    Getting Hinrich would help right now with T-Mac not being at 100%. Hinrich guards the best opposing guard for the Bulls. With Hinrich, Artest, and Battier McGrady can slack off on playing D.

    Yeah, I know but hes wasted more than what he produced.
    Ball stopped moving in his hands. Just got amazed by the ball movement of our 2nd unit. :D

    What did Rafer do this summer? Is he 100% healthy?

    On the other hand, T-Mac is keeping us in the game being aggressive and creating for others... unfortunately, our starting PG can't seem to do that consistently. The one time Rafer tried to penetrate, he turned the ball over. The only possible way I can see Rafer's style of play being useful is if he was a good outside shooter. Obviously, he's not. T-Mac is still our best playmaker.

    Not by very much with our horrendous shooting, lol. It can't get much worse FG % wise though, hopefully we shoot way better in the second half.

    I am again reminded why Alston is a lil bi@tch in my book. God d@mn it! Make a freaking open shot.

    The whole team is not doing well, but that's a temporary situation and can be turned around in the second half. Alston's horrible bricking, however, is a chronic problem. He'd better practice his azz off in his own time, or he's losing the starting job soon.

    I think three of them should be his. He passed behind Yao when he was slashing to the basket at the end of the first quarter.

    Nothing. It's Rafer. :)

    I'm not sure if he's 100% healthy or not, but just Rafer being Rafer seems like a logical reason.

    the thing is rondo is always left open too. but he's not like rafer in that he'll jack a jumper. rondo will dribble in and either try to get a layup or pass it off. rafer can only shoot. and when he misses like this, he's arguably one of the worst players in the L offensively.

    I could not disagree more. Tmac is so freaking aggresive right now, he is single handedly keeping us in the game.

    Rafer needs to start attacking the rim off the dribble. he did that a couple of times and both times he went to the line. he needs to cut down on the mid range bricks.

    Allow me to pile on.

    Rafer should never shoot. Ever.
