And that team is the Golden State Warriors. Can someone, anyone tell me why the "young" players that they have play so much better together than our "young" players? And before any smart comments come out, they are only 2 (TWO) games behind the Rockets and 3 (THREE) behind the Suns for the 8th spot in the playoffs. I would like to think that Dampier is really raising all sorts of h*ll down in the paint, but in all reality he isn't. The Warriors starting five have 2 second year players in the back court (Arenas and Richardson), Jamison (a 4th year guy), Murphy (a 2nd year guy as well), and Dampier. I admit we only have Francis, Mobley, Yao, Griff but the talent base is much bigger from our side. I hate to say it but Rudy T has to shoulder most of the blame for the Rockets inconsistent play. Sure the players play the game but it's the coach's responsibility to come up with the game plan and offensive/defensive schemes. I know the Rockets are a "young" team but I really don't feel like Rudy T is the coach to take this team back to the NBA Finals. And I'm not accepting the fact that we are fighting for our playoff lives with lesser teams (i.e. Warriors, Suns, h*ll the Jazz, btw don't they have two 40 YEAR OLDS ON THEIR TEAM). I guess the Jazz are old enough to be in the playoffs, huh. Give me a break, please.
Better coach.....? Or just one who can relate to them?????? New school coach? Their team looks good. But so does the Grizzlies.
