    wow, so much energy and intensity. the game looks really fast. I dunno if the Nets suck or we're playing better than usual.

    Actually, we play well pretty often if you don't consider the games Tracy plays.

    bingo. rafer is a pass first pg. he needs the ball to be affective. tmac turns him into a spot up shooter.

    If Rafer is really this good of a playmaker minus McGrady, don't ever bring McGrady back. McGrady's need for the ball in his hands apparently kills Rafer's best attribute.

    Rafer Alston playing like the pass-first PG I thought he would play like when Rick Adelman took over as a coach. He didn't really do it as much last year, but it seems like he is becoming more consistent at being a pass-first PG. I always thought he was a pass-first PG, but he is driving and kicking it out which is very important to this team.

    Good job Rafer, keep it up for the rest of the season.

    I noticed the same thing last year, Rafer was much better when T-Mac wasn't playing, during his time not playing last year.

    T-Mac makes everybody except Yao Ming worse, but it's almost impossible to make him worse.

    This is one reason TMac should be traded, for some strange reason Rafer defers too much to TMac and his game suffers. TMac becomes the pf/pg and it makes Rafer less effective with getting the offense in the flow and collecting dimes.
