Achebe: cool . 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? ------------------ Shandon Anderson rocks. The lottery sucks. Playoffs 2001.
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. ------------------ --TEX
