    Offense looks much better, defense is still pretty bad. I want to see some Mt. Mutombo.

    Man, Tracy looked a lot better.

    1) Offense is fine, but we play NO DEFENSE
    2) We don't rebound
    3) More Tracy in the 2nd half. I mean he has been pretty agressive and is 4/6 but you gotta give him the ball. Brooks ignored him, but we pretty much need to put him on the post or pick and roll more in the 2nd half
    4) Less playing time for Aaron and Landry. They suck

    Stop watching the statsboard and watch the actual game. Not done anything on offense...he has been the offense for the last couple of possessions.

    If we play some team defense and get the ball to Yao Ming this game is ours. There is no reason that Yao should only have 2 shots right now. Who's guarding him the Dream? Demand the ball Yao!

    Hard to explain Yao's +13 in 1st half though.

    He draws double team and get the other guys open when he touches the ball.

    Deke is a good defender but he isn't god. He won't be able to draw double teams like Yao.

    My only frustration is Deke not playing. I would rather have Deke in there than Chuck Hayes.

    Tofub has the worst hand in basketball. This game confirms it.

    Well if Grady is hot , he should know it and take over the game, don't wait till you have a play ran for you

    tracy got doubled a lot when he tried to use the screen so that's one of the reasons he only took 6 shots. the 2nd, i think he's trying to get others involved. he's making a concerted effort right now. he'll get his.

    his knee still doesn't look right obviously but he's so good. when he gets that knee straightened out, he should be fine.

    hopefully tracy can force the issue and try to play tomorrow to see how his knee reacts

    I would love for us to come out of the half with a lineup of Brooks, Von, Mac, Yao, and Deke. PLAY THE TREES!! Welcome to the jungle b****es!!!

    Yao is more than happy to pass out when double teamed. Seems like every NBA team lacking size is using this strategy.

    if this was JVG coaching, i'm sure tracy would have taken 10+ shots already. but as you notice, tracy doesn't have the ball all the time (rafer or the other guards are more involved under adelman). there were many times he went towards the ball but rafer waved him off and so on.

    I thought you had tickets to the game? Was hoping this thread wouldn't have to see you and your childish posting.

    I've mentioned that Yao has to pass well for the Rox to win, but all the scoring in the paint is ridiculous. Put in Deke at least for Hayes.
