    Default Rockets new starting lineup is practicing together already

    So the players themselves set up their own mini-camp in LA.

    Dwight
    T-Jones
    Parsons
    Harden
    Lin
    Casspi

    this is what every hungry NBA team needs to do more in the offseason.

    That lineup would look a lot more impressive if they replaced Lin with someone that wasn't terrible.

    Yeah...I'm going to go out on a limb and say they aren't the only ones who, to some extent, have gotten together and worked out or practiced or played pick-up games together.

    They have Casspi too? Wow. Do they still have Delfino? He was pretty solid last season...

    Lin better not play like a bitch this season, he's the only one stopping this team from being great.

    “He’s all for it,” said Parsons. “That’s a huge reason he chose to come to Houston. He loves our style of play, he loves the personnel. He looks forward to playing with me and James and Jeremy. I think it reminds him of Orlando where they had him and Gortat, and now it will be him and Omer. You have me as the Turkoglu kind of player. And no offense to Courtney Lee, but James is one of the best if not the best two-guards in the NBA. Their offense was really good when they could space the floor, have him roll out of the pick-and-roll, find shooters and play inside-out. I think our offense is very similar to the offense that he had a lot of success with in Orlando, but ours has even more freedom, it’s more up-tempo, and the more he runs, ducks in and the harder he rolls on those pick-and-rolls, it’s just going to open up our offense even more.”


    If Omer isn't traded, I hope he can buy into his role playing along Dwight. The rim protection with just one on the court changes games. Imagine the D when they are both in the game.... Scary good.

    Lin will be better next season.

    He wasn't even bad last season. That is a misconception by some around here.

    His main problem last year was turnovers.
