Tonight we just witnessed the best game Rockets played so far this year. A few of you guys leapt from the chair when the last quarter was over. Rockets won the game not by Yao only but also SF, Mob shooting lights out. I am under no illusion SF will keep up FG% like this. But is it possible he's not practicing shooting lately ? I know Yao shoots 150+ a day 6 days a week ( by his own words). Remember Yao's FG% took a nose dive during a stretch ? He said it was due to increased strength training. Now he 's getting more used to it, his FG% is coming back. For the same reason, I am willing to wait for 2 more months to see Steve's FG% coming around. Perhaps he's been practicing passing too much.
I think that maybe Steve has had a hard time shooting this year because he has been pouting over the new offensive philosophy of JVG. Remember that Francis is kinda spoiled, but deep down I think he is really a good person. Hopefully, this game is a step in the right direction and he's finally adapting to the new scheme. If not he'll be gone in the offseason.
