Drexler is a dumbass. On that last backdoor play, Chuck points to Scola and says he's got Okur. I don't think Luis Scola was playing Center tonight... Then he half assed stuck an arm out and let Millsap get an uncontested dunk. Obviously, you are up 8 or 9 points, you don't want to let Okur pop out and hit another 3. Then Drexler talking about put Mutombo in if Chuck Hayes can't protect the basket. They need to get Matt Bullard back in there and let Drexler do some sideline work instead.
You base that on what? His 50 minutes of playoff experience as a little-played rookie? Anyway, this was a great win. Good to see Rafer step his game up when we need it.
after everything has sorted out, the problem the team has with tracy this yr has been his knee and how he's just been in and out and not been consistent. that's a very easy problem to solve.
why, we've beaten the jazz during the reg. season many times with tracy. let's do it in the playoffs though.
If he is an unproved player then how can you say he is unreliable in the playoffs? We don't know that considering he hasn't gotten consistent minutes in the playoffs.
Nothing gives me more happiness than a win over the Jazz baring winning a Championship,however I'm not happy with the way Brooks has been playing lately at all. His shot has completely disappeared. Battier was also terrible tonight. It's good that we won without Tracy and Ron but we have to keep on getting better.
It is not a very easy problem to fix, but it is fixable. I hope Tracy can become fully healthy and like his old self again.
People say yes we beat the Jazz without T-mac, well the Jazz were not healthy. If they are healthy in the playoffs we are going to need all of our games to advance.
wafer haters that said he shouldnt be in the league are no where to be seen. His defence is getting better every single night and offence continues to roll.
Great win.....some of our guys are really struggling though...notably AB and Battier... However, Rafer and Wafer more than made up for it with a nice dose of Yao and Scola. 4 players 19 points and over...TEAM ball baby !! DD
these past several games have proved : 1: Coach A is an offense master, look how beautiful our offense is when he finally has stable rotations 2: When the ball is moving, there's space everywhere, even when yao's in the paint area.
Great Win tonight, shows why Rafer is the starting PG. No knock on AB, but Brooks is to inconsistent, and is a better spark off the bench, plus Skip don't turn it over. Can't wait till Ron and T-mac are back and to see Wafer and Ron come off the bench, teams are gonna be able to handle that spark, plus Barry is playing very good, this team is geling at the right time. Hopefully tmac brings it, like he says he does on Ch. 2. Only time will tell on that. Now, lets go take care of Indiana Friday and pay them back for our loss earlier this yr.
AB is going through a slump. He just needs to keep shooting till he gets out of it. Adelman needs to keep his faith in him. Actually, it's been great for chemistry for these guys to play w/o Ron and T-mac. Last year, the Rox established their chemistry when T-mac was out and then when he came back they did a lot better. I think the role players establish their confidence a bit more and when T-mac and Ron come back, hopefully the chemistry will still be there.
I think his rotations are pretty easy to understand. He plays anybody who is an offensive threat, regardless of how poorly they have been playing this week, this month, or this season. His love affair with the offensive player continues. Aaron Brooks. How many shots is this guy going to get? Rick Barry? Come on. And Bill Worrell had the nerve to say "Maybe he wasn't playing defense" in regards to why Wafer was sitting. Adelman hasn't sat a player for not playing defense since 1978...
