    Damn you're weak. just answer this. after rafer brings the ball up, then who does all the primary ball handeling and decision making in our half?. who is the primary ball handeler in our half. who creates the plays?. who had 16 assists in the playoffs/. who avge almost 10 assists against utah?.

    so who the **** cares wat johnathan says. rafer was restricted? so was everyone else in the *** team.
    yao = set up for low post, can't? reset
    luther, battier, and snyder = stay near 3 point line. even when snyder cleary can't shoot
    bonzi= can't play cause u're too fat
    imo, rafer was the one who was the most un-restricted. he get to shoot 3s whenever he wants (see the 2nd to last game of the season against utah) rafer can shoot those ugly azz floaters.

    playmaking? in aldemens offense all u need someone to do is dribble (james and francis) and pass it too cutter. rafer is not a playmaker, he tries, but you can't realy be a playmaker, if no ones guarding u and your wide open.

    and your telling us we're high on francis? i think your high on rafer

    P.S. i shouldn't be saying arguing against an easy debate,
    especialy since i don't no who u r :rolleyes:

    True, but McGrady was the least restricted not Alston.

    Alston can playmake, believe it or not you can tell by his raptor days.

    believe it or not, team's strategy, is to leave alston open for 2 reasons
    1. he can't do nothing about it, except brick it
    2. he cant' show his playmaking ability

    if you watch his raptor and heat days he can easily playmake.

    Even his highlight reel shows it.

    My friend go korea, dont bother with him. i've given up. i've told him all rafer does is bring the ball up. from there it's obvious to any numbskull who has watched any rockets games, tracy is the primary decision maker and the sole playmaker. yet he has this fascination that rafer does all the playmaking.

    i'll answer on behalf of blazer_ben.

    i don't get wat your trying to say right here. in basketball, scorers can be great passers. y? they get doubled team, and if you're smart enough u no whos open. rafer time after time, will drive, but since every team nos he can only playmake. they give him lots of space, so they can react quiker when he passes or drives thats why he has to shoot those ugly floaters. how do u want us to answer johnathan? he jsut said hes not a point-forward. doesn't mean you cant be playmaker. dwane wade is a playermaker and hes a combo guard. not a point guard, but a combo guard.

    true, but feigen said that hes not a point forward and hes basically just as swingman.

    Go Korea do you think hes a point forward?

    i think its pointless whether or not if a player is point forward. thats just me. cause imo, i believe if your going to make names like that, might as well make a name point center or post guard. cause yao can pass. livingston can post on smaller players. but then again, everyone has different point of views.

    but, i don't think hes a point forward. he just had to be a point forward this season cause jvg restricted everyone else except for him. and mcgrady saw what he had to do, and patiently did.

    Dont you have you're own opinion? again, a player who dominates about 70 % of the time on the ball on our offense, if thats not the primary ball handler then who is?. rafer( i think he is a good player)brings the ball up, but from there he passes it to tracy who becomes the primary ball handler an decision maker.

    Well i just did. tracy does bulk of the ball handeling and decision making. hence the primary ball handler. lets just agree to disagree. :)

    I agree that t-mac is not a point forward.

    and you still haven't answered the jonathan feigen one all you said is that do you have your own opinions thats now answering anything.

    Thats he's opinion. fine. my opinion is that if a player does the majority of the playmaking and ball handeling and he happens to be a small forward, he is a point forward. you're a numbskull. what else would you call him?.
