    Don't care who it is, but do we need to change the lineup as in NOW?

    Maybe Rick is tanking us...

    Maybe he's dumb

    maybe her's smarter than us...

    or it doesn't matter

    what do you think?

    Martin will start, probably sooner rather than later.

    The new guys haven't even had a full practice yet. They are still learning the system.

    I think Martin should start, Battier comes off the bench.

    But I think Andersen should play less, and I think Jeffries or Chuck should play more in 2nd and 4th quarters. The Rockets have to get back to defending.

    Guaranteed wins. The All-Intangibles team.

    PG-Temple
    SG-Ariza
    SF-Battier
    PF-Hayes
    C-Jeffries

    Do it, Adelman!

    this.

    I'm not going to watch games or go anymore if they're going to just piss the season away at this point.

    This is the way the Rockets starting lineup should be.

    Brooks - Lowry
    Martin - Budinger
    Ariza - Battier
    Scola - Jefferies
    Hill - Hayes

    Jordan Hill, give him the starting nod. Yes, he's a rookie. But his presence on the defensive end will be more valuable than Chuck Hayes lack of height. It's simple..our defense is struggling and having just the presense of Hill down the middle can change the dynamics of the game.

    Nah, Scola, Hill
    Hayes, Jeffries

    all the rest could stay... maybe start Lowry for match up reasons on occasion for once?

    Lowry, Martin, Ariza, Scola, Armstrong should be our starting line up.
    Then: Temple, AB, Battier, Hayes/Hill, Jeffries

    Starter: AB. Martin. Ariza. Scola. Hayes
    2nd unit: Lowry. Budd. Battier. Jefferies
    9 man rotation is enough.
    Scola should play more since we no longer have Landry. i see Hayes starting, however, majority of the minutes goes to Jefferies at center position.

    Brooks/Lowry(Temple)
    Martin/Budinger/Tayor
    Ariza/Battier
    Scola/Jeffries/Hill
    Hayes/Andersen(Armstrong vs certain teams)

    This should be our rotation from here on out and let the chips fall where they will.

    Dont know why some idiots have Temple starting over Brooks... Brooks will start, sorry.

    Only thing that will change is either Battier or Ariza coming off the bench, and maybe Jeffries starting over Hayes (although I dont see that happening).

    I'd rather see Ariza come off the bench than Battier. Maybe going to the bench will be what Ariza needs to improve his game.

    I think it's pretty obvious he is thinking spread the court and let Battier and Hayes run the pick and roll all game long......
