So are most of us in agreement that Horford is our best 2 way player?

Hes probably the best player. I think Isaiah might be more valuable to the team.

tho a world with Amir and Jonas in the starting lineup is horrifying so perhaps not.

Do you think JJ has earned another start or was this just a strategy for Houston?

JJ really seems to be keeping balls alive - doesn't happen much with Amir.

let me check on the Boston Nets vs. Washington Wizards game.

I would imagine he's our starting PF now. Amir is just toast now and should only be playing against bench players.

According to the refs, Houston commit perfect blocks and steals.

[Neurotic Guy]

Brooklyn hanging tough -- up by 2.   These are the types of games that raise/lower the pick value.  Got to lose these.

Ok it tied at 100 with 5 mins to go.

I'm crossing my fingers

The Rockets are just so irritating to watch...

I thought it was to match up with Houston, but with how well he meshes with this starting unit I think he should stay in there

Yup. Amir used to bring a level of physicality that JJ couldn't dream of. That was the trade off as JJ was always a better offensive player. Unfortunately for us Amir has eroded to what you see before you. I honestly think JJ might be the better defender at this point.

[jpotter33]

God, JJ's length has been so helpful tonight. He's tapped a lot of balls out.

Poor Amir he might be lucky to get a long term deal anywhere after this year.. Maybe his foot is still bothering him and he is just playing through it. If so he'd be advised to take some time off and try come back better and secure one last deal
