    I would just like to summarize points on the thread:

    What do we need?
    Better offensive set -me

    Yao Ming needs time to learn to pass out of the d-team, but will - Jeff

    Better cutters, and better shooting from the pf - verse

    definitely the cutters - hikanoo49

    cutters don't deter the d-team - derrock

    Dive, Eddie, dive to the basket! - feishen, hikanoo49, verse

    No, Eddie should make d-teaming harder by being away- Dr. Q

    True, but when Yao is d-teamed, he should Dive! - verse

    Eddie should not shoot as much as Steve. - reptilexcq

    No one shoots as much as Steve. -MysticRyder

    Yao to not turnover the ball. - Rocket River

    That isn't completely Yao's fault - jeremyang2002, verse, feishen

    everything is backwards dammit - feishen

    Totally off subject - heypartner
    just messing heyp

    We need shooters who can hit open shots. - DreamWeaver

    Result:
    1) Better passing out of the d-team
    2) Dive, Eddie, Dive!
    3) Shooters
    4) Other cutters (Mobley?)
    5) Yao's turnovers

    6) And My roomate says, two cutters, one for Ming to look at and the other to pass to.

    Thnx for the replies.

    HeyPee, I'm not verse, and I stopped watching with about a minute and twenty to go, but I'll go out on a limb and guess it was Garnett. Do I win anything?

    It is so damn refreshing to read a thread that isn't Cuttino/Steve/Eddie/Rudy suck so get rid of them so we can win 60 games , go to the finals and be like the Bulls, Lakers and Celtics in their glory years.

    Yes, Garnett kept playing just to make sure Francis didn't get off his punk ass fastbreak at the end. After seeing Garnett surprisingly still playing defense, Francis pulled up for a "no harm done jumper the game is over" and Garnett said, "no that is not good enough" when Francis tried to shoot an 18'er...and Garnett swatted it.

    Don't F!ck with Garnett.
