Should we implement more small ball for teams like OKC and Clippers?

    What do y'all think? I feel it causes more matchup problems, and will be better against those teams.

    I feel like our best lineups at this point include Jones & Dwight or Asik. Going small doesn't appeal to me with the way our backup wings are playing right now. It doesn't seem to add much floor spacing.

    We don't have the wing players or the health to do that right now. If we had a Delfino, we'd be doing it for sure.

    No, we should go big and force them to adjust.

    Not playing DMO is just stupid....

    We lose to them because they have better smalls than us...why are we playing into other team's strenghts?

    At this point, I would keep the bigs in, but if it doesn't work, go to the small lineup quicker!

    Against the Thunder it can work, but the Clippers with Griffin and Jordan will destroy us in the paint

    We tried going small on clippers. They are to athletic. We got caught bad. Griffin who now drives
    Coast to coast at times kills us with that small ball line up

    I expect to see our TT attack at some point in the playoffs.

    The coaching staff and Morey are highly knowledgeable and skilled. I expect to see small ball against certain match ups. TT perhaps also. Against Portland I do not expect to see much of either.

    If the Rockets ever face Memphis, I expect to see TT a lot.

    It's a blessing in disguise that Dwight is injured, because Asik is getting more opportunities to adjust to heavier minutes.

    I'd rather have asik on griffin. I think he defends him well plus the clips go to griffin more resulting in more fouls for his defender. I'd rather asik in possible foul trouble than Howard.

    Asik on griffin, howard on jordan, Beverly on paul, parsons on crawford and harden on dudley or reddick.
