Based on the last few games. IMO, the Rockets have reverted back to the two-man team that was booted out of the playoff in round one. No one other than TMAC and Yao can make a shot. I am diasappointed in Battier's play. Boy, how good would Rudy Gay look in this line up? Rafer is still stinking up the joint with teardrop shots that bounce over the backboard and out of play! It is time for Aaron Brooks to get some floor time! He is the best shooter of our point guards. Let him play! Adleman appears to be stubborn! After a week of no TMAC and a bushel of losses, maybe he'll soften up and let Brooks and Francis play!
It is still Yao and TMAC's team. No matter how you tweak the team, the achievement of the team is always decided by the performance of the two stars. "Rafer" is just an excuse. I've heard that Yao and TMAC had improved a little ... so we are a better team. period.
