    JVG is trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work. Mo Taylor starting isn't working. He's better off the bench. JVG has not attempted to start JH. JH is not as accustomed to coming off the bench at Mo is. I suspect JH is DNP-ing the last few games to give Padgett more of a look. JVG is grasping at straws trying to figure out a combination that works. He might as well try my combination while he's at it cause he certainly hasn't been successful doing what he's been doing.

    As far as your winning team comments, there is no "I" in team. JH doesn't make or break a team. So, it's all JH's fault he has been on non-winning teams then? I'm looking for a combination that gets the most out of our players. I think JH starting with Mo off the bench may get better production out of those 2 players and the fact is it has not been tried.

    I've said my peace and you've hardly presented convincing arguments to contradict trying what I've suggested. So, we're done here. I don't argue over the Internet any more because it is a quest in futility. If that's what your looking for, then go find someone else. I just wanted more of a debate than someone just saying "he sucks". Truthfully, we don't know why JVG sat JH and I suspect it won't be for long. I may very well be wrong and my suggestion could be disastrous but I have yet to be convinced that I'm wrong by anyone here. As long as JVG is trying to figure out things, he should give this a shot. Mo is way too inconsistent for a starter.

    Why are we EVEN DEBATING about a guy whos on the DNP???
    Lets argue about Scott Padgett or Boki.
    Guys who are good enough to be bench players.

    Lets argue Juwan Howard vs other DNPs like:
    Larry Robinson
    Richard Petruska

    Dude you can argue anyone of the Rockets starting has not been working.

    My argument that Juwan Howard isnt a good player on losing teams.
    He is one of the reasons the teams are losing.

    12 FRICKIN YEARS in the NBA and everyone of the teams he has gone to has sucked. After he leaves, the teams MAGICALLY get better.

    Orlando:
    before JUWAN = lost to the Bucks in the playoffs
    during JUWAN = worst team in the NBA
    after JUWAN = winning record

    Denver:
    during JUWAN =one of the worst teams in the NBA
    after JUWAN =playoffs, lost to the Wolves

    Dallas:
    during JUWAN=traded mid season -lost in the playoffs
    after JUWAN (trade)=Western Conference Finals vs the Spurs

    Rockets:
    before JUWAN=Lost to the Lakers
    NOW= season trending toward disaster

    Washington:
    during JUWAN=couldn't win with: BEN WALLACE, RASHEED WALLACE, CHRIS WEBBER, MITCH RICHMOND.. etc

    You CANT ARGUE THE LOSING TREND OF THIS DUDE. PROVE ME WRONG SMURF BOY.

    I'm threw talking to you. Your argument has degraded into name-calling. That's real mature of you.
