Rockets.com article previewing tonights game states: Projected Starting Lineup: ROCKETS Pos Player G Rafer Alston G Tracy McGrady F Shane Battier F Luis Scola C Yao Ming
Yao Tmac Shane James Hayes I really want Scola to be the starting PF, but it will take a while for him to be that position.
In this game, Rox should fous on trading Lucas first. Play Lucas more in this game, if he is going to play well, then the Hornets may change their mind, and take him to their home after the game.
I'll be very suprised if Alston starts after all this... My vote is for SF3, not saying thats what I want but, IMO most likely. MJ is more likely to start than Skip, especially when the regular season rolls around. Starting the next few games won't mean that much anyways as these preseason minutes will be heavily divived up so that Adelman can see exactly what he has and what units play better together. I'm interested to see what happens when our "starters" sit actually: Butler Hayes Wells SF3 MJ ?
80% of that line up won 53 games last year (when healthy). Why wouldn't he start? With a bigger 4, we only stand to improve. Once SF3/MJ/AB prove they can run the 1 better, they'll start. Of course tonight could mean jack shhheeeeit come the 30th.
You stat based fellers, run the stats when Yao/TMac/Shane/Rafer started, what was the Wins vs Losses. What was the stat on 3 players together as +/-?
true. it doesnt "mean" anything really, but i also dont understand why people are so surprised with rafer starting
