    Well, we all know Eddie is the future of our team. The thing that frustrated me is that half his shots are 3's:confused: I mean cmon Rudy. YOu see from now until the season is over lets let Griff play 35-40 mins a game and run plays to him. Let him get about 12-16 shots a game. Maybe 1 or 2 shots could be threes but let him work his low post game. We got to develop this guy fast. We need him to be our #1 scoring option in 2 years, Francis of course will be 2 and Mobley will have to accept the 3rd scoring option. Seriously. Griffin will be the one to lead us to the Championship. SO RUDY PLEASE LET GRIFFIN GET MORE TOUCHES!!!!!!!! :eek:

    The Rockets can lose every other game, as long as they beat the Blazers in the season finale.

    I agree...only because I want Eddie to make more threes (which I suspect you don't really care for). He's still fifteen 3pters short of a hundred and there's only seven games left now.

    There's really no reason EG cant be as good as KG. He has all the tools and just needs a little more work and a little growth. He's a good three point shooter at this point in his career but if he becomes strictly a three point shooter that will be a complete misuse of his talent.

    Right now EG's "inside game" is well below average. I'm all for giving him some "live" instruction, but putting him down low for significant minutes is begging for serious injury.

    Eddie really needs to work on his ball-handling, which I remember him saying he would do, this offseason. If he's going to be that KG/Rasheed Wallace type player, he needs to be able to take his man off the dribble. I think his post game will eventually be there, since is a good shooter and can hit from the baseline. I see no reason why he cant be a triple threat on offense...hit the outside shot, take his man off the dribble, and post his man up.
