    If the ROCKETS want to WIN against the better TEAMS:

    1. Thorton as - Point Guard - The Profession Scorer
    More points, more rebounds, more assists, less fouls
    Thorton can run the TEAM - and free up Harden
    2. Harden as - the two-Guard
    3. Ariza - as the Forward
    4. Cappella - as the Power Forward
    5. Howard - as the Center

    So.....just start Thornton instead..

    If Lawson doesn't even get to handle the ball, what makes you think Thornton will? Let alone he rarely sees time..

    The problem is with Hardens game not being able to play off the ball.

    Disagree about Thornton. But I do think he needs to come in more often than he has as late. Lat night against the Pel's, he was left in for too long and he went cold/we went ISO with Harden.
    Capella is the one I think needs to come out of the starting line up. Bring in DMO instead.

    Actually he got shut out by his own team... Make no freaking sense, that these guys can't play team ball.

    Call me crazy

    James Harden - PG
    Ty Lawson - SG
    Ariza SF
    Capela pf
    Howard c

    Let james be 2013 olympic guy again, and get everyone INVOLVED, if he needs to isolate again to bust things up, then let him do it. Lawson has showed he can hit some midrange shots, let him feed off harden assists. Throw the ball down there , if howard not open, then clint is. This is best possible lineup.
