Are we the only team in the NBA who doesn't have a 20+ scorer this season?

    I mean our highest scorer is averaging 17 pts. With yao being doubled all the time and tmac playing less than 100%. Do we really have a go to guy anymore that can dominate and score when our other players can't make shots in a game? I'm all for balanced scoring but sometimes in the playoffs u need a go to guy who can dominate a game. We just don't seem to have that right now.

    Thats a good thing generally, you want to spread the scoring around because that means no one is getting worn out as the season goes on and they can't really double anyone in particular because everyone is a threat to score.

    Although we need Tmac and Artest to start making their shots, but once that happens I think we're a tough team to beat.

    We have TWO guys who should be 20+ guys.

    T-Mac and Yao Ming.

    Thanks to Addled-Man's dumb philosophy of "everyman" play, now our stars have regressed.

    Addled-Man is the reason why we have no Superstars anymore.

    Yao Ming? He's an average center now.

    T-Mac? He's an average guard now.

    Everyone is the same under Addled-Man's style.

    Tmac hardly gets any shots anymore. Its like the Rockets ignore him, our roster is consisted of trigger happy players. Aaron Brooks our backup PG comes off the bench and starts firing immediately. Rafer loves shooting all the time Ron Artest is a chucker. We need to go back to formula and give Tmac the majority of the shots

    You know, i'm starting to see that trend too and its alittle disturbing. Yao and tmac, statistically are not all-star caliber right now.

    I know we are trying to emulate them in a way, and its been semi-successful. But you see pierce starting dominating in the finals. Hopefully tmac could still do that in the playoffs this year with the system we been playing.

    HAH, you are a joke. You are no different than the numbskulls that blamed JVG for anything and everything that went wrong. Now it's all Adelman's fault that Tracy is whining about his knee and wants to sit out. It's also his fault that Yao is playing like a slow creampuff that can barely move.

    It's time for Adelman to give up his socialistic basketball philosophy and stop trying to spread the ball around.

    I'm serious.

    Yao Ming is not equal with Vlade Divac. He's better than Divac. It's ok to be better than Divac. Damn you Adelman.

    Put it this way - There are 30 NBA teams
    The #30th ranked scorer in the NBA averages 18.4 pts.
    The lowest 20 per game scorer is at #24

    Its darn near impossible for every team to have a 20+ scorer, let alone 2.

    I'm sure Y and M will be back to their 20+ ppg if they manage to get relatively healthy this season. Nothing with the coaching philosophy. Adelman's try to spread around the points until they regain their dominant form.

    Some of your guys should just stay on fantasy ball, nba is not all about stats but who cares if no one averages 20+ points just as long as we win a championship I'm all for it.

    i don't think it's they're ignoring him. tracy is just passive right now. he can easily call for pick and rolls still if he wants to but doesn't want to. he's very limited.

    when tracy comes back, i'm sure he'll get his.

    but i'm not worried about tracy anymore. i'm worried for ron
