    We have seen it work to great effect several times throughout the season, but we have also seen the Rockets get killed by it.

    Advantages:
    -Better on offense
    -Better at forcing turnovers on other end
    -Better at help defense (easier to double post players due to mobility)
    -Faster


    Disadvantages:
    -Terrible at Rebounding
    -No shot-blockers (besides the occasional PPat block)

    How do you guys feel about it?

    I personally am fine with it because it has won the Rockets alot more games than it has lost. This lineup has also gotten Rockets back in a couple of games such as the Grizzlies and Timberwolves game.

    Right now, seems to work as a defensive tactic to disrupt the opposing team.

    Decent enough offensively, but would be better if the PF (Parsons) can hit his 3s more consistently to spread the court.

    Usually the PPat, Parsons, Lee, Martin/Dragic, Lowry lineup is the more effective one, anyway.

    Great for energy, terrible for defensive rebounding.

    Not a fan at all. Basketball is a game about size.
