Guys, WE NEED DEFENSE. Couldn't agree more cab. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
Man I can't believe all the Carlos Rogers fans compared to the Kenny Thomas fans. I personally think KT is way better than Los. Los is a guy I would like to keep on the team with his work ethic but better than KT. Now thats just ridiculous. Rebounding KT, hustling Los, scoring KT(I'm sorry, KT posts better, shoots better and has great foot work). Understand I'm a Los fan but more of a KT fan. Man, KT gets no props here. The one thing I wish we would do with Los, especially with all the tall SF's, is play him at the SF position against KG, Abdur-Rahim and Odom. Kenny Thomas defends the bigger PF's better as well. He really took it to Tim Duncan every game. Los is just not big enough but I will give him this, he has a big heart. KT is the future if not a starter a great bench player. ------------------
I am not a big fan of either KT or 'Los, but you need to check the stats before you say anything to the effect that KT is *far* superior. They are very comaprable and 'Los leads in several categories including FG% (52.5 v 39.9). I think this clearly shows Rogers is a much better finisher. I think Carlos will be around, but unfortunately won't get much playing time unless there's an injury. If Carlos stays free of injury, he has alot of upside potential due to his athleticism. -------------- GATER [This message has been edited by GATER (edited August 29, 2000).]
KT is a horrible defender, takes way too many 3-point shots. He is a good passer. Rumor has it, he hasn't been working on his game this offseason. That alone will put him in Rudy's doghouse. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
Im a fan of every Rocket player or has been Rockets player with the exception of Scottie Pippen. Though I don't hate him either. If it was up to me, neither Los or KT would be traded, unless really necessary. Each player brings his own dimension to the game that helps the team. Kenny has really good rebounding and is a pretty good scorer. Los hustles his butt off and does everything he can for a win. I personally think we need both on our team in order to win. There is no logic in trading either player.
I would take John Wallace over Carlos Rogers in a heartbeat. Wallace is 3 years younger, less injuries prone and a lot better of a basketball player than Carlos is.
"Far, Superior" no but better, yes. Good mention about KT's passing as well. Like I stated before I like both of them. I personally believe KT is better. IMHO. KT did also play the whole season only missing a few games. Los, I know missed more games. Not to complain but when did Los shoot? Only on rebounds, which isn't a bad thing. KT missed a lot of 3's, that didn't help much, his FG avg. When looking at FG avg. you got to look at minutes played as well. Yes, Los did well when he played but I really don't think he played more minutes than KT. Either way they will both be here this season. I think the Rockets are done with FA and sign and trade deals. Unless something pops into their lap. ------------------
When I wrote minutes played. I meant the shots that they took while in the game. KT had post plays for him, Los didn't. KT screened Francis or Mobley then spotted up at the 3 point line. I sure hope he is working on his game if not then I have no doubt that Los will beat him out, with heart. ------------------
Los is all heart , KT is all about that lost owl look on his face ------------------ Life moves pretty fast, If you don't stop and look once in a while you might miss it!! ... Ferris Bueler
