    Its ridiculous how many wide open shots our players miss...I can tell on the look of Yao Ming's face yesterday that he is very frustrated we can't make open jumpshots. Our #1 goal for this offseason is to get some shooters...Wesley Bogans, Alston, Head are very inconsistent. We really don't need any big names, just different role players who can make open shots when Yao gets double teamed...like last year with Barry, Sura, James, and Padgett.

    Shooters, World Peace, Jessica Alba for Tinman, Zhang Ziyi for GoatBoy, and an upgrade at the four, are all we really need.

    Shooters. I hope the Rockets do get some quality shooters for next season. I will be looking forward to see what the Rockets do in the off season.

    In this regard, Frahm looked very good yesterday. He gave Yao at least one assist.

    Why the shooting percentage of those guys who come to Suns generally become higher , whereas those guys who come to Rockets suddenly do not know how to shoot... :(

    Jessica Alba has a really low basketball IQ, she wouldn't start over Stro. and thats saying something.

    And she is soft. :( Though she would be an upgrade to our PD position, you know, the power dancer spot and I am sure she would lead them to the PD finals. Get it done CD!!!! :mad:

    there is plenty of opportunity to bring in shooters this summer, with the draft being the first of them. obviously jj redick is the big name for us right now. he is expected to go late lotto to mid first round. we could snatch him up at #10.

    using the MLE is for one or two players who can shoot is a good idea. jumaine jones, rasul butler, chucky atkins, sam cassell, vlad radmanovic, b.jackson, jannero pargo, eddie house, and darius songaila can all shoot the ball.

    using stro and maybe head as trade bait there are some shooters on the market. mo pete, duhon, Q, etc...

    we will be able to shoot next year. i would bet on that. i'm not sure that our perimeter defense will be any better, or that our PF's will produce any more, or even that tmac stays healthy, but we will be a good shooting team.

    Keith Van Horn who is in his last year with Dallas is finished for the year. Wonder if he would be a good fit, he is coming off a injury season, but when he is healthy, he can knock down the outside shots and drive the ball.

    Another reason might be, under JVG defensive rotation system, players get tired quickly and lose their rhythm

    He's trash and a choker. The only reason the mavs beat us last year is because he got hurt.

    Draft Novak with the Knicks pick. Make some trades for a couple more 2nd round picks and draft Rashad Anderson and Kevin Pittsnoggle. That's 3 top notch college shooters right there. Odds say at least one will be great in his role.
