    I know, this one will get dragged down by double entendres, but neverthe less it sure seems that Rocket players rarely if ever come up with loose balls. It *always* seems that they commit the cardinal sin of bending to pick up the ball versus diving on the floor to get it.

    For a team that is (1) guard-oriented, (2) young/inexperienced, and (3) fighting it out for a last playoff spot this seems to be hard to understand...

    we dont have any role players. almost every player on this team is a "scorer".

    This is why you need role players, the Mario Elie type of player who will do anything to get the ball.

    Too many prima donnas on the Rocks.

    Tmo could be that type of player, but he gets zero minutes.
