There is actually no reason to rush Harden in the game with Lin playing like an All-star team basketball. There' still a question about McHale's ability in distribution of minutes to the players of the team. Anderson has been missing easy lay-ups and yet the coaches seem to like him better. Garcia started showing signs of being a shooter and team player with lots of composure in the game. Players may not be able to cover up the rear end of the coaches' miscues though.

Anderson hasn't been fitting into the offense all that well, but the early indications are that he provides more of a rebounding presence than Garcia. Might be why the coaching staff has been persevering with him up to this point. Although it's debatable whether that's necessary if you're starting both Smith and Asik...

One more game like that from T. Jones, and the Rockets will have a new starting 4 (again). He has a lot of Josh Smith in his game, but with better shot selection. Motiejunas has continued bringing poor shooting and nothing else to the floor, other than the occasional post move.

I feel like we're literally rotating our starting 4's. A handful of good games should not sway us so easily. We went through the same thing w/ DMo, just went through it w/ GSmith, and now TJones? lol
Can't believe how deep we are at the 4. Still have TRob too (maybe his turn will finally come in a week 
). This is AFTER we traded MM and 2Pat away. Cray cray.

through all threads this year I have held to the point that we need to be patient at the 4 position........I still believe that. we have enough young raw talent there to get by for now. sooner hopefully rather than later one of these guys will emerge and solve our PF problem. no need to use our cap room in this position. we have other areas that are better served

I agree, we don't even need to use our cap room. But I still think we should use it either this year or next year rather than just letting it go to waste.

It looked like Harden moved slower than others last night. His ball movement was on and off.
Is he still injured? If not, he should better run & cut more.
I knew he can create, pass, draw but looks sticky at times.
Any idea what is the best way to use Harden? Maybe we should create a new thread.

According to RAPM he's the 6th best player this season so I think he's fine, although I do get frustrated at his lack of movement without the ball sometimes. I was a little disappointed when Cousins beat him down the floor on a fast break. Maybe his foot still hurts him, maybe he's lazy/tired, or maybe a bit of both.

It's probably a good thing that they're all getting a chance to shine. After all, Morey is playing a numbers game here that one of them will evolve into a star player. In order for that to work he's got to allow some time to see what they've got before making his decision on which horse to back. Taking into account that none of the contenders for the position are used to the NBA grind yet and it's actually probably a good idea to be rotating them in and out.

Re-reading my post, I see I actually gave off the wrong impression. I think rotating through our 4's is a pretty smart idea, just for the reasons you stated. We have too much in young, potential assets -- potential is great, but knowing is better, esp. when we'll have to unload some of them at some point. So I agree with your comment.
When I said we were "rotating our starting 4's" (bad choice in words), I had actually meant in our (the fans) EXCITEMENT in them haha. It is like every week fans are saying _____ is the new answer to the 4, only to change _____ to someone else a week later
