    I don't know if anyone said this already, but how come Boki isn't playing at all? It is kinda sad to see him sitting next the coaches the entire game. I believe he could do better than Terence Morris!

    ALL STARS
    Yao ...the Dynasty- 2nd Center
    Stevie Franchise - Starting Guard...
    pretty good!
    What about The Cat?

    I've been really interested in seeing Boki play. I think that he should get more than five minutes in at least one game this season. I only saw him go in twice. I was hoping he might be getting an opportunity to play when I heard about Kenny getting traded but only time will tell.

    Thank you for replying...
    Our team has too many players. I guess it is good to have a deep team.
    We traded Kenny Thomas, but now we have Mr. Posey. Moochie is a good backup, but now Joaquin Hawkins has no playing time! Cuttino Mobley is ranked #2 in playing time...42 minutes. And now we have another G/F. Hopefully Mo Taylor improves. Eddie Griffin and Yao Ming are a great defensive couple. Cato is doing great on rebounding, but he just can't score.
    I believe that Bostjan Nachbar is better than Terence Morris because yesterday in the Pacers game, Terence Morris was just terrible. He couldn't even handle the ball and gave the ball right to Reggie Miller in an attempt to pass to Yao. At least he made a wide open shot. Bostjan Nachbar just sits there... :(

    Boki was specifically drafted to be Yao video game partner. Microsoft scouted Boki hard and the reported that he Xbox skills are above average. Yao will miss him during all star break (or buy ticket for him to join him in Atlanta).

    On a serious note though I cannot justify Terrence Morris' playing time ahead of Boki. Despite limited playing time, I believe I have seen enough to believe that is presently as good if not better that T Morris right now. Since he is your future 3, why not immerse him now? Maybe....just maybe The Houston Rockets officials are stylishless shopping him (T-Mo) by giving him this much PT (just like what happened in Kenny Thomas' case). If so I have no qualms with the plan. I strongly believe that T-Mo has not future on this team and that is not necessarily an indictment on his ability.

    I've read something where Rudy said that basically he's on the team this year to get healthy and learn the system because since they have no 1st round draft picks they are going to be treating him as next years #1 pick, except with a year of practice under his belt. Remember, he did have hernia surgery this offseason, and the team isn't going to take ANY risks with him when they have no 1sts next year.

    LOL...
    Yao likes playing games like Counter Strike and Starcraft. He is just 22 years old! Video game are like banned in Italy.

    About Bostjan Nachbar... we don't have a 1st round draft pick next year? Now we can't get Lebron James... we just have too many players. The only reason Terence Morris has not been cut is because he is reasonably tall and he has Maryland pride with our franchise player.

    Well Said.
    Let him play behind Rice.
    We don't have the problem with the big men anymore, but with Posey coming in, we've over-stocked with SGs/SFs.
    Just like a decision was made with Kenny Thomas, a decision must be made concerning our future and those players must receive a mad amount of CONSISTENT minutes this year.

    All this is moot. James Posey will split time with Rice. Boki has a guaranteed contract for 3 years. He has plenty of time to prove himself.

    We are playing too much Rice . He cant play defence and should be limited to about 15mins/gm. During this time he would get his offensive chances. If his shooting is off, then Posey/Morris /Nachbar would get extra playing time,as well as playing any of the SmF play that would have gone to KT. Posey should get all of the back up Shooting Guards duties, this might enable Morris and Nachbar to develop in the Sm Forward position.Hawking would have to take a back seat! This might be a good time to move Moochie either in a Trade or onto the pine, if so its time to develop Maddox as our back up.

    Good Day. I agree with most of your post...except

    PLEASE DO NOT TRADE MOOCHIE!!!!
    There are not too many reasons to persuade somebody to not trade him except his hair is awesome and he brings a lot of emotion and excitement onto the team. He is also a good passer and looks for someone to pass to instead of shooting. That's mainly because he cannot really shoot, but I still love him. I really like Tito Maddox too. We just have too many players... basketball with 20 players on the court...NO MORE TRADES!!!!!

    Oh yeah! LOL. I forgot...

    About Glen Rice being unable to play defense...
    that is true. Glen Rice used to be one of the best players in the NBA, but now he is just too old. Ron Artest was happy to be able to score so much last night. And Yao Ming threw a perfect pass to Rice off an inbound pass and Rice missed!!!!!!! Glen Rice will not be traded though because he is a "Captain". And Michigan Pride.

    I just don't understand why do we play T-Mo at all. He doesn't shoot very well. He can't catch no pass. As a matter of fact, he is below average in EVERYthing he does.

    The only reason I can think of is he played better defense. But how can we know how good Boki can defend unless he is on the court.

    Give Boki a chance.
