When they got rid off JVG, I fully expected our #1 defense to loosen up a bit. At the same time, I fully expected our offense to perk up under the tutelage of Adelman. So 18 games into the season, our defense sucks as I expected but our offense is not that much different from the JVG era. Lest we forget, T-Mac's fragile body might not hold up for Adelman's system to be fully implemented. Adelman needs to do something quickly.
we should include Scola and Francis into our starting line up, develop Scola as our third or fourth scorer. T-Mac needs to be the leader, not just the scorer.
The stats show that when the Rox have played solid defense this season, they've won, when they play weak defensively they lose. It doesn't matter how good your offense is, defense is always going to be important.
the lineup is way too unstable. i still dont know what adleman is doing. first team: yao hayes battier tmac alston second team: deke scola wells francis james for the love of all thats right, stop experimenting and go with what you have for better or worse.
Is still Advocate: first team: yao scola tmac francis alston second team: deke hayes wells battier James ABrooks Head Snyder Rocket River
I think it is obvious that the first team needs to be YAO SCOLA TMAC BONZI THE FRANCHISE second team deke hayes battier james alston head brooks landry so obviously the second team is the problem maybe we should have attempted to develop butler and waive hayes because hayes has no trade value and battier value is decreasing every game to me the fans are to hard on alston we all knew what he was before he came here so why are we expecting him to be ray allen? we should package battier alston and hayes together and trade them. To who? I have no idea who would accept such a package. Maybe orlando lol
I couldn't believe people think Bonzi should be a starter in this team! Reality is that Rockets won 52 games last season because JGD didn't play Bonzi. Bonzi' performance is hurting rockets now. He is playing so bad, but coach A still put him in the 4th quarter. It directly results in that other players lost passion because they know coach A is an unfair caoch!
Even when bonzi is playing badly BONZI WELLS > SHANE BATTIER Battier needs to be traded he has no use on this team.
I think Rick should pencil in Yao and Tmac to start every game, and then to fill out the 5, he should put everyone's name into a hat and pick names for the next 3 guys... I would work just as well as what's going on now... Tmac can play a little Power Forward if that's the way it goes.
C'mon be reasonable. Your post is ridiculously illogical and so full of hate. Why are you hiding behind a keyboard instead of buying TC floor seats @ the opportunity to lick the sweat off TMac's balls? See how ridiculous that sounds?
What exactly did he say that was wrong. for exampel all the YOF's hero kobe bryant went for 28 points on 10-26 shooting, but he will be labeled as a beast. yes a beast for shooting 40%. but mcgrady goes for 14-30 for 40 points (10-16 in the 2nd half for 28 points) and he is treated like a outcast by YOF's here. do u're math. bryant would have to make 4 more buckets without missing to equal tracy's performance. Most people are getting sick of the stupid thread by YOF's here creating divisions and hate.
Tmac is great, although not perfect. 40 pts is already good enough. You can blame him not high efficient if compared to Bryant, but there is only one Bryant in the league. Steve Franchise is the goto guy to Rox and RA!
And yao would end up with 10 turnovers...but its not Yao or T-mac's fault, its the other players off the bench Mike James is the only player that can create a shot for himeself, while everyone else sands around and act scared...Shane Battier for Rudy gay & Swift, well JVG should have went on Maternity leave from coaching because he got fu*ked in that deal...Rafer is still dropping bricks like the twin towers on 9/11....for some reason Bonzi does not drive anymore, he just stands around the 3pt line like he's Glen Rice in his prime.....Scola plays well when he gets in, and hayes in a non-factor on offense when t-mac is out.. Offense is T-mac, Yao, Mike, scola and *francis
