    Achebe: cool [​IMG]. Nowitski plays a few minutes at the 4, doesn't he? I was hoping that since Langhi is compared to N so much, he could as well.

    I was thinking this might work best against defensive 4's like Dale Davis, who aren't much of a threat offensively. I've been very impressed with Langhi's ability to take someone off the dribble... and I think he could make 4's look positively silly.

    Do you know how well he rebounds?

    I think Rudy will start with a 10 player rotation during the preseason and the first quarter of the regular season:
    Starting
    HO, MT, WW, SA, SF
    &
    CM, KC, DL, KT, MN
    If Rogers works himself in for KT, he will get extra minutes; otherwise, garbage time with bullard.

    Then, Rudy will work himself to 9 players rotation eliminating either DL or KT. At playoff, he will go to a 8 player rotation eliminating MN.
    I think the rockets should keep KT & CR until MT gets a contract after this year, and then trade either one (KT or CR). Bryce Drew is definately gone, he does not fit this style of playing (but I really like the guy).

    Mostly i agree w/ HPs lineup

    but no way would i start dream.

    cato is so much more effective when he gets touches early on. he becomes intrested in the game and his intensity picks up. rudy T should show some confidence in him for him to do a good job.

    dream would be better anyways coming in when the game gets going. and i would want him somewhat fresh for the end of the game, because i would take dream over cato anyday at the end of games. why? because he is a clutch player who u can usually count on.

    rogers doesnt need to play unless its a blow out. he gets pushed around for boards, has no offense except a dunk, and is injury prone.

    unless D.langhi can play some pt. forward moochie still needs to play a little bit. francis needs to play alot but not the whole game.

    Haven,
    You forgot to include Cuttino Mobley in your rotation.
