    One can argue he is the reason we also lost game 3. He did afterall lose the ball which turned into Lin getting it and passing to Daniels nailing the dagger 3. Was Mo fouled? Maybe, but they didn't call it and because of that Mo was the reason we lost.

    From this point forward, Lebron James could go on to win multiple NBA titles, MVPs and All-Star appearances, but his his GREATEST accomplishment will ALWAYS be the fact that he made Mo Williams an All-Star.

    Give them to CJ. I have a feeling he's due.

    Small ball is killing us, because for one thing they're bigger than us. Mo looks like a little kid next to Lin, and Wright and Trob are not centers. Freeland or Leonard should be out there every minute that Lopez isn't. We get absolutely killed on the boards every time Rolo sits, and give up layups at the other end.

    Leonard shouldn't be playing, not this year.
    I agree that either Lopez or Freeland should play though, IMO for the entire game, unless Aldridge somehow becomes much much better defending the paint by Friday. I would like to see some Freeland/T-Rob together. Playing Aldridge with Robinson didn't work, neither did Stotts' insistence on playing at least two starters all the time. We had two starters playing throughout Houston's 15-0 run to finish the 1st, start the 2nd, didn't give us any advantage obviously.
    I also would like to once again question not having Claver even on the bench. I think he's able to contribute more than at least 3 players sitting on the bench. I understand Stotts likes Watson as insurance but Claver can actually make us better.

    I wouldn't mind seeing CJ get some minutes. Mo and Wright scare me. They each have had one game where they played well, but throwing a new wrinkle could change the series.

    You are a better defender than Mo.

    It's too bad no one told the Houston coaches they shouldn't be changing the rotation before they put that Troy Daniels guy in the game. That was really a dumb move by them.

    ;)

    Thanks. I try. I wish you would share more of your expensive pearls of wisdom that you learned from Stanford.

    Mo was fucking terrible last night and I blame his bullshit antics that he pulled with their team on Game 4. Nice fucking job stirring up shit and causing them to fucking get angry. Then Mo goes and lays a fucking egg. He deserved that shit.

    And who the fuck let's Jeremy Lin (whose hobbling around almost as bad as Bev) torch them over and over. Lin isn't that good, but apparently is better than MO?

    Fuck me.

    Lin isn't that bad either. Maybe he's not a star, and he certainly isn't as good as Goran Dragic (who they should have kept), but he's a decent player.

    You play the bench less minutes. Dame and Wes and Batum should just eat up as many minutes as possible. Dont change who is in the rotation at this point.

    It amazes me of this "I'm tired of mo" shit! FACT... Wthout Mo, we would have lost game 4 without question. He is a streak player, but a vet. Barton is still a player that plays out of control. Fuck that noise!

    You're acting like I'm saying, "give all of Mo's minutes to Barton!"

    I'm saying give Barton some minutes if our bench is struggling. This isn't a throw from left field. The guy was in the rotation at the end of the season. I think he'd be a nice change of pace to throw at the rockets if Lin starts giving us trouble.

    Well this is what you wrote...

    Anyone that reads that, would definitely assume you want Barton to replace Mo in minutes... Also, in the game threads, you've been saying how you don't want mo to even be in the game. Just Sayin'
