WE ARE PLAYING GREAT the scary part is we can be GREATER [MAN YOU ROCKETS FANS ARE DEMANDING ;-) ] I guess I'd like to hear from the Experts I want to see what you think we should be looking for. 1. Game Plan: I get a kick out of hearing HeyP educate on the finer points of B-Ball play calling Also . .. I think our D is under analyzed here. 1. Personel - Mo [rebounding] Mobley [passing] etc. a. Hakeem - IS PLAYING FANTASTIC - Keep it up b. Francis - Great - If not for the Palming thing he'd be ahead. improvement here and TOs in general. [how many palmings in the victory over indy?] c. Mobley - Looking to pass and has improved his decision making. d. MoTay - Rebounds and Defense e. Shand - GET INVOLVED .. GET INTO IT f. Walt - Get back on D [Since Guards are rebounding . . we need Forwards back on D] g. J Collier - improving h. Bull - same ole Bullard i. MOOCHi - steady his shot, watch Tos Rocket River enough for now bit more aggressive ------------------
Improvements I have noticed this year 1) Turnovers are middle of pack for team. Still could be better if the team played with more control. 2) It seems to me they are forcing the opponents into more turnovers than last year. Could just be me. 3) Where'd the FT shooting come from? Maybe its just that Cato's injured. I am also proud to say the crowd at Compaq has been shutting down opponents this year at the line. The weaknessses I see as a team are a drop off in rebounding. Last year w/o Hakeem and Barkley, the rocks were still winning this column most games. I think Cato will improve this area despite not being a superior rebounder. I also think he will allow the rocks to pressure the ball more on defense. Rudy is going to have to find a way to get some more boards out of this team w/o hurting other areas. Any good rebounders on the block besides Mutumbo? ------------------ As the wise Ewok philosopher, Logray, once said, "yub yub"
