I think sometimes it's actually worse when he makes one of his shots. The moment he makes one, he thinks he can hit the next 5. Of course, we know what happens there.
Whenever Rafer shoots the ball...........the world is momentarily suspended, the gates of hell open......emo kids cut themselves to death........Micheal Jackson grabs his own nuts......and screams.....then everything crashes down with a BRICK!........as Rafer misses another shot. The world ends

I move a little on my seat, I groan and remind all the party that I have posted about this on Clutch BBS about ten times and it's about time that Coach 'A' wakes up and smells the roses. One other person then comments how can he be a starter? I reply certainly not on the rockets , especially if they are really contenders.They say who are you kidding!! I now think that Morey should be jumping through hoops, praying for december, so that he can make amends for his blunders-Alston, James, Head and Francis. In the case of Head he could perform better but is being misused by coach 'A' at present. He is, of course, only a spot up three point shooter and no plays are being run to make use of the talent of our role player.
Hold my breath until it inevitably clangs....then scream a word or phrase that starts with "F" or "Godd*****"
BEFORE: Awww!!! What a idiot!!! You don't pull up a 3 when you have 20 sec. on clock!!! Then my TV get abused with stuff... NOW: Before Rafer shoot I make a quick bet with my friend( Rafer's fan) to see who get the beer from the fridge. It's like having a personal beer robot
An advice to RA. I know you are trying to score but you just can't put the basketball into the ring that you aim at. You should do what I do. When I shooting target practice with the rifle, I deliberately aim a little off from the target so it will compensate it. I got better hit rate than trying to aim dead at the target. Or better off, load yourself with drinks before the game.
I cry. No not really, I curse and/or cringe. If he somehow makes it..it feels as if a burden was lifted from my shoulders.
A+++++++ THREAD! This is an important stepping stone in our Rafer Alston induced group therapy. Before he shoots, while he's dribbling the ball he gets the Juwan Howard "PASS!...PASS!...NO, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT....PASS!!!!" treatment. As he's taking the shot: "NOOOO!!!!" (Darth Vader style) After he misses: "GET HIM THE **** OUT OF THERE!!! DEAR GOD, WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL? DO YOU WANT ME TO CHOP MY LEG OFF? I'LL DO IT." (usually laced with more profanity though)
