    I've really liked what I've seen from Tito. He doesn't offer much as far as scoring goes, but MAN does he have this offense running smoothly. Already 3 assists in just a few minutes.

    Rudy has MoT coming off the bench (not because he's not good) because he needs to strengthen the bench.

    I say, move Francis to SG, Mobley to the bench (to solve the bench problem) and MoT back to the starting line up.

    Wow, Tito is creating easy shots for teammates, and they aren't alley oops!

    Yes, Tito gives us height/defense that we don't have with Moochie. Both have PG skills.

    So, our problem is trying to make Francis a PG.

    I'm sure he can learn. But, it would take 2-3 more years.

    Tito also does a very nice job of pushing the ball down the floor.

    PG - Tito/Moochie
    SG - Francis/Mobley
    SF - Posey/Rice
    PF - MoT/Griffin

    But I still like SF to SG. His stat will remain similar to what he is now but he will get less TOs because he spends less time on the ball.

    Yao Ming has been running up nd down the court with so few touches in this quarter, most of the outside shots have not gone in. Give the ball to Yao Ming.

    Yes, we play better without the injured Franchise. Mind you, part of it is because of Grizzlies' poor plays.

    Totally Achievable
    If the Rox continue beating teams they ought to beat... and that includes Grizz AND Boston, then we're definitely a playoff bound team. Phoenix, IMO will be the odd team out. As we approach playoffs and each game becomes critical for playoff positioning, you'll see teams slow the game down, the scores will taper down a bit, and there'll be more half court play. All this favors the Rox, IMO.

    I can't stand the timbercubs, but I like the suns, even less. My feeling is that Rox are heads and shoulders above both teams, and I suspect they will overtake them before this season is over. Wildcard is Lakers who doubt will jockey for that last spot. Though I don't think they will climb substantially in the rankings, I do think they mean trouble for whoever is trying to get that 8th seed.

    :D
