The rocks really have missed Kenny's presence on the court, not much of physical player on the roster. Too many easy shots on the paint. we definitely need to have Kenny to intensify the game.
True, plus Kenny almost always plays with heart. Our guys looked really timid out there except for Steve and Cato.
And the Pacers really missed having Reggie Miller on the court. This is really not a good enough excuse. Sorry guys.
No one else really can carry this team tonight other than Cat and Wink! But Rudy has no one else on the bench!
I really find truth in this thread. The rockets need motivation (although they shouldn't) to go out there and bust their a$$ on the court. I think when steve is out there dominating and hustling it can set an example for the other guys. On the other hand, Steve is our star, an all star starter, and the other guys have come to expect that from him. Although Kenny has also proven himself to come and play hard every night, he is not a star; he is a "blue collar baller" (ha rhyme). And, i think that in addition to what he brings to the courts in the form of stats, he really shows the other mid level guys what they should be doing out there on the court--the should be hustling, fulfilling their roles the best they can, and make the greatest amount of difference they can given their talents (not unlimited talent like steve). Just a completely hypothetical hypothesis, but my .02 cents nonetheless.
and the rockets missed mo, tmo, and glen rice. do you have to keep bringing reggie miller up every thread? it's not an excuse for loseing but clearly having kt's hustle helps the team.
