When I look at the Rockets What I find is that the Drop off between Starter and bench Player Is not THAT BIG Steve is better than Moochie . . . But Moochie is d*mn decent and even . . . better in some areas. He is more of . . . a floor general than steve to me. Shandon's D and Mobley's O Walt and Bull . . . Walt moves better and a better off the . . . the dribble shot . . but Bull is the . . . better Pick and Roller and the 3 ball. Moe and KT . . . The Twins. The Awesome TWINS!! Dream and Cato . . . One unfortunately on the downward side . . . The other HOPEFULLY on the way up I think the Mix n Match line ups that Rudy runs keeps other teams guessing. Throw in some Pig and Langhi or 'Los This team is AWESOME you never know what treat you will get from night to night. Rocket River ------------------
Another vs thread. Yet this one is much more appreciable than the Mo vs KT crap. Thank you! ------------------
And to think Doc Rivers gets Coach of the Year in a weak East for going 41-41, because he was attributed to having the best team chemistry and the best bench (scoring 48% of team points) with no stars. We are scoring 43% from the bench. The amount of heart and attitude KT and Mobley bring off the bench has a lot to do with Rudy carefully managing playing time and giving player's roles in which they can excel. They nice niche he gives Bullard and Collier to take advantage of their picking and moving skills and their shooting is indicative of having a 48 minute game plan. The way Moochie can supply instant assists shows Rudy is not against putting Francis in the 2-spot and exploiting mismatches. Great benches are the best sign of outstanding team chemistry and coaching philosophy and (yes) coaching skills. Rudy is having his best year!
