Not if we're playing Harden/Lin/Asik/Parsons 40 minutes a game.

The Bench needs to step up big time over the next several weeks. I personally hope that Patt & Mook get locked into a game of one-upsmanship, elevating both of their games!

Smith, Delfino & Wollumbin can't have "bad games" over this stretch. Need some consistency.

with patterson back in game shape, morris might come off the bench again so the bench will be depper. hopefully anderson can have some scoring spurts in the b2b stretch.

this is a perfect oppurtunity for chandler to do his best lebron james impression. lebron was obsessed with stats early in his career. huge chunk of his season totals can come from these b2bs.

I wasn't sure who this "LeBron James" was, so I used the Google machine and it told me that you were talking about Black Chandler Parsons.

Please try to be clearer in the future.

At first glance thought it was Wade to LeBron...


Mr. E's discovery is truly missing with my mind.

Your starters are going to break down with Mchale playing them that many minutes.

Usually only Harden and Parsons mins approach 40min mark.

Harden beacuse he is pretty much the only guy who can consistently score, and White LBJ because versatility (2,3,4)

Asik sat most of 4th.
Lin played so much because McHale wanted to play small try and force the team to push the tempo up. There was a lot of Parsons/Pat at 4/5 then 3 of Lin/Wollumbin/Delfino/Harden.

Currently the 6 seed

Harden is very good with their individual basketball
Lin needs to do more points
Harden needs to pass more the ball
Lin is playing more than 40 minutes for two reasons
First because the defense of Douglas is not anymore the same
Second, because Lin is currently the best defender of Houston
If Lin continue to evolve in its defense, he can be 1 or 2 defensive team in the NBA


He was in longer cuz Hornets wont go away easily
No no yes yes

I like Pat's attitude: He wants the starting job, and he's going to play hard and earn it on the court! If he averages 8 reb/36 mins, he'll have that starting job for good.

“At my point in my career, I don’t feel like I’m at the level where I can tell Coach, ‘Hey, I want my starting spot back.’ I don’t feel I have the years under my belt to do something like that.”

Kinda ugly win, but those count too.

Harden has been a mother on offense. These last few games even more so than before. Our offense, overall, is looking quite good for that matter.

On defense other than poor transition defense, which is to be expected due our floor balance and the high pace this teams plays at, I think we've looked quite solid actually.
Harden isn't Kevin Martin bad on D, but too often is he out of position and not paying attention. If Harden can correct that, look out. Potentially top-5 O and (near) top-10 D (there's really no reason we can't be as good as GS on D). :wizard:
