3/1 - [Game 60] Rockets v. Magic 7:00 EST

Maybe we cut Robinson out of the rotation entirely, and commit to Parsons/Delfino full time at the 4? Roll w/ somethin like....

PG - Lin (30) - Beverley (18)
SG - Harden (30) - Brooks (18)
SF - Parsons (12) - Delfino (28) - Harden (8)
PF - Motiejunas (24) - Parsons (24)
Cc - Asik (32) - Smith (16)

?? I dunno.

harden needs at least 35mpg. we're not good enough to compensate w/o him, even for 5minutes. and im not fond of parsons/delfino backing up the 4 . remember delfino's reaction to playing the 4 (to be fair he was guarding 6'11 250lb NENE THE HILARIOUS ONE!")

GOD DAYAM THAT HAD TO HURT LIKE HELL

i wanna see jones get some burn. its been two games so now its jones' turn to prove himself. if neither can make the rotation then we have to go with parsons and delfino backing up the 4. brooks being the backup two would boost that small ball lineup

Yeah, I agree. I'd like to see some Jones too, just trying to speculate what coaching staff would do. And I think you missed Harden getting 8 mins at the 3 (super small ball), so he'd be getting 38 in that idea.

oh i see it

the backup sg has to go between garcia or brooks. i want mchale to give them a chance. they both bring something different. more teams are playing deep rotations, even the spurs. so they both can get minutes

Rockets have a huge problem at PF. Dmo is just terrible on the defensive end. T-Rob.. I have nothing positive to tell about him.

If Dmo was good at defence he would have been allstar this season already. 17pts in 24 minutes, that is huge!
Dont expect a rookie to be very good everywhere.
How many minutes he have played this season prior to this week? like 30 combined? no wonder why he doesn't feel his teammates and continues to make defensive mistakes. Maybe he lacks some strength for defensive end. Don't want to sound rasist but how many young white guys were good defenders in their first seasons (probably like 1 out of 10 or so)? defence will come for dmo. He is really hard worker and I dont see any reason why he cant be good or at least decent defender in the future when he adds some strength and starts feeling his teammates better (expecting it to happen for the next season).
