    We have no good outside shooters. Every team that has succes has at least one consistent outside threat and that's what at the root of alot of the Rockets problems. Basically what I'm saying is, is there is no spacing. Yeah I know that Francis is shooting the three pointer well this year, but it's either a three or a drive in the heart of the defense. There's no mid-range with the Rockets. Cuttino is to streaky and the same goes for Griffin. When the Rockets won back to back championship, they had this part of the game covered and it allowed Dream to operate inside. We had Kenny Smith, Robert Horry, and Sam Cassell who were all decent mid-range shooters and not so bad for the perimiter. When the Bulls won after that, they had Kerr, Buchler, Kukoch and Scottie who were good outside shooters. I hope you see where I'm going with this. All of the players that are on our current Roster are trying to make the spectactular happen by going inside all the time and getting lost and haveing to throw the ball away, sometimes causing a turnover. This is effecting how Ming operates down low because the defense is sagging because they know the Rockets don't have a perimiter threat. It's effecting the spacing. So if making a trade for Brand is a possibility, then it makes no sense unless they throw in a player like Piatkowski who will demand the attention from the outside.

    Same stuff. Yep. Our 3 point shooting has been terrible. Same topics...we need a shooter. I think everyone notices that. That's why other coaches use their strengths against our weaknesses. That's why we lose to the crappiest teams in the world. We need a good shooter. Also a good rebounder. And a good coach. And a good leader. And a good point guard. And a good shooting guard. And a good power forward...wow...someone who was all that? Wouldn't that be great? Like Kevin Garnett.

    YAO.....when he's TRIPLE TEAMED....OR DOUBLE TEAMED...even when he passes out, his teammates don't help much by MISSING. We need a shooter.

    Yeah. You're right.

    You're repeating stuff man.

    If we had Elton Brand and Yao Ming together, it would not matter.

    Aww hell naw.

    Why not? If they double team both of them. None of our people can shoot. So it would pretty much be useless. We are in dire need of a shooter. :)

    AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
