    I keep watching this sad piece of crap for a basketball player throw up brick after brick, and his man beating him constantly on the other end, and I have to ask myself does Walt have pictures of Rudy having sex with a goat?

    I mean Walt Williams SUCKS, he can't play defense, he is as slow as molasses and is just a WASTE of a roster spot.

    I would rather see TMO or Lanky getting some PT behind Rice as at least they would hustle, and rebound.

    DaDa,

    Many of us have been saying this since Walt got here, well at least since he started playing here.

    I haven't understood why he gets the minutes he does for a long while now.

    It's a pretty sad state of affairs when our beloved Clutch BBS members are forced to stealing Charles Barkely's jokes. :D

    I would like to think that Rudy is playing walt hoping the guy will actually pick up some good stats in hopes of packaging his ass up for a trade...But I doubt thats going to happen. Becuase the guy sucks.

    No one steals Barkley's jokes, that is an old saying.....

    As for the topic at hand, I just don't get it. Why Rudy takes FOREVER to try something new.

    Hell, even Popovich is starting a ROOKIE PG.

    WAKE UP RUDY....you are playing with a Baaaa...aaaaad rotation.

    Frustrating is what it is. Can some one please explain Rudy's logic to me in regards to his rotations? I mean my logic would be:

    1. Since this team is going to be 1st round playoff fodder (I hope), why not get my young guys in the rotation this year so that they can get needed experience and feel for the game, instead of waisting my time with a player that gives you nothing offensively and is a liability defensively. At least T-Mo would be a better defender.

    2. If I am going to put my young 1st round draft pick in the game how about I run some plays for him. When Griff does get pt, the only thing Rudy does is have him set picks on that lame p-n-r\iso play that the Rockets run all night which results in Griff shooting threes all night. Hello-o-o Rudy!!! Here's a novel idea, since you said that he is a power forward and not a small forward, how about putting him in the post where power forwards play. Hell why not run the play for him that you run for Kenny that would allow him to turn and face the bigger forwards that he can't just shoot over. Hell run any play for the kid any at all that will give him a chance to practice post-up skills instead of just having him shoot threes all damn night... sheesh.

    Hmmm...didn't know I was quoting anyone, but dang sure that was how I felt!:D

    ...unless you are not talking about my line ...suicide would have been easier to take...then never mind.:)

    Watching Walt this year, he seems to have lost a step... seems like the slowest guy on the court.

    It wouldn't surprise me though, that they want to showcase him for getting traded.

    And for some reason, whenever Walt or Cato sense that, they play crappy...

    Until Rice showed he had a pulse last night, i was thinking the same about him too. As far as Walt goes, i don't know why Rudy keeps playing him. He's bringing nothing to the table. Its too early to question Rudy T's coaching, but why is Griffin always at the 3 pt line? They say I'm too harsh, but I just watch and know that this team isn't maximizing its talents. Well, i don't know other than WALT SUX.

    You could leave him alone... but he still wouldn't score.

    Does anyone ever wonder if it's time to hire a new coach?

    I know he won two championships, but Hakeem could've won two championships with any coach with that same team.


    Maybe our young players need the Pat Riley or Van Gundy type of coach?

    I don't know about Walt. Getting Rice made Walt completely expendable. I mean, at least let's have something different of the bench rather than a poor man's Rice. Morris should get some minutes. Seriously, I'm just glad he didn't start Walt last night.

    I don't know what you guys expect from Walt! He is a three-point shooter, not an all-star. The Rockets never run plays to get him open for three point shots. Whenever Walt gets the ball, it's usually with 4 or 5 seconds on the shot clock, after Moochie has finished his dribbling show. Maybe if the Rockets used Walt correctly, he would put up better numbers!
