    McHale has to find a way keep Parsons mins up with Lee back. If Hill isn't going to step up. I wouldn't mind seeing Pat at 5, and Parsons at 4 when the bench is in.

    Yeah, the team is playing significantly better at all either. As a matter of fact there is no way there could be several factors at play with why we have won seven in a row....that would just be nonsense, logically............................................................................................................

    :rolleyes:

    I asked much the same question on page one of this thread.

    I dont think being 23 will really reduce his upside tho , its all about how much and how hard players work on their games. Do they have the "Want to" to be and natural ability to dominate. Lots of guy's have the natural ability .... very few have that killer insticnt.


    Players add things to their games in the offseason all the time. Just take a look at Lebron working on his post game during this past offseason and Lowry working on his jumper over the course of four years. Even Kobe worked on his post footwork a couple years back with Hakeem.

    Those arent the only examples but the few that come to mind right off the bat.

    Because of his size and quickness .... he's got the relative size of Durant .... although maybe not quite as long in the arms (thats NOT comparing him in any way to Durant other than in size) ,he's got the ability to create mismatches at both the PF and SF spots.
    If he can improve his jumpshot and find a post game (which Im not sure he doesnt already have , we jsut havent seen him in the post) he could be a special player.

    Why not make other teams match up with the Rockets instead of allowing them to dictate the matchups ....
    The lineup last night with Patterson at the C and Parsons at the PF with Lowry Lee and Dragic being a prime example.
    The T-Wolves had really extended their defense in the 3rd quarter prior to that lineup coming in and the Rockets couldnt penetrate and were getting poor shots. Once that lineup came in the Wolves couldnt stay in front of the much quicker small lineup and the Rockets ran away with it late.

    I just want him being more aggressive demanding the ball instead of passing it off to Scola or Dragic so much. People forget when he played in Florida he would actually run the ball like a point sometimes. For a 6'10 he has dribble.
