I think we a need a pass 1st pg in the starting line up but I do think brooks need to be then backup pg to provide that spark. lowry or ish/brooks (6th man like jason terry) martin/lee(lee can also take some extra minutes away from battier) battier/bud(24 min each. I wouldn't mind bud starting either, depending on matchups) scola/hayes yao/hill
Good point. In that case: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195420 http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195170 http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195403 http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195401 http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195427
until they start playing better TEAM defense, i would give the better defensive players more minutes: hayes and jeffries play backup to yao and scola. lee eats buds minutes backing up shane and martin. and lowry splits time with brooks. JVG style coaching! you don't like your playing time? play better defense!!
I would like the Rockets rotatition to be playing the Timberwolves every game the rest of the way. So 76 more games this year, and let us rotate between Houston and Minny. DD
Give the team some credit, this formula will work against other teams as well. Will it be as effective as a 30 pt lead against teams like LA or PHO? Probably not, but, but it will still be effective nonetheless. I think we're starting something here.
I'd like to see Hill together with Yao. Yao isn't as mobile as he once was, and neither is Scola. When the two are playing together, we have trouble rebounding. I think playing Yao together with Hill would help this. Yao could get the rebounds in the immediate vicinity of the basket, and Hill can scoop up the others that he misses. In my opinion, Hill has shown that he is a very mobile rebounder. As for the rotation, if we start Brooks, Martin, Battier, Scola and Yao, Hill needs to be the first big off the bench, followed by Dampier (when we get him), to relieve Yao or Scola. Either this, or bringing Scola off the bench.
lowry/smith martin/lee budinger scola/hill yao/dampier you should switch off between bud and shane, depending on who we play. i mean one is offense, one is defense on b2b lowry/smith martin/lee budinger scola/hill dampier/miller and then, in the meanwhile try and trade brook+battier+jeffries+picks for someone
Hill needs more minutes, he isn't a legit starter yet, but boy could develop into something very nice if we give him the time to like we did Landry. With Brooks out, Lowry doubtful, I think we might need to see Budinger, Lee or Taylor spend some more minutes as a pseudo point. Because what Adelman did this year and last year, leaving the only healthy PG in the game for 40+ minutes will kill us no matter who is out there.
I know a lot of you guys don't like going super fast tempo but I really think we could do some serious damage. These guys can't play "D", or even want to, so let them do what they do best, score. AB/Lowry/Ish Martin/Lee Budinger/Lee/PP Scola/Hill/PP Yao/Miller Hayes, Battier and Jeffries will be defensive specialist against certain matchups but no longer regular rotation players. Yao will no longer be the focal point of the offense but rather just another option so no more waiting around for him, attack the rim and if nothing develops then post him up and PP should get some minutes at the 3 and 4.
Maybe, but we are one missed defensive assignment away from beating the Lakers. And 2 missed FTs away from beating the Spurs. I never felt they were as far away as the panic brigade to begin with. DD
That is good rotation put Ish instead of Brooks because of injury and lets roll. Chase needs to find his mojo because lately his shot is way off.
