this was adelmans and tmacs fault im sorry but im not saying trade tmac, just tmac has to step up and say he isnt feeling it 2 outta 13 should have been obvious adelman was stupid for drawing up plans for tmac, you dont make a dude hot in the last minute of a game
i think you're the blinded here, out of all the pgs we could possibly get, you want Barrera? And inever said all foreign point guards sucked, my point was that other pgs have good games against certain teams or for a certain time, usually do to a mismatch or hot streak, there's a reason why brooks doesn't have trouble making a team and barrera does. And a pass first pg that creates isn't the best idea when you dont have guys who can finish or make open shots. Yao can't finish with authority, tmac can't make jumpers, scola doesn't get opportunities, a passing pg would have made tmac 2 for 20 tonight instead of 2 for 12. The reason we didn't lose by 10 or more was because we HAD a scoring pg.
If only one play could not make shots, it probably means that play sucked. But, if all these players could not play well, it means that is not their fault! If a pg cannot let any of other players play well, can you say he is a good pg?!
one player WAS the only one who couldn't make shots , minus tmac, the rockets shot 45%. Landry, Tmac, Yao, and Hayes all shot 50% or better. Brooks, Tmac, and Luther were the ones who shot badly, but luther only shot twice, and brooks shot a lot better than Tmac. Scola and wafer were 2 for 6 each, but with more minutes they probably pick that up close to 50%, especially Scola.
There is a difference on the last play Duncan knew Brooks have to make the shoot, and if he just pass that ball to Yao is a sure dunk because Duncan committed to Brooks, but again the time was running out. Hill was making a lot big time difficult shoots on Yao, but Yao can't just go and committed 100% to Hill because that will leave the Brooks on Duncan and is better make Hill finish a difficult shoot that a sure basket is Yao leave Brooks on HOF Duncan under the basket. Alston would playing better, but is not Brooks fault he is just short and a back up, a great one, not a guy how can shoot other PG down.
confused about what? I thought what i wrote was pretty clear, but be more specific about what's confusing and i'll try to answer
This is just wrong, Yao's job is to protect the cup, Aaron's job was to funnel his man to the shot blocker and then deny the pass to Duncan as Yao shuts down the shot from Hill. It is textbook defense.....and Yao failed to execute on it. DD
DD, if you want to defend AB, rather than blame other players, you probably should have said that this is the 1st time for AB to be a sarting pg, and he will be getting better. Look at AI, the pistons lost the first two games after AI joined them. But, after they played together for several games, they beat the lakers tonight! Of course, in my opinion, AB is not AI. He is not a starting pg material. The rockets need to make a trade for a good pg.
Look anyone that has been on here more than 5 minutes knows I want a good PG in the most desperate way....... I can not stand Rafer, but to blame AB in a game where he basically ran the team ok and had them up 14 with 7 minutes to go in the 4th ..and then to have Tmac come in and take the ball away and piss the game away is beyond ludicrous. AB was not the problem tonight....he played hard.....Tmac......not so much. My wife and I were less than 40 feet from the floor, center court and she asked me why Tmac was not hustling......and I just looked at her and said..."EXACTLY". Did you realize Tmac would have had to shoot 4 for 5 to equal AB's night, which you are complaining about? DD
No one is blaming AB! He is just not a starting pg material. I guess we all know Rafer is not a good pg. So you put your hope in AB. But, reality is a reality! The rockets need to make a move for a good pg. btw, I think Tmac will be fine. He is a proved nba player. He just came back from a surgery. Inconsistency is normal. I believe both he and Yao will play more consistent after 15 games.
luther head for jarrett jack? it works... http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=2763~2768&teams=11~10&te=&cash=
it makes no sense if you add Head, as Losser Head is simply ignorable(or even play a negtive part in the package). I would also like to trade losser and her, but I just can't find a team which is willing to adopt those two. We have no choice but puting our hope to 2010 when we get rid of her gabage contract.
It seems the only feasible plan is trade her for Marbury. LOL. If this team has way too many HERs, then it's the coach that is to blame. He needs to stand out, be a man, bench the guy who sucks tonight, even if he earns more than 200 million a year.
