    Dekker or Wiltjer should start Sunday, I agree.. Leave Gordon on the bench.

    I think Kyle W should get the start. Imagine him with Harden and Anderson type spacing.... he is lights out, maybe even better than Anderson at the 3 ball.

    I hope they give him a chance.... virtually the same player... both can't create. But both can shoot, and I think Kyle is better at the 3.

    Anderson has at least 40lbs on Wiltjer if not more and can at least provide some sort of defensive resistance and grab a couple boards in traffic. I would experiment with a Wiljter on a run and gun line up with Nene/Capela or Dekker/Harrell on the floor at all times.

    The weird thing is if you look up their height/weight Wiltjer, Anderson, and Capella are all listed as 6'10" / 240 lbs. You and I both know they aren't all the same size. Regardless, I'd love to see Wiltjer unleashed in Anderson's role with Harden as the point guard. Unfortunately, after reading the Rockets Report in the Chronicle this morning I don't see D'Antoni giving Wiltjer that chance. He seems to be firm with sticking what has worked when it comes to matchups and starting lineups. If that is the case, don't be surprised to see someone 6'4'' or 6'1" replacing Anderson in that lineup. He will probably put in Gordon or Williams.

    I agree. Anderson, Ariza and Harden needs to sit the last 3 games of the season at least.

    Ryno isn't a good defender but he provides resistance. Kyle is basically a traffic cone. You have to give him a chance sometime, maybe he'll surprise us.

    He looks nervous. He looks like the kinda dude to mimic Novak or Kyle Korver if given the green light...

    Lets completely clear the lane for Harden. Ryno and Wiltjer back up 4/5. No Dekker.

    I like what they're already doing, which is switch Anderson to back up 5, and slide Dekker into Anderson's vacated minutes. And throw some Montrezl in there when we need a little more muscle at the 4.

    Every time I see Wiltjer on the court for more than 30 seconds, I come away convinced that he should be subbed in only during offensive possessions in the final minute, and otherwise should be confined to towel-waving duty.
