What's wrong with that? If Damp is backing up Yao I can see this lineup possibly being effective at times. It's not ideal, but him playing backup c is just as ineffective as Chuck playing backup c right now. A shooting seven foot 4 with a rebounding/shotblocking c doesn't sound to horrible to me.

Terrible lineup still.

Just use Hayes as a situational guy/one stop specialist.

Either Jordan Hill or Pattrick Patterson should be the backup PF.

Have you seen the way Miller moves on the court? He's like a top 5 slowest player in the league right now and you want him to chase athletic PFs in the NBA?


Which reminds me. We actually have 2 of the top 5 slowest players in the league.

That sure was quite a terrible game.

Bad gameplan, not a fan of the rotation, very sloppy play.

Brooks had a really bad game. Martin and Lowry shot a lot of bricks ... so many missed layups.

It bugs me out how you can just ignore Scola for most of the game when they cleary have no answer for him.

Brad Miller was dreadful. No rim protection, forced plays, gave up rebounding position too easy, arguably slower than Yao.

Semi-funny note: When I wrote that Scola would destroy Shelden Williams, I originally wrote something like "but of course then they'll bring in Al Harrington who'll go 5/8 from 3 and kill the Rockets." I ultimately left it out, because I didn't want to look like a fool, since Harrington looked rather horrid in that New Orleans game.

Oh well... :)
On to the next one.

Lowlry to start at PG. He's a good defender and distributor.
Brooks to come off the bench as the 6th man?

Any objections?

I didn't see the game, but at this point I think Lowry should start. Bring Brooks off the bench and give him a 6th man role. I could really see him being a Jamal Crawford/Barbosa type player off the bench. Put him and Lee in the game when Martin and Lowry go to the bench.
