    If you look at the Rafer Alston teams, there is certainly a similar theme to this years Houston Rockets, and comparatively similar results in the identity confusion.

    Organized and Methodical:
    Van Gundy
    Yao
    Battier
    Howard
    Novak
    Padgett
    Head

    Playground:
    McGrady
    Snyder
    Wells
    Alston
    Swift
    Mutombo

    So almost two conflicting rosters and superstars melded together. Would just like to see a consistent theme and commitment to style. If we are going to be high flying and athletic then the entire roster, or starting roster ought to fit together and then too, play defense with that same trapping aggressive athletic style. But right now we have not committed to style.

    I will give Rafer Alston a lot of credit for committing to Van Gundy offense and playing methodically and efficiently. But ultimately, the roster was mismatched to style, so we reversed course and went to the free flowing Adelmann. But same roster, and same results, because their was no roster commitment to his style.

    We rebuilt. And now we are in the Harden era.

    So you did make this same post before where you define athletic = undisciplined/playground, and unathletic = organized/methodical.

    Sorry, I don't buy that definition, at all. Alston was methodical and organized as an NBA player. He rarely ever showed his playground side.

    Tracy McGrady was extremely athletic, but also methodical and organized...certainly as much as Harden, who you put on the organized side, probably because he lack athleticism as other. Don't agree that Goudelock is on the organized side either. He's a playground gunner, from all we've read and seen. Needs to "mature."

    Lastly, don't agree at all that GSW is the epitome of the non-playground style...whatever that means...especially saying we are trying to be the "antithesis of GSW". That doesn't jive with each teams' style at all. GSW plays run and gun as much as any team, and that is really their primary threat that you must stop.

    This breakdown is false.

    He was in China most recently. That's how we were able to sign him when the CBA season ended.

    DEF needs to be 2nd PG, if not 1st in some cases

    Goldilocks can make good passes, shoot the 3, drive in the lane and not run out of bounds lol at a high percentage lol. He can also make layups. He creates his own shot. He has a floater too...I like this guy

    I think we found our tony Parker with a better shot.

    Both Goudelock and Beasley apparently didn't have a chance yet to read the memo of no mid range shot. :grin:

    Not sure, if this video already posted or not, just found it. Has a larger sample size than maybe other videos. Very good spot-up shooter, good floater and has some nice handles. Yeah it's against Euroleague competition, but still. I am watching a lot of Real Madrid's games and of course Sergio Lull. Goudelock is a better scorer, Lull a better playmaker

    Terry probably doesn't care if he never gets in the game. AG can shoot so put him in.

    He and JB and Brew are lovers. That's obviously the only reason Jet and Brew still get minutes.

    I've been wondering the same thing for the past week. Rather than wearing Harden down, by playing him 40+ mins a game, bring in AG, let him play 10 to 15 mins. and play him with Terry.

    This way we aren't wearing Harden down once we get into the playoff. But at least Bickerstaff is giving KJ some playing time.

    I'm beginning to think the reason Bickerstaff is playing Harden so much, is for him to keep his job as HC, he has to make the playoffs

    If he wore a headband, he might be able to sneak in and JB wouldn't notice.
