Defensively can we switch Parsons for J Terry?

    Next Tuesday when we play Dallas, can we try both Camby and Dalembert on court, and play Parsons at 2 to take care of J Terry? C-Lee got a little bit trouble in defensing J Terry.

    What do you think?

    Honestly, I thought Courtney played good defense on JET. Terry just made tough shot late in the game.

    It's a tough matchup, especially when they run that little PnR with Dirk and JET. If you leave any one of them for a split second, it's automatic points.

    I don't think parsons is quick enough, he is 6'10 230. If keeping up with a normal 2G isn't to hard for him surely keeping up with a 6'2 guard called "Jet" should be. I love him and his defense but i just don't think he physically capable.

    can we just steal Jason Terry's socks...and replace them with Khloe's.

    nice idea, but not sure if he would even notice.

    We just need for Terry to go away.

    Parson's is a true find. This guy is impressive. He could develop into an allstar.

    And the name Jet is Kenny Smith.

    anyone who says the "Jet" again on this board not referring to Kenny Smith and I swear I will....

    ...get some marshmallows and fire or

    ...something.

    y'all don't want to know.


    I swear.

    He was never a Jet when he played in Houston.

    Agreed. How old is he? He should be hanging up his sneakers soon.

    I swear Terry was made specifically to be make Rockets fans miserable. Dude disappears all the time but suddenly puts up 30+ pts and makes tough shots all over the place when he's playing us.

    Sign Renaldo Balkman for a few assignments on Terry or any other SG who start hitting those 'bows. Defensive stopper stopper taller than CLee and makes hard fouls. The Rockets need one.

    As well as Camby played on Dirk, Parsons also matched up very well with Dirk. With Lee guarding Terry, Parsons on Dirk, and Camby/Dalembert protecting the paint, this would be the best way to stop them. But they are two good players and they will still score.

    Parsons is big enough to cause some problems for Terry as far as shooting over him goes, but I'm not sure he has enough quickness to stay in front of him. If he plays off of him a bit and closes out on his shot he might be a good option. He's certainly a clever enough defender to make it worth a try.

    Dragic is more physical than Lee, but if he plays too closely and physically then Terry will just draw fouls, blow by him, or both. He has the toughness and quickness to play him, but he has to be smart about it.

    I think either would be worth a shot over Lee, who struggled a bit with him.

    Was it Clyde the other night who was talking about how no one on the Rockets called him "the Jet" and that is just a TNT name?

    I know it doesn't seem logical because of the way he looks and style of play, but Terry can't be shut down. He's either on or off. This is the dude that lit up LeBron and Wade in route to winning a ring and makes a living hitting ridiculous jumpers. Gotta admit, the little b*stard isn't exactly "stoppable."
