    Our starting five has to be the most racially diverse in the league.

    Asian
    African American
    Caucasian
    Hispanic
    Middle eastern

    Just like the city of Houston! A melting pot.

    Robinson! I don't feel comfortable with D-Mo immediately in the starting line-up after only getting 10 minutes here, 5 minutes there.

    I would say TRob, here is someone thinking he would turn into a Faried further down the road. Hopeful thinking i know, but i really don't care.

    TRob thanks, i'm a fan of high motor players, and here i'm hoping he could come close to being in the same mold as Faried.

    Wishful thinking, i know, but obviously i don't care. TRob over D-Mo for now thanks.

    I should have said "for the majority of the next 26 games" or something like that. I imagine delfino will start until coach figures out his roster.

    Gonna miss 2pat though. He won at least two games for us this year late in the game.

    Did anyone else notice that our current starting 5 is all pale with the exception of harden?
    Lin is asian but is as "White" as parsons. I think we have the whitest team in the last decade, more so than even the jazz.

    Hmm, I think Dmo would be a better fit to start with Asik because he can stretch the floor better.

    From newest interview (done right after OKC game), DMo seemed highly upset and doesn't look like he's going to start. Maybe he just hasn't received the news yet or had a chat with McHale, but yeah, he's not happy at all.

    with backups Barea, Budinger, Williams and Roy

    I'd like to see what TRob has got and give him time to gel with the group before answering that.

    Yeah, I want Robinson to start too. His potential is really good.

    Against the grain: Greg Smith.

    I've really liked what I've seen from Smith. I think he could match well playing opposite of Asik, really. I think Montiejunas or Robinson would eventually take over for him, but immediately I'd prefer Smith.

    That said, I want Montiejunas and Robison getting significant minutes.
