    No Pat Beverley!!!! Awesome :) Start Terry and have that old fart come off the bench, let's see what he can do.

    McHale will rather prefer to call up Nick Johnson.

    That doesn't count, the same applies to Harden.

    Defense doesn't count.

    The T-wolves were playing at a playoff team level as of late since Lavine went to the bench.

    He is not the only reason why they sucked so bad in the early season but he is definitely the major part of it.

    Dmo is struggling of late, while the numbers did not tell the whole story.

    His defensive contribution is getting worse, kind of like Harden, when his offensive game is not flowing well, his defense sucks and much easier to get into foul troubles.

    Also the more I watch this team, it give me the feeling like I am watching the old Raiders played in the NFL.

    This team has not discipline and often will commit the dumbest TOV you have ever seen.

    I never strongly considered McHale is a bad coach, but I am starting to think that this type of "team management" is not going to work.

    You can not just blame the pace and style you are playing for the TOV, the fact remains, lots of them are related to very poor decision and no discipline.

    Win or loser, this team looks like a joke in lots of the games and its a sad one.

    I think changes in the coaching is something we needed.

    most likely terry will start and prigs comes off the bench if Bev is out. Hopefully Prigs will get some time. Not sure about KJ he will some more time getting adjusted to a team that may only play him now and then.

    Bev's defense on Lowry I thought was superb last game - the other end of the court though was downright abysmal

    Honestly, I can see Prigs getting the start.

    McHale is one of those guys that likes to keep his rotations as close as possible. I mean, Canaan went from total bench warmer to a starter the first time Bev was out with Terry playing back-up. I think this is also a big reason Jones hasn't been in the starting line-up with Howard out; McHale wants to keep his 2nd unit intact.

    Nick Johnson recalled from RGV for tonight's game. Makes me think Bev is out for sure.

    If Terry starts, it would be good if he copied his 4 starts earlier this season where he averaged 16.5ppg 3.8rpg 4.5apg 1.8spg 48 percent from the field and 50 percent from three

    Going to see some good minutes tonight for Prigioni.
    Prediction: Smith is going to play awesome like usual and Ariza will be at 40%~ shooting

    The Rockets better not take this lightly. Anything is possible.
