    Per Craig Ackerman

    Tjones will start alongside Dmo tonight.

    Knew it had to happen eventually. Dorsey is not a starter even with Dwight out

    Would like to see Prigs get a bit of time with the starting unit too just to see how he'd be

    Really want to see Prigs play 20 minutes tonight minimum to see how he'd go with the starters.

    With his steady hands... I can honestly see him getting a lot of minutes in the Playoffs. Bev can't be trusted.

    I'm from NY, I watch way too many Knicks games because my friends are all fans.

    Prigioni is definitely more of a natural PG than Bev. He sees the floor better and just knows how to operate an offense. But he has ZERO penetration skills and sometimes he looks like he's scared to shoot.

    His career 3P% in the NBA is .416 which is elite. But he only shoots great looks. He passes up shots even when it's the right shot to take.

    I really hope McHale and crew tell him to be more aggressive with his shot here. Because Harden is going to get him looks, and he'll need to be more trigger happy in Houston.

    His shot release is so slow; maybe that's why he's hesitant to shoot..

    Glad to see TJones is starting. Its been a long road back for him.

    Also, looking forward to seeing Prig in for some real minutes. Should be a very interesting game to watch.

    Look at the names on that list. Just a bunch of "dirty work" Bigs outside of Prigs. He's the only guard on that list.

    His shot release is slow. That definitely plays a role. But I've seen him with wide open looks pass the ball. It was something Knicks fans became annoyed at. He NEEDS to shoot the ball more here. Not even that much more because we still have the NBA leading scorer on the team, but definitely more than he did in NY. There's no reason he should be taking shots as often as Perk, Reggie Evans, Chuck Hayes, and other Goon Squad bigs.

    He'll fit in well. That Corner 3 is gonna be so open for him, He won't have a choice but to shoot or get benched. If Ariza and Bev can jack 15 threes a game between the two of them, I think Pablo can get a few up here.

    Wow, Rockets are 25-0 this season when they hold opponents under 97. Better than the Warriors (24-0). Most of those had to come when we had the #2 defense.

    So let me see if I have this right. We're missing Bev, Dorsey, Papa, and Dwight tonight? We should still be able to win(we played with even less in Minnesota earlier this season and won), but it might not be the layup it would've otherwise been.
