I know that Thanksgiving hasn't even past yet, but I couldn't wait.......I'm going to call it right now- It is going to be difficult to watch the Rockets play this season, from an offensive production standpoint. This isolation offense is not going to work anymore!!! I'm talking to you RUDY! It might have worked last year, but this year it's not going to work most of the time. This team is dependent on the outside shot from an iso or from a passout. And now this is where I'm going to start my wish list for the Rockets: (1)- A PURE shooter (preferably a European) (2)- A NEW coach , I don't care what people say......It's not personal, it's just time for a change. We are in desperate need of a new offense. (3)- A MEAN player (ex. Oakley, Mason), doesn't have to be them, but these players are valuable in different ways. They say what they want to.....straight up. (4)- An AGGRESSIVE rebounder off the bench (preferably a power forward) with strength. Also, he can be an energizer (this is where we made a mistake in letting go C-los Rogers). (5)- A Fastbreak(period). (6)- Get Rice out of the starting lineup, it's bad enough that N.Y. robbed us. (7)- Waive Cato, it just pains my eyes when I see him play. Who cares, let him have his money.....I just don't want to see him anymore at anytime. (8)- Get Terence Morris in the rotation more often. (9)- No more pick and roles for Eddie Griffin, no sense in doing it when the pick is that bad. All this can be accomplished if we do #2 correctly. Say whatever you want, this is my Christmas wish list and I'm hoping Santa can bring home the goodies. What's your list?
