    andre barrett = the best pg on the team, can't get any love at all

    guess that is the price you pay for not being overpaid, truely disgusting

    boki in place of bowen is a good move though

    Well, if AB is not even going to play behind Lue, might as well put him in the IR. But Boki activated is definitely a good thing. Bowen is a terrific defender, but we need someone to spread the floor! Damn it!

    They're probably showcasing Boki for a trade. Don't get too excited if he goes off for double digits tonight. I bet he's gone. Sad.

    I am one of the few that doesnt think JVG needs to go, but not playing AB when he has done nothing but good things is CRAZY!!! IMHO:mad:

    :( Keep Ward on the IL, swap boki for bowen and win some games.

    All for trade I think, especially considering putting AB in dog house.

    I suspect [hope] it is as well.

    Lue to me is the odd man out. Nobody is going to take on Ward's contract unless we agree to pay part of his money. He only has one guarranteed year left - thank goodness.

    I love Bowen but his shot or lack there of is a problem. I love his hussle and disruption ability. I hope Boki keeps up with his production and play like someone in contract year ala Moochie, Cato and Dampier.

    Barrett shouldn't be on the bench. Ward should be on the IR. It's good to see Boki in the rotation again.

    Don't blame JVG for this it has more to do with Bobby Jackson & Earl Boykins.

    That would please me. He can shoot though (at least from the 3-land better than Sura, Lue and Barret).

    Boki hasn't even proved he's capable of "going off." I hope the guy does well because even if he was half of what Peja Stojakovic is, his shooting and size could give us serious contribution on both ends.

    But i'm not holding my breath. I'm sure there's a reason he hasn't been playing. And i'm sure there's a reason we didn't pick up his option, just like i'm sure he won't be a Rocket next season.

    Right now the two meaningless positions on our team are the point and power forward play, we might as well playing 3 on 5.

    Lue just refused to pass the ball inside to a wide open Deke and took the shot himself and missed.:eek:

    I can see Boki going to the suns. He would blow up in the sun's systems and he played for d'antoni in europe. D'antoni has alot of confidence in him.

    The same D'antoni who raved so much about Boki and Skitsa before the draft? Where is Skitsa now? A number 4 or 5 pick? Well the jury is till out on them but the fat lady is about start clearing her throat and vocal cords. And as for the Suns they thrive more on good shooting more than the porported running. Boki is not a good shooter - he is streaky and that more than likely will not fly well in Phoenix.

    It's very difficult to say if Boki is streaky - he's never played enough to develop a streak....

    :D
