    I saw a comment on a line spread of today's game that says the Rockets are going with a small lineup today. Does anyone have any ideas to a possible starting lineup change? I don't think there have been any new injuries, have there?

    Rudy is starting Moochie instead of Eddie.

    He thinks moving Cat over to the three will tire out Jordan or something. Sounds like a good idea to me, but I still hate this three guard crap.

    JJ,

    Saw the same thing mentioned in Chronicle article this morning. Sounds like RT thinking matchups and moving Mobley to SF to guard MJ.

    Hope it ain't so. Moochie is awful; defensively and what kind of message does it send to Cato/Griffin or whoever "sits?" Rudy is somehow enamored by Moochie, but the team pays a terrible price when the Little Dribbler dominates the ball. :confused:

    Cato and EG are slowly coming around...PLEASE DON'T DISRUPT THEIR PROGRESS. This team can only advance if the interior game is developed. We'll go absolutely nowhere jacking up perimeter shots as our base offense.

    The only reason I like watchn games now is because of Eddie Griffin and now Rudy and his wise starting lineups decides TLD is better than our future franchise. This just makes me sick. I can't believe how mad I am.

    Well, with 8 minutes to go in the half, I see our 3 guards have 13 points total and Wash 2 guards have 20 points. Boy, that 3 guard line-up is whoopin ass again!

    3-guard lineup?

    Tank-A-Thon 2001-02. Let's hope that high draft pick really helps our off-season.

    OK, I have to eat my last post. Just for today. Not that we could play this lineup against many teams, but we did win.

    It's funny laughing at everyone's posts in this thread now. I'm sure there will be just as many "rudy is a genius" threads started as there would have been "rudy is an idiot" threads if we had lost.
