Will, you make good points again. I know Dream has lost some. But if confidence is his biggest problem, then the more reason to try and keep getting him involved. Barkley got 25pts and 11 rebs in 33 minutes of action the other day. Olajuwon can do the same. But, if you are right about the fact that Hakeem doesn't want it anymore or my theory about his mental state is true, then Dream should be phased out a little more and turned into a rebounder/defender. But then again, we lose another scorer if that happens. I think that someone brought it up and so have I that the best lineup would be to have Cato and Mobley start and move Anderson to the 3 position. I think that is a hell of an idea. But we are still going to need that hot shooter off the bench to join Barkley now that Mobley is starting. Meaning, Williams or Drew or BOTH gotta go in a package. For example, the Jazz have Bryon Russell. He could easily start. But they got him on the bench. When he comes in, the tide turns usually in the Jazz's favor. Alot of energy and scoring coming in. I don't know. I might be wrong. But when Drew comes in, its not like I sit in front of the television and envision points, hustle, rebounds, defense...well, you know. We have alot of scorers. But the problem is that no one wants to take charge right now. Dream can't do it anymore like before. Chuck has turned into a rebound machine with the occasional 25 point game. And then we have Francis who one day looks like Jordan and the next he looks like Jordumb. I see John Starks as someone I would like on the team right now. He can still score. He can shoot 3's and drive without worry about what the hell people say about his game. And he plays tough defense. We had Clyde to do that before. Now we have no one willing to step up and light a fire under these hesitant players. ------------------ Live Rocketball. Breathe Rocketball. Die with Rocketball.
