    Yeah, I dunno why Adelman hasn't switched his rotation around a bit.

    I mean, I know that we are jockeying for playoff positioning, but come on!

    I think we need to see a lineup of:

    Lowry
    Wafer
    Artest
    Landry
    Yao

    Adelman needs to switch it up.

    I'm not watching the game tonight but the happiest thing to come out today for me is the return of Landry.

    Agree, Yao is the best center when one on one.

    LOL at the Magic fans in their realgm board. I like roaming around and seeing how other fans are interpreting the games.

    One guy goes (I'm paraphrasing): "These are NOT the Houston Rockets I've watched all year. Just like the Bulls were not who I have watched all year earlier in the season (referring to their loss to the Bulls)"

    Yeah, right. He's probably seen some highlights on NBA.com or something. He/she is probably in denial about the fact that Houston absolutely own the Orlando Howards.

    it's about matchup.. and the magic is 60% howard. take him out and they are just a .500 team.

    For ron, we only need his toughness, not his iq.

    scoreboard scoreboad :rolleyes:

    if ron still play like that, dribble dribble shoot miss, dribble dribble turnover, dribble dribble nothing...than he'd be playing for the LOSING team, because we'd lose due to his lack of passing and bad shot selection

    Hell, at first, he might even give Hakeen some fits. That is, until Hakeem figures out how to neutralize him.

    Yeah, we are winning despite his obvious ineptitude in these positions, so? Shut the game thread down?

    Prime Yao vs Prime Hakeem = Yao getting that ball stamped on his face on every shot attempt.

    well i dont see it (on the offensive end). chucking shots left and right is not what i call tough. i rarely see him penetrate, or post up for that matter.

    btw, is it my pc, or the forum is a bit screwed up?

    Can Dream stand Yao's full strength without flopping?

    Hey, are you saying Yao can't even score once on Hakeem?

    :(

    Come on, give him SOME credit, haha.

    i guess that ineptitude takes two halves to kick in?

    there's is more to the game than just shot selection, and artest is the high assist man in the half. i imagine he's playing defense on a trip or two down the court. he's got more rebounds that howard.

    i don't know. bench him, i guess.

    Prime Hakeem won't block Yao much either. But He can front Yao, that's abou it.

    On the other hand, Yao doesn' have a way to stop Hakeem.

    Brooks is making bonehead plays out there! He almost never waits for Yao to re-position himself.

    Lowry, on the other hand, is more patient.

    I take back my statement. It's too late to experiment. Adelman should have switched it up when Lowry came over here.
