    This guy doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. Even the players on the team will tell you that JVG's offensive system involves pushing the ball up the court to get easy baskets when available.

    You know, in my opinion, no one knows what the hell they are talking about, unless, of course, they praise everything about everyone that ever involved with the Rockets (excluding Pippen and few others). This is just my opinion though...

    Doesn't this remind you of a certain ex-Rocket with the same initials as San Francisco?

    Only if you subtract the good TO rate and good decision making.

    Philly and Indiana are going to come on, and kick Orlando into the lottery. I guess Francis at the 2 wasn't so great an idea, after all.

    You left out the part that states those numbers are tremendous for a rookie.

    "Not ideal numbers for someone averaging 36.5 minutes, but tremendous output for a rookie.

    That quote is implying that Sura doesn't make good decisions but is benefitting from having very intelligent teammates.

    actually - I think its a great analysis of both teams. If Sura were really great, he would have been more than a bench warmer by now, but on this team of quiet, fundamentally sound (if not, outstanding) players, he adds the spark that gets the team going

    Tony Parker. The spers finally figured out that we had no perimeter defense which allowed Parker to penetrate and work his magic: running floaters and finding the open man due to weak defensive rotations. That's why we got our asses handed to us that game.

    i'm still suspect of our rotations on the defensive end; we still lose guys rather easily which allows for a lot of open looks by the opposing team.
