    He hasn't been too productive offensively or defensively. Outside of being above average at setting up the offensive, he doesn't give you much at all. Yet, he is getting quite a chunk of playing time, while we have two other points warming the bench. My question is, is Morey telling RA to showcase Rafer to hopefully bait a team into trading for him? I really don't understand why we aren't experimenting more with PG position considering it's still very early in the season, and we have 4 PG's on our roster.

    I really hope Francis gets into shape soon. Jason Terry showed tonight that we still don't have a starting caliber pg.

    sad thing is, Terry is suppose to be coming OFF the bench for the Mavs this year. Devin Harris was suppose to start but he has an injury.

    Strange way of showcasing your product.

    It's like putting a car up for sale but making sure to smash the windows, rip off the seat covers, and pull the steering wheel off, each time a customer comes over to take a look at it.

    Was Almu Morey's marketing and sales instructor at Sloan School of management?

    Oh wait, nm. Cant be. My bad. Almu was Ivy league.

    His shot was on tonight. BUT his defense was horrible. The Rockets are having problems guarding quicker guards...and Parker is next in line.

    I thought we were 3-1 and just lost to a slightly better Dallas team? Yeah, this team is in desperate need of change. :rolleyes:

    Bonzi Wells is no good tonight either 1 for 7. Shoot too many 3 pointers. He is supposed to attack the rim. I even prefer RA to shoot 3s. Head and Mike are both top-notch 3 shooters.

    Terry and Barea (sp?) both got around Rafer pretty easily. Rafer also got lost in the shuffle a couple of times, which allowed Terry to pick his spots.

    That was only part of the reason the Rockets lost. But we're still 3-1

    Bingo

    We lost the game tonight because we didn't have players who play good down the stretch. We need a clutch player. Maybe Stevie can be that for us. He is our best penetrator and best at getting to the foul line.

    I thought Terry scored a large portion of his points when M. James was in the game?

    He was just on tonight and hit some pretty amazing shots, even with hands in his face.
