HOUSTON ROCKETS Ric Bucher They're as inconsistent as young teams will be while battling through a lot of early injuries. You'd like to see the Rockets' development happen faster, but Rudy T's touch with players is hard to question. B Fred Carter If they can get the guards to involve Yao in the offense a little more, the Rockets could be a B+ team. C+ Dr. Jack Ramsay They need consistency from big forward in Eddie Griffin and Mo Taylor. They're playoff-bound. B Marc Stein Yao is already a feared NBA center. Steve Francis is scaring folks more than ever, too, to make you wonder what Houston can be if it develops a dependable power forward. B- Bill Walton Please find some forwards and a more complex/diverse offensive scheme. Please, somebody call Barkley and Drexler. B+ Grade Point Average: 2.9 B- http://espn.go.com/nba/s/midtermgrades/2003/midwest.html
Maybe someone independant from the coaches who they will respect who can tell them what it takes to win?
Walton has a point. Either Rudy doesn't control our guards or our guards don't listen to Rudy. Call Barkley and Drexler (or someone respected) and let them kick our guards' ass.
