    Tracy can play the point because he's a point-forward. ;)

    Hasn't anyone noticed that TMac can't dribble very well especially against a double team?

    LOL - Him I said should have gotten a chance to find out if he was part of our future. I wish he were here now...

    I would start TMac at the PG spot and let Battier chase the PG around on defense.

    You guys are delusional. I would rather want to see Chuck Hayes on Billups than T-Mac. What's Billups career high? If we put T-Mac on Billups, he's gonna top that.

    You do realize that you can have a player start at PG on offense and guard the other team's SF on defense, right?

    Have Shane start at SF and let him guard Billups.

    I don't think Tracy is fit enough to play PG right now/

    True. Also he doesn't have the fundamental skills of a PG!

    I don't think Tmac can handle the strap of Billups nowadays.

    True T-mac can guard billups, but who's going to run? billups is slow but at least he can run. T-mac don't even run anymore.

    What about our second unit? if tmac, battier, and artest all starting?

    I think aldeman will have either brooks or head start and see how it goes and decide to make changes then.

    :confused:
    He's one of the best ball handling swingmen in NBA history.

    As far as playing him at point, I would give it a shot. When Luther Head is the only alternative, any course of action should be up for consideration.

    Considering Shane's ankle's right now... Don't think that's gonna be a good idea. Plus if T-Mac plays the 1, then Billups should match his career high in steals. Our best bet is probably to play Brooks 30+ minutes and YES, play LUTHER HEAD. I expect to see Luther getting 20 minutes of play time at the least.

    not a bad idea.. i think artest can bring up the ball also if tmac doesn't want to do it.. I like that lineup a lot.. what do you guys think about battier guarding billups?

    1. He'll bring the ball up too slowly
    2. Haven't you seen him turn the ball over with annoyingly high consistency when he is double teamed?

    I'd be willing to bet that Luther Head will start at PG and share PG duties with Tmac...

    You bet.

    (not a knock on Tracy, just stating what we all see)

    Remember seeing Aaron bringing the ball up the court like a gust of wind?

    Remember seeing Rafer bringing the ball up speedingly passing other Rocket players?

    Remember seeing Tracy walking the ball up?

    I do and I would rather see Aaron or Luther in Rafer place.

    I think we still have a chance for a big win. Remember the victory over Hornets while Alston got his 1-game suspension after the Phoenix game? Brook had one of his best games in this season. So, Let's just wish they prepare well for the game & bring their best to the court tomorrow night.
