    This is shocking information...

    Who would have ever thought the rockets, of all teams, would be the worst offense in the playoffs.

    The current roster was built for JGD's defense system, not for Adelman's offense system. Most of our players are good defenders, but not good shooters. In regular season, they could run some of Adelman's offense might because opponents' denfense was not intense. In playoffs, it appears they are not able to shoot.

    Morey needs to trade some shooters this summer.

    Well, I think the problem is, that because we don't really have much of an inside threat, the Jazz are double-teaming our shooters, rather than guard the post.

    I mean when do you expect Deke to get the ball and try to post up on Carlos? Other than Luis, there really isn't a severe threat down there.

    That is one reason, but it cannot expain why our FT is so bad.

    Morey needs to buy some shooters this summer.

    Well, most of the people getting fouled are Luis, Landry, and sometimes T-Mac.

    That'll bring anybodies FT shooting down.

    So far, FT% in this playoff series,

    Landry, 71.4%
    Battier, 70%
    Jackson, 67%
    Scola, 65.5%
    Tmac, 57.6%
    Rafer hasn't shoot a FT yet (what does it mean? :eek: ).

    Nobady is good.

    The shots have been there, they have not hit them...Or even, the lay-ups have been there, they are just not making them.

    Unacceptable percentages for McGrady and Scola.

    Unacceptable that our point guard hasn't shot free throws yet through two games

    One more poor shooting exhibition by Rafer and he's right on my signature averages.

    i've said it before and i'll say it again. T-Mac is a ball stopper and horrible off the ball.
