    Now that the Rockets are out of the playoffs, can we play Langhi some significant minutes with the starters to see if he is the real deal?

    It is time to see what we have with this guy.

    Come on Rudy, put in LANKY !!!

    I hope that Rudy at least gives Langford SOME minutes. Putting Langhi in the game and giving him starter minutes is essentially saying to your team and Hakeem that this season is over... we got nothin left.

    I think it'd be better for him to get like around 15 to 20 minutes a game.

    GO LANGHI

    He definitely isn't "too skinny to play" anymore. He's been hitting the weights pretty well and now has an NBA caliber body. Besides, I saw KG playing yesterday and if he isn't SKINNY I don't know what is.

    Why play Langhi? I'm glad the Houston Rocket players aren't quitting yet. Anything can happen, why give up on the season now? Does it help the young players if you basically say, "Well I quit, lets just give up on the season now." Great learning experience that would be huh? You're faced with adversity, how about we just quit!

    The team has wilted under the crucible of the playoff race. Lost 5 of 7. Our young stars have looked tired, while the role players have failed to contribute much. Why not play Langhi at least a few minutes?

    Langhi is the only player on the roster since the beginning of the season who has not been given the opportunity to play. Even his garbage time has been minimal and sporadic.

    I think if he had been given the kind of minutes Walt has received, he would be contributing at least as much by now.

    The Rockets certainly don't look like a play-off team, by their play lately. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. I just don't think they are ready this year. Even the mighty Jordan didn't win anything in his second season.

    So... give Langhi a chance.

    I think Langhi's new nickname should be:

    My best memory of Langhi is him going up for a dunk in warmups and bricking it bad. The rest of the players started cracking up and imitated him.

    Might want to give him more of a look and bench Bull. You can tell he's been well coaches defensively,and plays better D than Walt or Matt.

    All Langhi needs is some minutes to get comfortable, I hope he gets them, now that the playoffs are out of reach.

    Langhi couldn't do a worse job then our rotation guys have done the past 7 games. I bet he'll at least try hard which is more than I can say for quite a few others. Playing him starter's minutes would be just unethical, but this is a good time to give him some significant minutes on the court.

    Langhi sucks. I don't think he can hit an open shot, dribble, or pass yet. I don't care if he was player of the year for the SEC or the entire NCAA last year we still have a shot to make the playoffs this year. And I don't want to see garbage ball.

    What do you mean, yet? Do you mean he is still a "boy", Woodlands"boy"?

    Langhi is a very good player whose time will come. I would like to see a lot of him as well, but after we are mathematically eliminated.
