I'm sure you all know by now, I'm not a big fan of that three guard line up. It exposes us too much on defense, though it does give us unlimited scoring potential.
While Tim Thomas has not been scoring the ball, or even rebounding much, his defense has been solid when it counts. On a couple of big possessions this season, where the game could have gone either way, TT was there to make a big defensive play (once against Cleveland on Lebron, and a few other times as well though I don't remember exactly). I can't imagine Houston doing the same, especially having only 6 games under his belt.
I'd be much more comfortable with either Houston or Crawford coming off the bench as I think that makes us a better all around team, but it seems our shooting guards egos are too much to allow either to come off the bench. Oh well, I just hope Lenny doesn't go senile on the bench and knows when to sub each out when the situation calls for it. Sorry, I'll stop ranting now.
