    Our Rockets have been getting better and better over the years. Last year is the first time in a long time that I can remember where I didn't feel we needed our two best to win a game or compete over a stretch.

    Now, because of Artest's versatility, I'm curious: What combination of players do you want to see on the floor when Yao and Tracy rest?

    For me?:

    C-Scola
    PF-Landry
    SF-Artest
    SG-Battier
    PG-Barry

    I think this combination of players is smart enough and talented enough to play with another teams best. What's your combination?

    Mutombo/Dorsey or Hayes/Artest/Battier/Alston; complete shutdown.

    Thank you. I know it doesn't matter when these two are on the court but its annoying as hell to see people list Shane at the 2. He can not nor has he ever played shooting guard.

    I didn't really think about defense, but that's an awesome lineup.

    pmac... settle down, man. 2/3 are basically the same position in most offenses.

    No team in the NBA can score 80 against this lineup. :D

    C Motombe or Dorsey
    PF Landry or Hayes
    SFArtest
    SG Battier
    PG Rafer

    Barry/Francis if he is playing better
    Artest
    Battier
    Scola
    Dorsey or deke

    Thats not an overly tall lineup, but it provides insane amount of defense. dorse/artest/battier = nightmare scenarios for the opposition.
