Taylor is not looking good at all this pre-season, his shot has been off. I dont think it will be long before Eddie is starting PF. Rockets need to trade Taylor.
What games are you watching!? Mo is scoring pretty well in the preseason, he is rebounding very well, and his defense has been outstanding.
Forget about starting EG. At the end of the game when the Rocks needed low post scoring they end up scoring 13 in the 4th. That is the difference in the game, no low post offensive game. EG needs to show a low post game.
Mo was 2-4 shooting and get this... had 6 rebs in 18 mins. If he's going to start rebounding this year, I'm gonna be one happy fan. I'm not worried about the scoring - we've got enough people that are capable of taking up the scoring slack if necessary.
Cat and Steve looked everyone off in the low post in the fourth. They may have gone in to Yao once but that's it. EG or YM posting up or attempting to was not the problem.
Mo is still a little slow, especially on D. But his shot looks nice, he is recovering from a huge injury, he will take a while to get to 100%.
Agree that Taylor is a few steps behind on D, but hopefully he'll shake off those concreate shoes as he gets more time on the floor.
Mo hasnt played a real game in over a year. All the conditioning, running, etc. cannot prepare you for a live NBA game. He will get it back, just takes a little time.
