.

    His rebounding and hustle is very good. As is his slashing ability.

    He's gotta work on his shooting stroke and become a more consistent defender. But I see him contributing a lot again next year.

    I think we are better with Dekker playing over Lou - we are too short with Lou - ...we need Dekker's energy and rebounding.

    Hah, nah, the guy is not shooting that great, under 40% overall - I thought we got him for like insurance.......not to play over an already balanced roster.

    I don't think Dekker is that great but at 6'9" we are more versatile with him.

    He's a combo guard who can run on offense on most of the other teams he's been on. He's a playmaker that we aren't allowing to be the primary playmaker when Harden isn't on the court.

    Did Dekker just hit the rookie wall?
    He still good but he seems to have stepped back recently

    *crickets* again

    20 minutes for 2 damn points and nothing else. Some premature ejac...... in this thread.

    Sam Dekker should NOT be playing in the playoffs. He is not ready.

    He sucks. I'd rather have Troy Williams. Right now Dekker needs to be shut down and get ready for next season

    Too bad the Rockets didn't sign Casspi and utilize his 3pt shooting to mitigate Dekker's current scoring slump.
