I think we always do better with Hayes in the game; So.. C- Hayes PF- Scola SF- Bud SG- Brooks PG- Lowry combination of outside shooting, inside defense, speed, transition, and midrange game
None of the options up there is the best lineup by far if Ariza is there taking up a spot in the lineup.
Just goes to show how much Adelman integrates Ariza into his situationals. Whether it be speed, power, or size.
This. Take the speed one and add Budinger. Alternately, take the bench one and add Brooks. http://www.82games.com/0910/0910HOU2.HTM
i actually think we could use Rafer Alston with our speed lineup. Lowry and Brooks are both shoot first PGs, Lowry is a better passer but he makes very slow decisions. Alston would average 10+ assists with Budinger and Landry running with him.
Wayne Winston: "As a matter of fact the trio of Brooks, Landry and Lowry filled out with players excluding Hayes and Scola has played 14 points better than average in 255 minutes. This is the Rockets at their best." http://waynewinston.com/wordpress/?p=382#comments
Went with the bench. That team is a killer in the break, as well is the speed one. I just think the speed one lacks defense with Lowry or Brooks having to defend shooting guards. The bench one is probably the most well-balanced and probably the most effective, at least if you ask me. Everybody is a fast break player in that lineup and that's the way we play.
though it doesn't make any sense,i just follow y guys if i was the coach instead of adelamn,my choice is like that: starter pg:lowry sg:brooks sf:battier pf:landry c:hayes bench: scola C-bud ariza TJ DA give more minutes to lowry and landry bench ariza and scola during 4th quarter,play both landry and scola,sit hayes
any lineup without Ariza.. . I'll even take: Dorsey, Cook, Taylor, Buddinger, Lowery.. Just as long as it means Ariza's not in the game.
