Yeah there aren't many (if any) good Speedsters in Marvel.

And" Martian" and Martin fit well together.

We will all forget about this thread in a couple days anyway...

GO ROCKETS!

Yao need to go to his hooks more. His fadeaway shot is a low percentage shot.

Total kneejerk but,

Does anyone else think Ish makes Lowry expendable? I know Lowry can't be traded until next year without his consent.

I like the Yao/Hill combo. That whole unit looks good, really.

LOL AB... There is a reason you haven't signed an extension. It pains me to say it but it makes you more expendable. Ish seems to be faster than AB wile being in control in the open court. Just cant shoot.

The reason I didnt say Brooks is because Ish and Kyle have the same skillsets, with Ish being way cheaper.

And if you look at our roster, our bench compliments our starters. That seems to be Morey's philosphy when building the team.

Offense Defense

Brooks / Lowry
Martin / Lee
Battier / Bud
Scola / Hayes
Yao / Hill

With the exception being Yao since hes a 2 way player and superstar

You're gonna be expendable when Smith learns how to shoot. :wink:


On a serious note, Ish Smith isn't close to touching Lowry and Brooks spot on the rotation. I'm still nervous when he gets on the court. Defensively he's like Brooks, offensively he's like Lowry. He's got it wrong.

Brooks and Martin are pretty much unstoppable throughout this preseason. They better get 30+ minutes during the regular season.

I'd be amazed if Battier averaged 7 points this year
