    but that's why jvg says the rockets don't need another pg, when his shots aren't falling, at least he keeps on trying.

    Time to come back with McGrady and build some momentum going into the half.

    with mutombo.

    probably so the team can coast for a little while they rest and then bring them back (maybe after this timeout) to finish the half strong.

    They need to find a way to free McGrady from those double-teams...no one else is scoring the ball, so they need T-Mac 'forcing it' tonight.

    The problem with that philosophy is that games aren't won soley on effort. I don't question that Rafer is doing the best he can, but that isn't enough. He needs to combine his effort with better decision-making if he wants to be a more effective player. As for JVG, his outright refusal to see the weaknesses of his players bothers me. I happen to be a huge Van Gundy fan, but I've always been irritated by his never-ending devotion to mediocre players.

    i'd say we need to get some penetration, but we'd probably miss those layups anyways.

    I do have one question, since I can't see the game where I am. In the past, the Rockets ran a post play for McGrady on the right block, one in which he came off a screen and flashed to the box to receive an entry pass. Van Gundy ran the same play for Larry Johnson when he was coaching the Knicks, and it was highly effective. Is the play still being used? If not, it might be worth trying to get McGrady the ball closer to the basket.
