LOL: The Rockets Will Move Dwight To PF and Play Asik At Center

[Koolaid_Man]

:lmao is this supposed to be the 2nd coming of the twin towers :lol...or does Mchale think he will see himself along with Parrish out there with these guys...Gasol will feast on Dwight at the 4....Dwight has never been able to effectively play Gasol 1 on 1...and Asik is such an poor offensive player he will make Kaman look like an All-Star

Here's a sample from an excellent Article on why this fail and fail miserably...


Howard is a similarly impactful defender, but that's irrelevant because one of the two would inevitably be put into a weaker role.

Would it be D12, thereby mitigating his fantastic post defense?


While he's great at defending spot-up shooters, he's a terrible isolation defender, lacking the foot speed to stay with the more versatile players. He'd also be caught up in more switches that way.


Letting Howard guard a power forward just doesn't make sense, but neither does letting Asik.


While the Turkish big man ranked 89th in isolation among all qualified players and displays surprisingly quick feet, he wasn't very good against spot-up shooters. In fact, they scored on 35.7 percent of possessions against him, and that was while he was primarily guarding centers. Stretch 4's would absolutely tear either center apart.



:lol ^ Can someone say Jordan Hill :lol Looks like Mike D is a genius already and already out thinking Mchale ...


This isn't another version of the Twin Towers. It's a redundant pairing of two limited big men. And while Howard is the league's best center when healthy, he's still limited by his lack of a jumper and his struggles guarding the perimeter.


They'd make the offense worse and create more opportunities for their opponents to score.

[Michael Jordan.]

First we had general manager Daryl Morey sharing his thoughts on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ki6w2/iam_the_houston_rockets_gm_ama_offseason_addition/): "Coach McHale plans to experiment with Dwight at PF and Omer as C in training camp. If it works and helps us win, obviously we would look at using it."

pistons went right back to the finals and gave up a big game 7 lead, not to mention horry's miraculous game 5. the pistons were no fluke, but where the Lakers failed, the Spurs succeeded, because we didn't have our beta trying to go all alpha and shooting us out of a chip

He's back to having one dominant big instead of two. Now if he can't win with that...

[spurraider21]

He's back to having one dominant big instead of two. Now if he can't win with that...

It's fine, Clyde Drexler couldn't win without a dominant big man either, and he ended up coat-tailing one to his only title. Its nothing to be ashamed of. Its just that Clyde didn't have Kobe's luck to start his career on a team with a dominant big to win 3 rings. When Portland tried to give him a dominant big, they took Bowie...

[Rogue]

playing two non-jumper bigs in the paint ain't a good idea in modern basketball imho. at least you need one of them to shoot some jumpers or at least pose a threat on the perimeter (which's why Ibaka has developed good mid-range imho, so he and Porkins can form an efficient combo). The combo of Tyson and Amare was expected to give NY the strongest paint of the east but it didn't work out as their desired, due to the lack of attacking range in those two guys imho. Tyson was a beast while playing alongside a PF that had awesome shooting range (Dirk). I believe he and Bargnani playing together in the paint would do a good job for NY, if the wop can play PF.

It's quite apparent the Rockets' FO doesn't have much knowledge about the game itself, no surprise though given the average brain level of that city. They just specialize in flattering them chinks and making profits out of the yellow pool of piss

Funny thing is he made that same shot over Kirby at the end of 4th in a close game(not the same gif but a similar shot), Kirby had a clutch bucket or two and he tried to defend the midget but got shitted on, it was also the closest the Lakers got to a victory vs the clips

:lol 0 - 4 against the Clippers, can't win 1 out of 4 games at home even with refs helping, there was a stat where out of 3 games in the regular season Lakers only held a lead for a total of about 2 minutes against the Clippers, 2 minutes with 3 games played :lmao
