Let's do it! Not so fearless prediction: Lin finishes top 5 in 6th man of the year.

I'm gonna watch as many Rocket games as possible now.

I'm want to know how this is going to work.

I figured that lineup would gel by the 2nd game of the 3 game experiment. Sho nuff!

I'm stoked - will be an exciting season and thank god Lin is coming off the bench. He shouldn't start with this lineup.

I think it's the right move. Lin can play the 1 or 2 and cause some Linsanity by himself. Dwight, harden, and parsons don't need other creators

They made it work with Greg Smith and Asik last season. Howard is Greg Smith X10.

Don't think Asik starting is a big deal, that situation will play itself out but I like Lin off the bench as a scorer.

IMO, they should start:

Howard
Jones
Parsons
Harden
Beverley

Keep Asik on the bench so you can always have one of them on the floor.

I just don't see the Asik with Howard thing working out.

Too much clogging of the lanes.

Don't think he'll be in the rotation, the other players mentioned as possible starters were Casspi/Motijunas but they'll come of the bench along with Lin and Garcia.

It'll be interested to see how they stagger the minutes to be able to keep one of them on the floor all the time. Asik will prob come out at the first timeout then rest 3 or 4 min, then Dwight will come out and get a rest.

So what's the plan for playing DH and Asik together?

Probably a lot of what we saw with Smith and Asik last year. Pick n roll at top of key with the other big on the weak side.

So far it has during the preseason. No one besides those two get rebounds, D Howard is quick enough to guard the stretch 4's. I'm really looking forward to this season.
