Agreed. I'd rather Manu just start to suck because of his insecurities about being incredibly bald, not wish for injury. Just cause we've had injury problems doesn't mean I'd wish it on other teams. In fact, we should know how bad it sucks and never want that upon any other team...even the Jazz. It just wouldn't be the same beating them if DWill was injured.
You are getting into semantics with your use of "the man" when juxtaposed with your next comment. Yes, you have a clear first and second option, but not "the man." Not much different than the Rockets...'eh. The Spurs have 3 "the mans" too, using basically two at a time. You can have "the man" and a team at the same time. Magic, Bird and Jordan proved that to clock 11 rings between them. I'm also in agreement with "the team" concept that ARG shows. I don't think the Rockets had an ego issue last year, either. We all understand what a "team" is and looks like. The 22 game winning streak was there to remind us. We were playing like a band of brothers that whole month. It was incredibly. The best display of "team" in the NBA last year. Quite a sight. Did you get to see any games of the Rockets during that streak? Cheers to the "team" concept that Yao and TMac and Battier and Scola and Alston etc give us.
Well if you want it that way, we have 3 options on the floor that are primarily options in Nocioni, Ginobili and Scola, they will almost shoot the same amount of shots per game, i wanted to point that we don´t have a 20 FGA player in our team, all 3 players will shoot between 16 and 14 shots a game, notice that Scola, benefited from the absence of manu and took 21 shoots. I think when you have 3 players that usually average 14-16 shots, plus Delfino and Oberto that may also take 10-16 shots one game or another yo don´t have a clear "the man" on your team. I would say we are a lot like the Spurs, and that´s why it´s so strange to me to see t-mac jack up 24 shots a game while shooting under .400 as he was last year. The absence of "the man" also can be shown at the end of games when the ball might go to any player on the court.
I personally wouldn't mind having anyone of those Argentine guys on the Rockets, they all seem like pretty stand up guys who have their priorities straight. Trading "Ginobli for Yao and Tracy", that was just plain stupid though. But I do like that group of guys(Scola, Ginobili, Orberto and Delfino), They played the "Re-deem Team" pretty hard. Yes, I do hope they win the Silver, Cuz you know who's gonna bring home the Gold.
