Great Move by starting Bowen

No they don't play better. Bowen causes the defense to collapse even more on Yao and TMac and leave him open for one of the ugliest looking jump shots in the league. Bowen is a 12th man. He should be brought in the game to kick somebody's butt who is loafing on the floor, or to put a hard foul on an opponent and change the dynamics of the game. At the very best........he is a designated stopper for certain players in the league. That is all.

Yes, it is all about chemistry. You want chemistry, put Boki at the 3 and let the Rockets run it up the floor a little bit with him, TMac, Sura, and Barrett. You want chemistry, watch Boki can all those wide open 3 looks our SF gets when TMac is handling the ball. You want to see some chemistry, put Boki on the wing and watch how effective he is playing the dump in 2 man game to Yao. He is either the best or second best entry passer on the team. And he will hustle if encouraged instead of being berated over every little mistake. This is the NBA man, not the University of Grumpyton. Boki is not a problem child. He doesn't show up late for practice. He is not staying up all night partying and giving a half ... effort at practice. He is not publicly hammering the coach. He isn't fighting with his teammates, smoking dope, skipping plane trips to go to a Texans game, or shooting his girlfriend. He is a team player, a hustler, and the kid works hard, all summer in the gym as a matter of fact. He does not need to be constantly beat down to keep him in line, to keep his ego in check. He needs a coach to encourage him and encourage his team to run the ball up and down the court, make a few mistakes, learn from them, and keep applying pressure to the defense.

Bowen Schpowen, Madsen Grabsem, Bowen Twelthmen. Bowen who?

Bowen has provided a lot of energy for this team, but how many teams in the NBA would start Bowen? Only 1.

The problem is that we are lacking offense, and we have one of the better offensive players sitting on the IL with NO INJURY. Just when you think you couldn't hate JVG anymore, he does this crap.

Boki has game, we've seen it. People say he is inconsistent, well, that comes with inconsistent PT. JVG screwed up big time on this, Boki was the 2nd best 3-point shooter in the league, and you put him on the IL for Gaines/Bowen. What a bunch of crap.

Inconsistency magically turns into streaky when a player is given minutes.
