we win this game and people are still crying? i thought this was a ROCKETS fan site...not a player fan site....this is pathetic.
I have, feeling much better now. Still I think with regards to the incident, it has decreased the chance of Wafer staying and even when we blow them out he wouldn't play him. Is it wrong for me to interpret it this way ?
They need to post Artest on the right side of the court....that's where he's most effective. Not have him getting the ball out side the arc.
I actually agree with this topic. Wafer wasn't playing that bad... but Ron Artest was playing AWFUL. He kept missing wide open shots, and throwing up horrible ones as well. Von deserved to play more in that second half.
If ain't broke, don't fix it...and i'm pretty sure we won the game. so everyone please shut up and enjoy the win. kbye
The thing is... Ron Artest WAS broke, and we didn't fix it. Plus, you're right, the fact that we think Von Wafer deserved more time on the court obviously means we aren't enjoying this win...
The thing is...this sport takes 5 people to play with on the offensive AND defensive end of the court. If you were actually paying attention to the game Ron had a great defensive game and held his own making it difficult for the lakers to score throughout the game...I'm sure Adelman saw he was struggling on the offensive end, but he made it up for his defense.
Like JVG said, the dude played 280 for 4 years before playing for RA. With the minutes he's been getting now, he should have nothing but thanks to say towards RA. Personally I think he's been playing for his contract this year, lots of shooting and less passing, which is good cause the team needs him to score. But eventually he'll have to learn to pass, in order to take his game to the next level, right now I'm fine with what he's been doing.
all von has to do is learn how to break a full-court press. he hasn't consistently done that, so adelman's got two PGs in there to beat the pressure. that's it.
Im a huge Von Wafer fan, but I'm pretty sure I'd trust Ron more on the defensive end then Von.... Von's an okay defender, but not better than Artest. Our offense was great in this game...but I think the defense was even better...
No...it is all about matchups and flow of the game. All is well. When things are going well why change it? Wafer was in the game and contributed. He may contribute more on the court next game. He can still contribute morally on the bench.
Not sure if anyone else noticed, but Von was the first player headed to the locker room. Most of the team, at the final buzzer, went to mid court to hi five the rest of the guys, but von just jogged into the tunnel. Take it as you like...
