    I am not worried about AB or Francis playing as they have talents. I am worried about which TMac turns up when they play. If TMac that turns up wanted to that we can't do well without Rafer we'll be in big trouble.

    Does this mean that we should chant >> "A A R O N . . . B R O O K S"

    Over and over again until Adelman puts him in the game?? hehe

    I would take Kapono or Korver for Rafer in a heartbeat.

    Exactly. Add what they think of Francis and James to what is obvious about Alston and you get a trade for a starting point, in my opinion. Guess we'll find out. The injury could very well be legit, probably is, but I think Rafer will get moved. Could be soon, or it could be later. Not much later if it's going to happen.

    holy cow. not every little thing is a conspiracy around here. rafer is not taking a dive and t-mac does not hate francis.


    if francis is starting, we're gonna lose. i am hoping adelman gives brooks some minutes.

    Another chance (maybe Adelman thinks it's the last one) for SF, hoping SF play well.

    LOL, only Rafer Alston can have a 4-5 star thread dedicated to him about missing a game. On top of that, folks don't even think he is really injured but more of a "phantom injury". This is hilarious.

    Errr. Most of the players aren't PGs, what the hell.

    Go look these guys up on their team rosters. They are listed as Guards. We might not need a PG. They are also the only ones that match up salarywise. Would you believe T-Mac is listed as a guard?

    That's what some people don't get about rating threads. You're not rating the content of the news but the quality of the thread. To me, if you vote a thread a 1, you're saying it's a waste that shouldn't exist -- not that you don't like Rafer being out.

    It's a real injury -- it's the groin. As I was told it yesterday, Rafer had to be taken to the hospital.

    Therein lies to the problem with the entire team. Because the team is so dependent on TMac (or because TMac shoots too much), and TMac is inconsistent, then the team is inconsistent.

    The team clearly runs more smoothly with Rafer at this point, but in the end, we know what happens when Rafer is the starter in the playoffs, teams ignore him and he sends up brick after brick and the Rockets lose.

    So, time to take some lumps and try other options......

    We couldn't beat Dallas with Rafer, maybe we can beat them without him.

    This team's stubbornness to change, especially Tmac will probably cost us again in the playoffs.
