    Why the hell is delfino playing the 4 position? There's no defense and rebounding!!! I do not understand Mchale. Im tired of watching the other team abusing Delfino and easily scoring/rebounding.

    Stretches the floor and maximizes our offensive efficiency.

    Well its not really working on the defensive side. The opposing team scores and rebounds more. I see the opposing team benefiting more often then does the Rockets.

    One thing I hate the most is when Delfino plays the 4 with 20 seconds left in the game and the other team scores and ultimately wins. It happen a few times already this season.

    Was D-Mo working on the defensive end? Was Thomas Robinson?

    I hear what you are saying, but all our big men have been terribly defensively and giving away fouls easily

    Because obese Morey traded away all the PF.

    Small ball - Rockets play it.

    "As much "trouble" Delfino has on defense, I'm sure it's no fun chasing him around on the offensive end. You're always trading off. Blah blah blah" - (paraphrasing) Morey

    Why doesn't Chandler play the 4 in this lineup? Surely Chandler can guard the other team's 4 slightly better than Delfino.

    Delfino is probably stronger. Also, Chandler is a better perimeter defender and has a bigger role on offense.

    Zach Randolph is just abusing Delfino. It's painful to watch.

    I prefer T-rob. I think playing t-rob over delfino is better. By playing t-rob more, we also develop him while getting rebounds.

    We need to get Scola back so we can put him at the 5... the Argentinian small ball frontcourt!

    You gain a little on the boards, but lose more on the offensive end.

    We are playing the 3 at PF because there ain't no competent 4s on this team.

    I agree this is r****ded. Delfino's speciality is 3 shooting and we have other Rockets who are great at it.

    Our offense is fine without Delfino's 3. Him playing PF is a defensive liability

    If you are playing Delfino at 4, wtf is Terrance Jones not playing? Morey is just the cheap/stupid/fat version of Billy Beane

    Why do you ask the question now? He's been playing PF since the trade.

    Looking back next season, you will realize without the trade, we wouldn't be much better off, but we will be better off now we have Trob as asset. ;)
