    I agree. In addition, the presence of Glen Rice will probably make everyone's ppg drop. I would expect to see Rudy ease Rice into the lineup and sooth his massive ego by making him a primary option and asking Steve and Cat to improve their assists and Mo to improve his rebounding. You don't have to score 20 a game to be an important player or a starter, unless your name is Glen Rice. He might even lead the team in scoring. In fact, if he doesn't, he'll probably lead the team in pouting.

    Whoever leads in scoring, it is going to be a bunch of points. These guys should be one of the highest scoring teams in the league.

    It should come down to who the opponents think they can "let" get their points without jeopardizing their ability to beat the Rockets, i.e. give Rice his 24 points so he shoots the Rockets out of the game on a 12-26 night, or let Cat dribble all night to get 20 so Rice can't fire in 4 quick three's...

    More than likely it will be Francis, I don't think Rice will take his points, more than likely Rice will get some of Taylor's and Cats...
